Hi,
After update I cannot access a terminal or anything that runs in a terminal. My setup is posted with my profile here so should be accessible here. Can’t post other info. No terminal!

I’m on i3wm, no NVIDIA involved, I don’t have one.

Reading the posts here it may be a locale problem but I can’t use terminal to have a look.

Any Suggestions ?

Thanks.

Here’s a link that explains how to fix situations like this:

If it’s indeed a locale-related issue the link above will guide you how to access your system and then you can edit your /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the locales you need - look for en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 as the default locale as well.

Thanks @anon88624618 . I’ll go and have a look see. :+1: :slight_smile:

Update does not work here.
I get dependency errors:

Kann Abhängigkeiten nicht erfüllen:
das Entfernen von lib32-expat verletzt Abhängigkeit ‘lib32-expat’ benötigt von lib32-fontconfig,
Entfernen Sie nach Möglichkeit lib32-fontconfig und versuchen Sie es erneut

Any hints how to resolve?

same here. But I get no prompt that would allow to skip thoase updates, so update fails with

Same problem here for my AX210 WiFi card on X230 machine.

46

Hey mates!

Here because of the nvidia driver issue.

I now don’t know if I want to upgrade. I read the nvidia forum post and I think my system might have the same problems then.

How do we know if and how this is being fixed? Will this be done in the next stable release or will Manjaro throw that in as a hotfix in between?

Is there some way I can get notified about this?

Thanks for your development on the best desktop distro! :slight_smile:

I get information about perl problems:

What is the expected resolution? I don’t think perl libs built manually are installed under /usr/lib, so these are errors in officially packaged packages?

48

thanks for the hint! I already resolved the locale failure but I posted here because it was so weird why this could happen.

49

And to mention: I never edited /etc/locale.gen manually. Nor did I set any locales by using an text-editor on this machine. All was managed by Manjaro-Settings-Manager since ever. So the issue must reside there.

50

And no. I did not edit /etc/locale.conf manually. If I would have done that myself, I would have written en_US.UTF-8 as it is correct. So again: I am posting here as it seems that Manjaro Settings Manager did something wrong in the past, that hooked up my system with the last update somehow.

Chromium does not scale properly on 3840x2160 display. All other programs are fine.

I run KDE on a 3840x2160 display with desktop scaled to 200%. Everything in Chromium is twice as big as in all other programs. I can zoom to 50% to make the content look normal, but icons and text on tabs and in bookmark bar and menus stay double sized. Using GTK+ Theme makes no difference.

I deleted ~/.config/chromium/ to get a clean profile, but that did not help.

Graphics is Radeon RX 590, and both kernels 5.10.41-1 and 5.12.8-1 have same behavior.

I’m experiencing the exact same issue here (albeit on a R7 GPU). graphical glitches on kde plasma, doesn’t seem to effect gaming or anything else.

Still having an issue doing a complete update. The sudo pacman -Syu command errors out in the following manner:

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing expat (2.4.1-1) breaks dependency 'expat=2.3.0' required by lib32-expat
:: installing libcap (2.50-1) breaks dependency 'libcap=2.49' required by lib32-libcap
:: installing libelf (0.184-1) breaks dependency 'libelf=0.183' required by lib32-libelf

I was able to run the bulk of the update by ignoring the offending packages…

pacman -Syu --ignore=libelf --ignore=libcap --ignore=expat

…and subsequently skipping elfutils when prompted:

:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      elfutils

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] y

However, I’m still unable to update the packages that are causing the error. Any guidance would be appreciated. I’d rather not have to go through the pain of purging a bunch of multilib packages.

EDIT: This issue was resolved by the June 10th Stable Update.

Putting this out here in case someone else has this “problem” too. For me, systemd-modules-load.service fails on startup. Restarting the service does nothing.
Its output:

Looking at dmesg, it has this line in a couple of places throughout the boot:

jun 08 15:54:25 cheker-pc systemd-modules-load[275]: Failed to insert module 'vboxsf': Exec format error

This supposedly is the module responsible for sharing folders between host and guest in VirtualBox. Having said this, I’m not actually noticing whatever consequence this was supposed to bring with it. Made a VBox VM to test and sharing files/folders worked fine as usual.

So I don’t know why this error is here. Everything is working A-OK.

Hi,
I managed to get uxterm to work but my normal urxvt terminal still does not work. I reports the following error

error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

A search on the forum for libperl.so only gives me one result and that’s of no help.

Any ideas, I can’t copy paste any extra info but my setup is in my profile.

Thnx.

Quite a few Perl modules lost binary compatibility with this release. Many of these were easily found from the prompt to check for packages near the end of the install, but a few that I installed from CPAN obviously didn’t.
So far I’ve found two (forks and Acme::Damn) and have been able to rebuild them from source. No doubt there will be others…

59

Thnx @beermad.
I don’t really understand much of what you said above, will I have to do the same or is it something that the Manjaro Team will fix and send out an update?
If it comes down to me having to dive in, do you know of any links that may help me go about doing the fix(es)?

60

I can’t remember the precise command to list packages that need rebuilding (they’ll all be from AUR), but pacman listed it very close to the end of its output. Running that gave me about half a dozen packages, so I just went into pamac-manager, searched for the packages listed and clicked the “build” button, which forces the computer to rebuild the package.
If you don’t already know what CPAN is, I very much doubt that you’ve installed anything from it so you shouldn’t need to worry.
