[Stable Update] 2021-04-18 - Kernels, Mesa, Wine, Plasma5, KDE Frameworks, LibreOffice, Bluez

same here :frowning:

like some other people I also have the issue that (I think) Mesa is broken. none of my games on steam that used to launch before the update work anymore. Has anyone found a fix for this ?

Edit: just tried launching a portable exe with wine- also doesnĀ“t work anymore, is this maybe a wine issue ?

Given all those issues (mostly about KDE and related applications), I think Iā€™ll wait with this updateā€¦

Also I wonder how many people are using the testing release channel.

Environment: XFCE (+ Compiz). AMD rx480 GPU (with open-source drivers)

Update seems absolutely fine, but using kernel 5.10.30-1 causes strange frame rate issuesā€¦

Gaming and even just moving desktop windows etc causes random drops below vsyncā€™d 60hz (itā€™s very obvious & visible). Wasnā€™t there before the update. Dropping down to kernel 5.9.16-1 completely removes the issue.

[Note: havenā€™t tested other kernels as yet]

  • Also, as a quiet happy user - a big thank you for such a great Linux/Arch-based OS. Havenā€™t looked back since moving 100% from windows 2 years ago :partying_face:

Evolution stopped working after this update. I use sway - never had any issues with evolution. It seems to have problems getting the passwords as it always asks for them and shows the message on startup:

(WebKitWebProcess:2): dbind-WARNING **: 19:11:36.112: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

Any Ideas?

Thatā€™s VERY strange.

Not sure how you update your system, but you should have a .pacnew to diff the config-what-the-grub-devs-think-it-is-good and your config.

A suggestion: I think you should create a new thread for your problem: it will be more visible there. :wink:

Digikam menu appear partially translated, some remain in English

My dock is squared, transparent and tall(?) and before the update it was almost opaque, rounded and normal-sized. Not sure what happened there.

@johnnyasantoss Shell theme is broken in the latest update. Either downgrade it or switch to Adwaita.

they said you can delete it, you donā€™t need it

wow I thought I only had issues with steam but yeah my dock also changed.

are you also on kde plasma?

no new entries appear, when I plug or unplug the monitor.

ā€œSettings - Displayā€ only shows one display, the one from the laptop

I tried the monitor (with the same cable) on a different computer, works fine.

I also tried other monitors on mine, no reaction.

This is how my Hardware Configuration setting looks like, in case this helps:

PS: I found that there are packages called xf86-video-fbdev and xf86-video-vesa but from the dependencies/conflicts Iā€™m not sure I should try to install thoseā€¦

Iā€™m using Gnome, but I think Iā€™ll switch themes to see if it gets fixed

hello,
same problem here after an update of gnome-shell-extension Night Theme Switcher today.
All Extensions were turned off.
Not sure if this is a solution for you but I removed that empty folder:
(check if folder is empty before removing)
$ rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extension-updates

Then I just logged out and in again. (perhaps reboot might be helpful, too)
Starting the Extension App, I switched on extension again( in the upper right corner)
and I got my ā€˜oldā€™ look n feel gnome-shell configuration back.

could you please come back to me once you switched themes? would be highly appreciated!!

Lockup / system freeze on resume from suspend after update (4/18)

XFCE/LXDM - Not a display manager issue since it starts up fine. However, I get a hard freeze on resume. A real hard freeze, unblinking cursor in topleft. Nothing works, no tty, caps locks etc. Have to hit reset each time. Absolutely nothing in logs. How to troubleshoot? Thanks.

I still have a problem with Mesa/Wine/.exe tough I have found a temporary solution with a setting MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5

But why was it there in the first place?

wine works wrong, solved
