KDE with kernel 5.10.32 LTS, systemd-boot and SDDM. Everything seems to work, but I noticed some strange things during startup after upgrade (rebooted multiple times, the issue exists):
- After entering volume decryption password at boot (got encrypted main drive with custom partitioning + encrypted RAID1), boot manager starts displaying all the usual messages, including UUID of disk drives. And now one of UUID is displayed incorrectly - a question mark is added instead of one of characters. Before update:
UUID=a1b92429-9eda-4260-8099-204a151d8e3f
After update:
UUID=a1b92429-9eda-?260-8099-204a151d8e3f (notice ? instead of “normal” character).
both fstab and crypttab contain valid entries and RAID is automatically decrypted during boot just fine. It’s just that glitch with ? mark…
-
When boot ends and it’s time to start GUI (I have auto-login enabled in SDDM) instead of displaying KDE desktop immediately, system displays black window that has blinking
_symbol at the top. Just like command line. After a second or two, it disappears and desktop is displayed. -
Not sure if this is issue with Manjaro or KDE/SDDM itself, but I have it for 2 months already, and it’s still not fixed. If there are multiple keyboard input languages installed and lock screen is displayed (either after screensaver or manual locking), keyboard icon is displayed at the bottom as usually, but language icon is missing; therefore, it’s impossible to know which language you use to enter password. The only way to find out - enter password and “reveal” it by clicking the corresponding icon in password field. Not a very big problem, but language selector worked for years and it’s now broken.
