Can’t upgrade:

error: failed to update extra (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update community (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update multilib (unable to lock database)
error: failed to synchronize all databases

That means either something else is already using the Pacman database (like Pamac checking for updates) or you had a failed upgrade and the db.lck was not removed automatically.

:warning: Only run this command after trying to update again with the same result.

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

The issue persisted after a reboot, but I’m upgrading with pamac now and it seems to work so far.

even updated the community edition
I have on cinnamon everything is fine
thanks to the team and the manjaro community

Hi guys, I am very pleased to report:

  1. my 6700XT works properly after this mesa fix (no glitches)

  2. My HDMI/DP audio no longer gets REMOVED after locking and unlocking the screen (pipewire)

It worked well for me. I use gnome-keyring for unlocking Skype on startup, and the gnome-keyring issue someone mentioned in the previous thread didn’t happen to me. All was smooth, and I’m only posting this to prevent anyone from being deterred by a potential gnome-keyring issue. There was 1 pacnew file for makepkg and I merged its changes in with meld, keeping my personal change to make it use 3 threads maximum so I can use my computer while building.

MAKEFLAGS="-j$(($(nproc)+1))"

Nah. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

What do you mean, “Nah.”? I’m saying I preserved my MAKEFLAGS value, which says this: MAKEFLAGS="-j3"

I preserve my MAKEFLAGS value as well. Your preference is fine for whatever works best for you. Not being serious as you can tell by the emoji. :wink:

I meant, “Nah, I max out all my cores and queue the next job for when a core is available. Why would I only want to use three?”

Oh, that makes more sense. I thought you were trying to say, “Nah, if you merged makepkg.conf.pacnew, which has this line that I’m showing you, it’ll use more than 3 threads, so good luck thinking that’ll work!”. Now I get you. Thanks for explaining.

Having this issue with GNOME 40 after the update.

GDM no longer starts on it’s own. I need to press ctrl+alt+F2 to get to the terminal and then I can immediately switch back (w/o logging on the text login) and GDM will start normally. I was able to log in. This problem happens now on every boot of this install.

This is the first time in years I installed GNOME; used Manjaro from the iso. Today’s update was my first (large) update with it. Did not have this issue before. Basically I am saying this a fresh new GNOME 40 install + I am not familiar with new GNOME.

I had to set KMS to start early to fix it for me.

A post was merged into an existing topic: [ARM Stable Update] 2021-04-27 - Firefox, KDE Frameworks, RPI Imager, Uboots and Kernels

…so far …everything is just okay with me :grin:

Why is (Kernel Mode Setting?) it not working now?

It worked fine before the update.

I always run sudo update-grub before startup to check if kernels are still there.

With this update the kernels where gone in grub. Manjaro settings was also gone from the app menu.

After reinstalling manjaro settings, I installed a non used kernel and that showed up after sudo update-grub.

After reboot I reinstalled the last LTS kernel, that was being used before reboot.

Thanks Manjaro team!

Has anybody experienced issues with cheese after the update? Video flickers just like if the app was working on a persistent burst mode or something …

Unfortunately, I’m not able to reproduce the issue anymore since I decided to roll back to my previous snapshot. There should be many journal entries related to cheese with a gstreamer error, if somebody is willing to reproduce it.

EDIT:
Just decided to step up and try the update again. :slightly_smiling_face:
This is what I get so far whenever I run cheese:

(cheese:1901): cheese-WARNING **: 13:16:10.322: Internal GStreamer error: code not implemented.

Same thing happens if I switch to kernel 5.10.32.
If I test with another webcam enabled app such as Skype, the video output works fine.

Any ideas on how to proceed with this?
I know this issue is not a big deal but IMO, you don’t expect minor things like that to happen in a Stable Release.

EDIT 2:

Issue Resolved.
Downgraded pipewire and pipewire-media-session to version 0.3.25-1

With this last update I noticed an improvements in ram usage at start on Manjaro XFCE. Before I had 700/800 mb of ram used and now around 500mb. Nice. :slight_smile:

No issues with cheese on my side
