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

Seems to be a recurring issue with 5.15. A lot of Intel TigerLake users (including myself) are experiencing the same thing across distros so it’s not Manjaro specific.

5.14 works without issue however so I downgraded to that for the time being.

A post was split to a new topic: Cannot log in, no screens found after 2021-11-19 Stable Update

didn’t they fix kernel problem in 5.15.3 ?

maybe I should update to 5.16 to fix my problem

Pleas have a look at /lib/modules/xxx lost after update - #87 by andreas85 and compare notes

Thanks, mate! You are my saviour. I hate upgrading to a black screen and sit around for hours with my phone. Only 20 minutes today thanks to you.

Update seems to have broken my KDE Plasma themes. No custom themes installed on my system, just stock themes that came by default. I use Breeze Twilight. The scrollbars are weird as hell, not sure if this is by design or just buggy. Strange artifacts in kickoff menu and application menu. The taskbar won’t change color, even when set to default Breeze, which should make it white. I have an NVIDIA GPU and I’m using X11, not sure if that makes a difference. For now I’m reverting back with Timeshift until things get fixed.

/bin/zensu script has a syntax error at line 11

elif [ -e /usr/bin/zenity ] then;

needs to be this

elif [ -e /usr/bin/zenity ]; then

The bug that I reported this summer when the nvidia-drivers where changed from 465 to 470, where on some msi-mother boards the driver could not detect a nvidia graphics card has reemerged in version 495. Currently I’m running on the nouvou driver, which is in sufficient for my needs but enough to report this problem. I have a Geforce 1070 and a MSI X370 SLI Plus motherboard, and I once again find the following error in the journal:

kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:23:00.0: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0x56:1479)

The manual page that is referenced in the error message is completely meaning less has nothing to do with the actual problem.

The fact that updating graphics drivers often leads to these kinds of problems indicate a strong need for a simple way to downgrade them. Currently the only way is to force pacman to install older versions, assuming that you have access to the correct packages, and then hope that not something else breaks. I will try over the weak end to downgrade to the previous version of the driver, and of course older versions of the kernel so that I can use my computer to its full potential.

After updating, the search function on the Plasma Application Launcher stopped working.
Turns out this is is a regression in Plasma 5.23 with multiple monitors
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443131

Workaround is to remove the launcher from one of the desktops

Hi to all the fantastic maintainers of arch and manjaro!

Owning a nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and use KDE.

Was on kernel 5.12.19-1 before upgrade.

Pamac refused to upgrade. So I tried with sudo pacman -Syyu which resulted in:

Installation of nvidia-utils (495.44-4) breaks dependency »nvidia-utils=470.63.01« required by nvidia linux512-nvidia

Steps to resolve this were:

  • sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia
  • Installed kernel 5.15.2-2 via the kernel-GUI of manjaro.
  • Restarted into kernel 5.15.2-2 the second option of the grub menu
  • sudo pacman -Syyu (this time the upgrade worked)
  • Uninstalled 5.12.19-1 via the kernel-GUI
  • sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx (didn’t show me no progress, but after 10mins it finished successfully)

First time starting Plasma after this I got a crash.
Second and third time everything went smooth.
MPV/Streamlink, Youtube, Steam OpenGL/Vulkan and Plasma itself are running great now with Kernel 5.15.2-2 and nVidia driver 470.86. Felt even more performant in the few games on Steam, that I’ve tried.
Initial RAM usage of Plasma is down by a wooping 100MB.

I’d like to donate, but I’m only able to do via PayPal.
I did not find that possiblity.
Is that correct?

Some problems I’m facing:

  1. It broke all my scaling options (some texts are either too small or too big)
  2. Some preferences(like zsh configs or showing battery percentages) are set to default
  3. The new Kickoff menu is super UGLY!!! (I know it’s on kde but just wanted to mention​:smiley::smiley:)

My main issue is scaling. Everything was right before update but now everything looks super small and compact

After update everything worked fine I rebooted the system and now I have a error on screen. Grub says I need to load the kernel first. I have both 5.10 & 5.4 lts kernels. I am not able to boot with both kernels. I don’t know how to solve this I have a manjaro live usb. I looked at this post https://forum.manjaro.org/t/error-file-boot-vmlin… it doesn’t solve it for me.

I finally managed to test the new ISOs and update the first and second post of this thread. If there are new issues we didn’t catch on our end, please open new posts in our support section!

Problems with prime-run on Nvidia Optimus notebook with the newest kernel version 5.15.2-2

prime-run Minetest 5.4.1 does not start
prime-run steam starts, but can not create a display window. The steam process remains running in the background. So I had to kill it manually with the kill command.

Without prime-run minetest and steam start normally.

If I am not wrong, you can discover what package have the file libffi.so=8-64 with:

pacman -Qo libffi.so=8-64

… and then install the package.

[Edit]: in response to a request for console output, I reinstalled the latest android-tools, rebooted and… everything’s working as it should. So it seems this post is irrelevant, unless it starts breaking again later.

How long nvidia property driver 470 series will be supported ?

You might have an outdated mirror. Seems @Yochanan pushed Thunderbird earlier to stable branch, without checking on libffi 3.4.2-4 presence. Therefore wait till your mirror updates or change to a more current one using pacman-mirrors tool.

I seem to have a Virtual box conflict, and as a result it fails to update. I tried both “pamac update” and sudo pacman -Syuu", but both failed.

vb update
vb conflict
