[Stable Update] 2021-04-28 - Kernels, Wine, Ruby, JDK, KDE-Dev, Mesa 21.0.3, KDE Apps 21.04, Python, Haskell, Mate 1.24.2, Virtualbox, Thunderbird

I have FF Dev Ed 89.0b4 (64-bit) and KDE and found no problem.

I have problem with the exact same combination (KDE & Firefox Dev Edition)

The problem of color theming in QT Applications has not been solved! :confused:

QGnomePlatform is working as intended. I have no issue with it using Adwaita or themes based on it like Orchis. The Fedora devs have added some rudimentary Kvantum support, but it’s not a priority for them.

Kernel 5.12.0 just straight up won’t boot on my machine. I make it to the ‘No IRQ for Vector…’ messages created by the kernel, and then blackscreen. No ability to view startup messages, no ctrl-alt-f switching, no visible kernel panic, no GUI, nada. “It ain’t there, kid!”

Happily, 5.11.16 still runs like a champ.

– edit –

Additionally, I can’t find anything in the system logs pertaining to a failed boot of any kind.

Hey there! Since ~3 weeks I’ve been experiencing similar issues, so I opened up a post at this forum. It turns out many more people has been running into the same, and we’ve been sharing our experiences since then. We’ve not found an effective solution yet, but hope you can find some useful information over there! Feel free to provide any ideas or issues you may face :smiley: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/system-frequently-crashing-after-gpu-drivers-update

Everything worked perfectly except I have a strong feeling that the colour calibration on my Thinkpad internal display has changed - colours are desaturated, there’s a blue tint, etc. I don’t have a hardware device for measuring colour calibration so I can’t be certain but after rebooting it immediately looked noticeably different. Anyone experience anything similar with this update? The graphics setup is ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th, Intel Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520], i915, modesetting.

EDIT:
I switched to Windows 10 on the same laptop, no issue, the colours looked saturated and full. Copied the ICM file for the colour profile Windows was using onto my Manjaro partition and then booted into Linux and activated that colour profile: no change. Then I realised that it was only in Chromium that I was noticing the weird colours, not so much the rest of the desktop environment. I went into Chromium flags and set the " Force color profile - Forces Chrome to use a specific color profile instead of the color of the window’s current monitor, as specified by the operating system" flag to the same color profile I had set in Cinnamon DE-wide color profile settings and relaunched Chromium. Now the colours look normal. I guess it must be a Chromium bug with the new version?

Hello!
Big mess here.
I dont use grub anymore. Only EFI with bootctl.
/home is on btrfs and /efi obvioulsy on fat32.
5.12 just hangs (rc5 was ok)
5.10 stops as it can’t mount /home.
mount -a gives : vfat and btrfs = unknown filesystems.
Where should I begin???
Some help would be great…

Called systemd-boot :wink:

I had not used CMake-gui for a month but today when I started it:

❯ cmake-gui      
cmake-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libQt6Widgets.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Edit 1: qt6-base is optional dependency of cmake and it resolves the problem.

sudo pacman -S qt6-base

Why? Is there a specific fix?

Another issue is that Kate has disappeared as a select able menu item in the Gnome panel. I can still run it from the terminal. Reinstalling it from pacman -S did not seem to affect it.

Kate does show in the menu tool.Screenshot from 2021-04-30 00-24-24

Kwrite still shows up in the Gnome menu like any other app.

Not sure what to do at this point.

Edit: I toggled Kate off and on in the menu tool and it showed normally for a moment, was able to open it, but the icon no longer shows after a few seconds in the GNOME menu.

Edit2: I Installed the same iso to two different machines. One of which I did not update. Can confirm that Kate shows normally on the one that did not update.

Sure… But Bootctl is mandatory to automate updates.
I’m not before my gear right now but would appreciate to have some directions with that mess.
Obviously, the kernel modules are not loaded (else mount would not fail).
Any idea on that regard?

Having problems with wine after the last 2 updates.

I suspect Akonadi not working has to do with KCoreAddons (and several other KDE packages) being installed from git (from the community repo) instead of the actual release.

How do I make sure everything goes back to an actual release in KDE, instead of git packages?

Firefox would not start at all ( I could not go in and disable hw acceleration because it was just not starting ) I downgraded back to Firefox 87 and started with backwards compatibility to recover my profile.

This seems to be broken for a lot of nvidia and intel users. Kind of a surprise this was allowed to get into stable.

I have a similar problem here with plymouth, sddm + kde. Boot gets stuck just before showing the loginscreen, no reponse to keyboard, no switch to tty, no ctrl-alt-del. Only emergency power off helps.

System reaches login when I press ESC early enough to exit plymouth before login.

Install plymouth-git from AUR,it fixes the problem
