[Stable Update] 2021-10-16 - Haskell, Python, KDE Gear, KDE Framework, Thunderbird

there is an issue with firefox and kde after the latest update. while using several opened windows/instances of firefox it appears that frequently one window gets transparent and does not respond anymore. i can close all other instances but this one will stay on, its not shown up if i search with ‘ps -ax | grep fire*’ in the console, so i get no pid to kill it.

Everything went smoothly, but somethings happened to SSL certificates, and now filezilla won’t connect to any servers.
Error: Failed to extract certificate trust path
I tried some linux guides but I need manjaro specific…any help please?

I have no experience with this, but I did find this online - https://www.tenforums.com/antivirus-firewalls-system-security/101389-sgx-setting-choose-bios.html

Maybe the new kernel is just reporting this feature’s (SGX) status now. Just a guess on my part.

I’m seeing issues connecting to my phone with KDE Connect since the update. My phone will be online but not recognize that my computer is and my computer says my phone isn’t online.

  • Your computer and phone must be in the same location network (IP range).
  • Try to disable KDE firewall.

The articel shows thats a feature from CPU’s above kabylake, but i have skylake.

The message you’re getting, SGX disabled by BIOS, indicates SGX is supported on your system. Is this condition causing a problem or are you just curious about the message ?

I’m just curious about it. I just want to know if this could lead to a security problem.

Hm, why your favorite search engine fails to show you that on whole Internet?
Consider try a better than yours: kernel x86 cpu SGX disabled by BIOS at DuckDuckGo shows the Kernel reports 2 intel module error messages on every boot / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums as first item. Or that was not enough?

I had a scary Nvidia GPU issue on my system since updating, I think I should share it here.

This seems to be a genuine KDE problem.

Another bug concerning ghost windows has been recently fixed.

Other Manjaro users mention possible workarounds for a similar behavior here

that something crashes is always possible, but i’m concerned because even a crashed instance should have a pid and there is no if i search vor with ‘ps -ax’. that’s a serious problem in my mind. every instance should have a pid nevertheless if it’s working or stuck.

Not sure, how you define ‘crash’. For me, if an app crashes, it aborts and stops. In that case, there is no process anymore and hence no pid. There still might be some graphical remnants displayed on the screen/desktop, but this is only due to a bug in the window manager and does not imply, that the app, or parts of it are still running.
There are other situations where an app encounters a (serious) error, which is somehow handled by the app. In that case the app is still running, i.e. it’s NOT crashed. It might, however, be unresponsive, but you will be able to find a pid for it.

If set “Icon View” in System Settings, then there are two “Global Theme” in Appearance:

winnie you are so advanced and you are not in the unstable branch? unstable got 5.23.1 a long time ago.

Could be some 5.22-specific issue though… Let me check

UPD: I can confirm this as well. Not sure if it’s our or KDE bug…

@LordTermor post your Info Centre info please also
