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

how to remove Linux 5.9 kernel and how to install the new one if my system not bootable, can i install from Terminal (Alt+F2)? Thank you.

@jdcard do a pacman -Q | grep git and see which git packages you have. Remove the git suffix from those packages you want to replace and put them into a row to install them via sudo pacman -S <list of packages>.

An upstream issue that did not affect everyone has nothing to do with Manjaro. It seems you’ve already found a temporary solution.

The Pipewire packages cannot be ported from the unstable branch to the stable branch, they are not standalone.

EDIT: See:

See Manjaro Kernels - Manjaro

If you need more help, please create a new topic in the appropriate Support category.

@Buju I did a build of pipewire against stable branch. Give it a try and report back.

Pretty much a wonderful update!.. At the end of the day all is great!.. But…

  1. Pamac decided to not cooperate so well for this time. First of all, no updates showing… I refreshed the mirror lists… I updated the software databases… Eventually at the 10th tentative some mostly browser related updates showed. Applied them. No more updates… Eventually I rebooted the system and hey!.. The usual huge batch came!.. Happily applied them!.. Reboot!..

  2. After log in the system started at “recovery mode” with a strongly reduced screen brightness!.. Oh, my God!.. Cinnamon asked me if I’d like to open it or not… Said Yes… Another reboot… And well… All was well again back to normal!..

Have a nice day!..

I’ve got it as well, but it wasn’t reversed (stable branch) :grin:
But when updating the system, I get the warnings: “pamac-xxx: Local version (10.1.2-0.1) is newer than extra (10.0.6-2)”
BTW, I like the new design :+1:

Thank you for Manjaro. It is f***ing brilliant :+1:

Hi.
manjaro ornara is very good.
but gnome version in very bad experience.
Please user libreoffice in gnome version pr do not have any office.

arg I tought the Kernel 5.10.36-2 was compiled with that, but it is 5.10.37-2 Oops… :smiley:

Thanks, that seems to have resolved it. I was on the the right track, just gave up too quickly when confronted with a seeming endless chain of dependencies.

I downloaded those, selected them all in Nemo, updated them with “Software Installer” from the right-click context menu, and rebooted. Then, I checked my process list in ksysguard to make sure pulseeffects was running with my equalizer preset, tested some YouTube videos, tested recording myself and playing it back in Audacity, and tested speaker and mic input levels in Zoom, and everything seems to be working well so far. Thanks, Phil!

That all being said, since the issue happened after going idle for a while and coming back usually, I’ll continue monitoring for issues. I expect that they’re fixed though, considering my experience with the -git packages yesterday and today, and the 0.3.28 release notes. If you don’t hear back from me about an issue, it’s most likely fixed. I work from home with multiple Zoom meetings per day, so audio issues will be found soon if they exist in this 0.3.28 release.

Thx, keep me updated and if all is fine we push them to the repos. I simply can’t push things without testing them first. @Buju

What’s the easiest way to prevent installation of the new Nvidia driver when doing a system update? Or is better to just wait until a fix?

Hi, thx for this new stable update. RTX 2070 S here (DP used) + kernel 5.12. Updated in tty, no issue with the 460.80 driver.

Add the package to one of the “#IgnorePkg =” lines in your /etc/pacman.conf and remove the # at the front.

On the other computer also with manjaro LXQt, almost the same problem in the pamac update or pacman -Syyu

pamac update                                                     ✔ 
Preparando...

Will you have any problems while continuing the update?

===== Edit ======

Another user here reports the same problem

T+ = See you later

@freggel.doe what are the steps/commands to do that, as I have the same issue on my update too.
conflicting files:

  • plasma-workspace: /usr/share/locale/ta/LC_MESSAGES/kcm_autostart.mo already exists in filesystem (owned by plasma-desktop-primex)

You can add the packages to “#IgnorePkg =” lines in your /etc/pacman.conf. Also uninstall any linux5xx-nvidia or linux4xx-nvidia driver and get the dkms package from here, as we updated also the kernels, and precompiled kernel modules don’t work with the new kernels.

There was a downgrade of pamac at some point, since one of our package maintainers didn’t talked with the release team. The other things you posted are Warnings. As long as it works you can ignore them, especially dependency cycle warnings.

Continuing to update anything I will report again
