[Stable Update] 2021-05-19 - Kernels, Nvidia, KDE Frameworks, Plasma, Systemd, LibreOffice, KDE Gear Mobile, FF, TB

Thanks. Rebuilt compiz-easy-patch and it still isn’t starting.

I’ve just run the update and got the same message, I’m going to choose not to upgrade virtualbox-guest-utils-nox or perhaps virtualbox altogether at this time and see if I can find another solution.

Have you had any luck resolving this issue yet? If so, would you care to share please.

Thanks in advance

Update : So I had to remove virtualbox and its dependencies, reboot the computer - then I could run this update without any problems. Have re-installed virtualbox but wont test it until tomorrow.

Mine was 1080 display port on a 1060 6gb, produced a no-boot situation, not a black screen situation

If you note, the warning states, DP and/or high res

Had to rescue with liveUSB and chroot

I rebooted it, and sddm failed to load its theme. After I logged in, it brought me to a black screen only with a mouse cursor.

EDIT: I re-installed KDE Plasma and it still remained the same.

EDIT 2: I removed all the git packages and installed non-git alternatives. Now it’s finally working.

alright yeah, I suspected as much. thanks for letting me know, looks like I’ll be avoiding this update for the time being.

Xfce, Kernel 4.14.

I just want to say that I’m using Pamac 10.1.2-2 (installed from testing branch) and despite this minor bug (Title bar buttons are not fully visible. (#1037) · Issues · Applications / pamac · GitLab) works flawlessly:

Pamac's new look - #197 by D.Dave

That’s easy - to rewind a backup, if it’s broken you can restore your backup. Everyone keeps a backup of system/config files, don’t they?

Snap - sticky this one!!! Brings back the feeling I had using PPA’s back with Linux Mint - inviting the broken system.

I’m using pipewire and, after this update, my sound doesn’t work when I resume from suspend. Is anyone else experiencing this?

So, I’m probably a prime candidate for this nvidia issue. DP and 4K monitors
Before I upgrade, do you recommend just ignoring the nvidia packages, to be on the safe side? Will that side step the issue?

So these are the nvidia packages I see that it wants to upgrade. I can add them to the “ignore upgrades for” list:
nvidia-utils
mhwd-nvidia
lib32-nvidia-utils
and the various kernel ones like linux512-nvidia

Am I missing one? Can someone confirm? The main one I’m iffy about is the kernel ones like linux512-nvidia.

I had to downgrade linux512, linux512-nvidia, nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils to get my desktop back to working order. Those 3 should be enough.

EDIT: Forgot to add the 32bit utils, otherwise Steam wouldn’t start.

Hey, thanks for the response. No, I have not applied the update yet as I am worried about the Virtualbox being broken after the update. So, I will also try to avoid updating Virtualbox at the moment.

I will share if anything comes up. :beers:

No problems with the NVIDIA-Update 460.08.
I´m running with a GTX1080Ti, 4K-Resolution, Displayport.

Update:

Uninstalled these packages -

 virtualbox-guest-iso 6.1.22-1
 virtualbox-guest-utils 6.1.22-2

Pamac then went ahead.

Strange issue this morning : at startup, my dual screen didn’t work, second HDMI screen not even appearing.
I checked the drivers : Bumblebee was installed and active, free dirvers wera not installed.

This was the opposite of my setup for years…

I had to remove bumblebee and to install the open source drivers !

What puzzles me is that I did a shutdown and fresh start after yesterday’s update and dual screen was ok.

How comes my usual setup was inverted, is it linked to yesterdays update ?

You can try to ignore it? Like in this post: [Stable Update] 2021-05-19 - Kernels, Nvidia, KDE Frameworks, Plasma, Systemd, LibreOffice, KDE Gear Mobile, FF, TB - #96 by Yoshanuikabundi

There are some problems on my end with with the new 460.80 Nvidia drivers.

From journalctl:

NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 460.80, but
       NVRM: this kernel module has the version 460.73.01.Please
       NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
       NVRM: components have the same version.

Currently running on kernel 5.10.34-1-MANJARO on a machine with a MX150 & intel integrated graphics.

After this update, my CPU is refusing to run at over 1GHz regardless of governor (it’s an i7-7700HQ). Powersave, performance, schedutil (yes, I don’t use intel_pstate, but acpi-cpufreq instead) all the same. Previously, switching to either performance or schedutil will immediately boost to 3.4GHz or so all cores.

EDIT:
Running cpufreq-bench somehow opens it, the frequency is now maintained at >3GHz on my current load and the system is much snappier. Really weird… I’m afraid the effect won’t survive a reboot, though.

It seems like for me i had to install virtualbox-guest-utils thru pacman which in turn asked me to remove virtualbox-guest-dkms because there was a conflict, after I did so pamac went ahead and updated.
