First update, since the nvidia 470 drivers came out, where I had to walk through the steps to enable Wayland again. /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules was the culprit.

For anyone else looking for the steps after this update:

[HowTo] Use Wayland with proprietary NVIDIA drivers

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆ Wayland does not play well with proprietary drivers. Currently the biggest issue is that NVIDIA does currently not support Xwayland properly, so apps that require it get software rendering. This includes most games, which are the most common use case for proprietary NVIDIA drivers. This is why GNOME automatically disables Wayland if you have NVIDIA. However, if this does not deter you, you can use Wayland with NVIDIA drivers. Here is how to do it: If not using G…

Can someone please have a look at the issue with xorg-server 1.20.13-3?

[patch] add some Debian patches (e3966f2b) · Commits · Packages / Extra /...

These Debian upstream packages are no good.

" Use intel ddx only on pre-gen4 hw, newer ones will fall back to modesetting"

What and why? I have gen8 hardware nd now falls back to modesetting. With modesetting I have screentearing and all the bad stuff.

Besides of that: this is a breaking change for many users. The modesetting driver uses different screen-display names. eDP1 becomes eDP-1 and so on. Breaks my whole xrandr seat setup, my i3 config, my lightdm config and so many other places where these identifiers are used.

I know there is a discussion going on. Big distributions drop xf86-video-intel because that driver sees to be unmaintained and in bad state of quality.

It is probably time to ditch xf86-video-intel • /r/archlinux

Switching to linux kernel 5.14.0-0 broke my graphics completely: it became a kaleidoscope. Couldn’t see anything, just colourful lines everywhere on my Dell XPS 9575 2-in-1. Had to switch back to 5.13.13.

How do I turn on logging when booting with this faulty kernel? To whom do I send it?

[Cytomax]

I have this same problem
And some games are not working anymore such as Company of Heroes 2
other games like Over Cooked 2 are working
this is happneing on both 5.13 and 5.14 kernel…
prior to the update running 5.13 it was running flawlessly

[r.purdom]

Arghh… I just performed my weekly system update. Running 5.10 LTS kernel and QEMU OpenGL is broken – cannot start any of my VM’s from VMM. I’m also getting “hanging” when copying a large file – Konsole stops responding for minutes at a time.

I had the black screen issue with Steam last night as well, I fixed it by using pamac to install steam-native

sudo pamac install steam-native

[dobedobedo]

It was mentioned here:

@philm

Steam only displays a black screen in place of WebView elements such as the store & library panels. The issue is caused by an update to freetype2, so the easiest way to solve the problem is to opt into the Steam beta client
Downgrading the freetype2 to version 2.10.4 would be a bad idea with something as important as freetype2 as other packages may break.

I just did the update with GUI.
I now have a screen (main monitor on my left) where all of my apps and the launcher is, that is unresponsive.

I can see it, desktop icons, my panel at the bottom, (though it is all rearranged in icons and layout.) and I can even drag this browser window from the right monitor over to the left and interact in the browser on the left while it is there, but Nothing else is selectable, or usable on the left.

The renders me unable to do much.

Any suggestions?

Thanx!

[update]

And finding now that nothing on the right monitor is usable EXCEPT for the open browser, in which I am automatically set to open to this page.

So… new diagnostic is that the ONLY mouse GUI interaction I have now is within the google-chrome-stable browser.

I almost never have an upgrade issue.

After updating through GUI and hitting this issue, I tried the terminal with pacman -Syyu.
Ended with Nothing to do.

[Zeddock]

Manjaro is so stable… even through updates, that I can’t remember how to get more information on the problem, because it has been so long!

Hi,

I am having trouble with audio since update of Aug 27. I have deleted my pulseaudio config tpl files as indicated in known issues thread and rebooted, but upon reboot my integrated speaker is detected as headphones. microphone also doesn’t work in chromium anymore.

inxi output

Audio:
Device-1: Intel Cannon Lake PCH cAVS driver: snd_hda_intel
Device-2: NVIDIA GP107GL High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.13.12-1-MANJARO running: yes
Sound Server-2: PipeWire v: 0.3.33 running: yes

Sound works flawlessly on 5.12 and i believe on previous 5.13 version, too Hi, I am having trouble with audio since the update. I have deleted my pulseaudio config tpl files and rebooted, but upon reboot my integrated speaker is detected as headphones.

KDE is my desktop

[nikgnomic]

System data shows no PulseAudio, only Pipewire. Deleting PulseAudio files will not help with Pipewire

I suggest you start a new topic in the sound category and add the Pipewire tag
And post a through description of the audio issues
with system data inxi -Fazy and any Pipewire diagnostic data

Hey! Just wanted to chime in that I was able to work around the missing keys issue by simply issuing
sudo pacman -Syvv manjaro-keyring and didn’t have to rm anything.

And, as noted in the other thread, fixing Steam is easy by opening it, going to settings->account->beta participation, and clicking “steam beta update”.

[XanderThunder]

True, never had any serious problems aswell! It’s just awesome, I love Manjaro!!

Have to disconnect audio plug and reconnect after boot each and every time for sound to work.
