[Stable Update] 2021-11-19 - Kernels, Gnome 41.1, Plasma 5.23.3, Frameworks 5.88, LxQt 1.0, Xorg-Server 21.1, Mesa

On xfce
I got asked to replace xdg-desktop-portal-gtk by xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.
Any ideas why?
I declined - no issues so far.

hypnotix / kodi wasn’t able to start. The reason is that after updating the package “python-text-unidecode” is missing. you can install it with pamac and afterwards it will work.

I noticed 2 issues :

First, as mentionned by @anemr, if you have an old laptop, with an old nvidia discrete GPU and you are using Bumblebee, the workaround put in place for making the 390 driver work with this update won’t work out of the box, because it’s placed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d instead of /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d/.

The following command and a reboot seems to be working ( + maybe check with systemctl if bumblebeed is working ok)

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-nvidia-ignoreabi.conf /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.d/

The second issue is strange, some custom icons in Gnome app drawer and in the doc (and probably in other places too …) have disappeared for several themes, including papirus and papirus maia … Adwaita is working fine though

Thanks for the update, and, as a manjaro user stuck with an old nvidia GPU, thanks for the effort of supporting our old graphic cards as long as possible.

The good news for me is that I put the 5.15x kernel I installed last night into suspend mode before retiring for bed. Resumed from sleep this morning without issue. I may have to keep this one!!! I am running the Nourveau driver, btw. Not Nvidia.

Running the new nvidia properitary drivers with x11

after suspending and waking it up again, svg images get corrupted.

for e.g.

I’m using kiwix which depends on libzim. There was a conflict between libzim 7.x.y and libzim6, here is the solution from @maycne.sonahoz

good morning to all the community, “hypnotix” does not work, from the terminal throws the following error…(I don’t know if it is already communicated)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/hypnotix/hypnotix.py", line 30, in <module>
    from unidecode import unidecode
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'unidecode'


@Yochanan Please add python-unidecode as dependency for hypnotix.

thank you very much maycne.sonahoz, it worked perfect.
greetings and have a happy day

Anything touch MHWD (terminal or System Settings) instantly freezes while rest of system remains intact.

Shutdown and reboot to LTS kernel: no problem at all with MHWD.

Researching command line solution to rollback NVidia proprietary or switch to open source driver.

I already did. :wink:

why did not use kernel 5.15.4 ?

is just the same kernel with some bug fix

i think a good idea to add it to kernel manager kernel manager versions

Because Manjaro - Fresh & Stable and Manjaro - Branch Compare

Booted into a black screen, I checked this release page and figured it was due to the drop of Keppler support (I’m running GTX 760).

I hit Ctrl+Alt+F4 to get into tty, and tried to run the mhwd, but had some dependency issues, I had to remove few programs:

sudo pacman -R nvtop
sudo pacman -R cuda

Then I could do

sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx

Right after installation it threw me into my KDE environment without having to reset, so everything works correctly now. Thanks to the team for the problem solutions!

A post was split to a new topic: Installing updates breaks dependency

Responding to Gene post 183. You can change the display manager to SDDM to work around the infinite login loop.

I often boot into black screen, any solution for AMD iGPU system? Thanks in advance for any reply

Since this update, I am seeing a spurious error (multiple times) during shutdown or reboot:

usb usb2-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

In fact, all usb ports are in use and are working, but I thought you’d want to know. My inxi:

This only seems to be happening when I boot from my SD card (mounted on USB).

Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion. However followed the SDDM install instructions (all three steps), rebooted and - exactly the same problem. If I try and log in as the i3 or xfce user it again immediately logs me back out to the SDDM login screen.

Would very much appreciate any more help. As I mentioned in original post, some various logs that might be relevant:

inxi output: http://sprunge.us/CVXoPY

My /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log can be viewed at: http://sprunge.us/ns5oUV

My /var/log/Xorg.0.log can be viewed at: http://sprunge.us/jjgApS

A ~/.xsession-errors file is created (from the unsuccessful log in I believe), which can be viewed at: http://sprunge.us/6rBGaF

Running coredumpctl also brings up a number of errors with /usr/lib/Xorg, /usr/bin/xfce4-power-manager and /usr/bin/python3.9 as shown at: http://sprunge.us/QeyMCi

Very grateful for any help.

All my GNOME extensions have been turned off, and turning them on again fails. Moreover, I was on X11, and now I’m on Wayland :flushed:

EDIT: Opening the “Extensions” app (that I just found existed - used my browser to manage them before) I found a switch to enable/disable extensions altogether, which brought them all back!
