I’ve tried carpet’s solution of using the power button, but that doesn’t work on this computer.

85

same issue as well, but no othethers so far

86

I also had an issue where flatpaks didn’t load my theme.
this pretty much sums it up: KDE: Not using the correct GTK theme · Issue #1147 · flatpak/flatpak · GitHub

87

I found a solution!
My issue was font related, as described here:

The used font for the xlsx was Segoe UI.

The weird thing however is, that I have successfully converted this exact file to pdf for the past year. It only stopped working after my recent manjaro and kernel update.

Hi, I am pretty new to linux and Manjaro. It is a wonderful experience so far but today I am facing a little annoyance with Libreoffice. After the update, the dropdown menus in Libreoffice stopped working. When I hit change text colour it works, but if I open the dropdown menu to choose a different text colour, when I click on the new colour the result is that the cursor moves up in my text, as if the dropdown was closed…
Anyone else experiencing that?

[edit] Weirdly enough it register the change in colour if I double click on the chosen one, although it does not apply the colour to the selected text but only to the icon on the ribbon. It makes it usable at least, since I can then click on the icon to apply the selected colour

Solved by deleting/renaming files “ib_logfile0” and “ib_logfile1” ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/

It might be not safe, but my mail is IMAP, so nothing was lost.

I found a bug and I’m not the only one. This bug is also available in arch linux. It is a serious bug. Look this: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/pttv6h/cant_shutdownreboot_from_gdm/

There is also another problem. When I restart the system from the session. Sometimes, I’ve got a black screen and the system seems to be freezed. In this case, I must cut off the computer manually. I encounter those problems since the last updates and I made a new install of Manjaro 21.1.4 Gnome (minimal version) to do tests, and I’ve got the same problems. So, Manjaro team can you have a look on it (2 bugs), and tell me if there is a solution ?

Thanks.

Notes: I installed the last 5.14 kernel from Manjaro because I encountered problems with 5.13 kernel. I’m on Wayland session, and I’ve got the Optimus technology but I’m using optimus-manager to cut off the nvidia card with bbswitch. So, only the Intel card works. Sleep mode works via the gdm.

I think I have the same bug on start. In my case it looks like GDM dies after loading. Then only a black screen with a “_” top left. Are you able to start a wayland session from a tty? I am. In my case it looks a lot like this bug

92

After the update easyeffects is crashing randomly when receving telegram notifaction or while playing music in MPD. An issue is rose on easyeffects but the problem seems to be in Pipewire.

93

I’m experiencing some problem with GDM: i get a blank screen at boot. As a workaround i switch to TTY2 and then CTRLALT1 back to finally reach GDM screen.

This seems to happen with Kernel 5.10, not with 4.19

95

On kernel 5.14 and 5.15, the current version of iotop fails.

It is the “community” python version. I think from here Public Git Hosting - iotop.git/summary

I dont know where to put a bug report.

kernel config
CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y

Using kernel 5.14.7-2-MANJARO, or 5.15 iotop shows an error:

CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT not enabled in kernel, cannot determine SWAPIN and IO %

now showing SWAPIN column but flag is enabled.

96

I have graphical problems with the new kernels v5.14 and v5.15. May someone, please, help me with figuring the culprit? I would like to submit a bug about this regression.

97

I’m able to start a wayland session without tty. But not shutting down or restarting the system via GDM is very annoying.

I saw it: [Solved] [GDM] Can't shutdown/restart from login screen / Applications & Desktop Environments / Arch Linux Forums
@Manjaro team : Could it be an issue from consolekit and udev ?

Note: I’m feed up of regressions. :grimacing:

I had a problem with keyboard layouts (that I resolved), but that might be that I’m doing something wrong.

I have a custom keyboard layout added, and the update seems to have overridden files in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols and in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules. I had to add the keyboard layout again from scratch. It’s not a big deal, but I think it’s the second time it happened after an update.

Does anyone know how to add keyboard layouts in an update-safe way?

Go to PulseAudio Volume Control Configuration tab pavucontrol --tab=5

Check the option in the bottom left corner – Show volume meters

If the option is already enabled, try turning it off and on again

I had yesterday a very strange bug, my admin password didn’t work in Terminal and also not on KDE GUI.

I repeated that password 20 times without success and also wrote my password in a .txt file to verify there was no Keyboard issue or Capslock problem.

After a restart my Password was working again like nothing happend, im using Kernel 5.10

Next time this happens, check faillock:

There is some issue with the new librsvg-2:2.52.0-1 package.

I downgraded it to librsvg-2:2.50.7-1 and my vertex-maia icons are back.
