Kernel 5.13 works very well but 5.14 give me only dummy output on sound (no soundcard were recognized) and if i want to restart the machine it takes a long time with error messages (systemd-shutdown SIGTERM/SIGKILL to PID… waiting for process pulseaudio). Tried deleting config and cookies from pulse, but doesn’t working

I had a small issue where dnscrypt-proxy was not working upon reboot. I had to remove my old dnscrypt-proxy.toml file and edit my dnscrypt-proxy.toml.pacnew file accordingly and remove the .pacnew suffix.

Please read this:

[HowTo] become a Manjaro power user when you're a wizard at Windows but a N00b at Manjaro / Linux

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ Remember when you installed your very first Windows, added bells and whistles and then couldn’t see the wood for the trees any more and had to re-install? Well, you’re in the same situation now: You’re a N00b again! Embrace it! I know right now you’re thinking:

Why is this so much more difficult than Windows?

[image]

Whereas in 6 months time, you’ll be like:

Why can't I make Windows jump through fiery hoops like I do with Linux???

<a class="lightbox&qu…

Especially the Linux has multiple kernels section and then install an LTS kernel.

[Strit]

Maybe the server version is too old now?

[Daniel-I]

Found the forum thread that explained the key-ring “issue” I reported…

Update: Error while configuring manjaro-keyring

I simply don’t get why people try to fix something which is not broken. The thing is: A maintainer decided to leave the team and also decided to revoke his key on the keyservers That same key is still part of our keyring without any ending of validation as we still have some packages from that person So not updating the keys from keyservers makes your system still work What we did so far from our end: All the signatures from that Maintainer got replaced by a generic one from our build-server.…

You might want to check the owncloud client change log. Perhaps they made a change from 2.8 to 2.9 that is no longer compatible with your owncloud config.

“Bugfix - Removed support for client side certificates”
“Change - Don’t ask the user to switch to http”
“Change - Remove support for http redirects”
“Change - We no longer try to locate an ownCloud install at /owncloud”

Having that same issue with the keyring, no suggested solution for keyring issues helped with it.

I mean idk if it matters or not, since I’m not seeing any side effects from those errors, but since they are errors and not just warnings it’s a little alarming

[kI3RO]

I have an issue, suddenly firefox vaapi doesn’t work.

I’ve checked the whole config as per Firefox - ArchWiki
and I have changed nothing, but now it doesn’t work.

The following fix will remove all Firefox settings and profiles so everything will be rested to default!

Removing

~/.mozilla
~/.cache/mozilla
~/.pulse

will fix it though…

During and after upgrade, i got an issue with archlinux keyring and manjaro keyring. Then after reboot i got an " attempt to read or write outside of disk ‘hd0’ ". I had to shutdown my oldie laptop with it’s on/off button, after that in grub options i select initramfs and that’s how i’m writing here. I don’t know what could happen and less if it have a solution. The first thing i tried before writing here in the forum was to prove if the system was update, and for my own disgrace it was.

I can’t speak for others, but on my end in Germany I often get the update before even a post in this forum was made (at least based on the RSS Feed for the stable announcements). But today I still don’t have the update on my PC.

The server is maintained by the university I work for and the version of the ownCloud-client is used on windows and mac for some time already, I guess, and I do not know of anyone else having any problems. So I doubt, that the server version is too old, though I cannot rule that out for sure.

Ok, thanks, I will look further into that, when I am back at work. Though I thought, if I uninstall the app and re-install it, also the config should get renewed. Also I would suspect this issue shows up for colleagues on Windows and Mac when they had the switch to 2.9.

Did you have a look above at " Known issues and solutions"?. That might sort it out.
