Also noteworthy but not manjaro’s responsability : NVIDIA drivers are not great : lots of tearing and black textures around (wine et native games alike).
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 470.86

Let’s flex
A pity arch will only accept credit-card.
But I’m broke nevertheless, so it will only be a month.
All things aside KDE and Manjaro are assuring at least an income for me (and VS Code, Docker, Vue, Spring Boot, Gitlab, a thousand NPM and Maven library-maintainers and so on).

linub · 20 November 2021 20:30

for me there was no change in behavior.
transparency worked as usual.
weird.

XFCE volume control volume meter is still effd since uberprevious update.

that I reported already here [Stable Update] 2021-09-24 - Kernels, LibreOffice, Browsers, Pipewire, RHVoice, KDE Frameworks, Mesa - #63 by deemon

Kanehekili · 20 November 2021 22:39

Having an older Nividia card , my XServer is broken. I am running V470, but currently V490 is installed. The Xorg.log shows: XServer has been shut down.
So nvidia-utils 490 have been installed, can’t downgrade it to 470 (what my mhwd wants) - so the first time in years my manjaro broke - and I haven’t got an idea how to fix it.
Could anyone give me a hint? (I’m writing this from my laptop which is Arch-Linux and not affected).
mwhd has a 470xx entry which I’d like to activate.
Xorg says: Your card is supported by the NVIDIA 470xx legacy drivers - how can I revert to them ?

nieee · 20 November 2021 22:43

Did you follow the steps in the update announcement?

Kanehekili · 20 November 2021 22:54

Yes.
mwhd -r pci video-nividia leads to:
error: faild to prepare… (could not satisfiy dependencies)::removing nvidia-utils breaks dependencies…
“nvidia-utils” required by “nvidia-system-monitor-git”

And the mwhd -i command failed as well.

Update
I’ve removed that monitor and it worked. Thanks for pointing me to the “update announcement”.

JamesT · 20 November 2021 23:06

It seems that instructions in files in /etc/modprobe.d are not being honoured any more.

I have a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist_uas.conf that contains:

options usb-storage quirks=0bc2:ab38:u

to disable the uas module for a backup drive that claims to support it but doesn’t. Formerly I got a message in dmesg that reported that that usb-storage rather than uas was being used for that device. I no longer get that message, and instead get oceans of error messages in dmesg like:

[  402.388592] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] tag#27 uas_eh_abort_handler 0 uas-tag 2 inflight: CMD OUT 
[  402.388610] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] tag#27 CDB: Write(16) 8a 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 85 00 00 00 04 00 00 00
[  402.405216] scsi host7: uas_eh_device_reset_handler start
[  402.479929] usb 9-1.1: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
[  402.503000] scsi host7: uas_eh_device_reset_handler success

and very slow access. I have reverted to kernel 5.14 to see if that solves it, as before the updates it was behaving properly with 5.14, but to no avail.

Also following a reboot after the backup with rdiff-backup had finally finished (it took about 18 hours) there were many errors that fsck had to attempt to correct (there are now around 5500 files in lost+found on that disk).

Kanehekili · 20 November 2021 23:13

Thanks for your elaborate answer. My problem was not the usb (there are no usb drivers installed in mhwd) but an update of the nvidia-utils to 490. The "default “video-nvidia” driver in mhwd rendered my GPU unusable. The trick was -in my case- to remove some obscure tool I only dimly remember I had installed and execute the commands above.

nieee · 20 November 2021 23:14

In the git repository, it is mentioned that the tool is deprecated. A link refers to: GitHub - congard/nvidia-system-monitor-qt: Task Manager for Linux for Nvidia graphics cards

Neis · 20 November 2021 23:15

Why does the stable version changed name from 21.1.6 to 21.2pre1? What does this pre means? Why does the number changed so much?

rabcor · 20 November 2021 23:15

Had an issue because of the nvidia driver update with running league of legends through lutris.

The launcher would run normally but the game itself would freeze when opening the loading screen and thus couldn’t be played.

I solved it by configuring the lutris options for the game to use the latest version of the lutris-ge-lol runner, and setting the dxvk version to manual (this was probably the bit that solved it, as it is now probably using the dxvk version I installed from AUR).

I’m not sure which of these solved the issue, but I know that the issue was related to dxvk.

I also tried to downgrade to the nvidia 470 driver, however when I did that, surprisingly, the launcher would crash when I tried to start the game instead of the game client, I don’t really know what caused that (I mean the game worked fine before I updated) but since I solved the issue on 495 I’m sticking with that for now.

(Edit: It’s actually just using wined3d instead of dxvk; there’s probably a way to get dxvk working again with it though but I haven’t figured it out yet)

(Edit2: Oh actually I just had to select manual then type in 1.9.2 (latest version of DXVK) and it uses that, and it works. if I use the default (1.9.2L) game doesn’t work, but if I manually set the version to 1.9.2 it works normally)

Yes- I didn’t even know I had installed it. My “downgrade” was quite hefty:

[2021-11-21T00:00:01+0100] [ALPM] removed linux54-nvidia (495.44-5)
[2021-11-21T00:00:07+0100] [ALPM] removed nvidia-utils (495.44-4)
[2021-11-21T00:00:07+0100] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] xorg configuration symlink valid...
[2021-11-21T00:00:07+0100] [ALPM] removed egl-wayland (1:1.1.9+2+gdaab854-1)
[2021-11-21T00:00:07+0100] [ALPM] removed eglexternalplatform (1.1-2)

and installed a zillion lib32 libs…

Solved! Sort of anyway.

My motherboard’s onboard WiFi/Bluetooth module is the Wireless-AC 3168 Bluetooth, which according to https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi, is no longer supported by the most recent version of linux-firmware.

7260, 3160, 7265, 7265D, 3165 and 3168 support
Those devices will not be supported by the newest firmware versions

So if you have any of the above named Intel WiFi/Bluetooth modules, hopefully this will save you some time searching for a solution!

I had an unconfigured / shoddy install of tigervnc, which after the update was causing X to fail on starting. I uninstalled tigervnc and its dependent xrdp packages and restarted and X worked again.

I had previously reported no issues. But I have discovered I cannot play videos. Specifically Facebook videos and .mov videos. Youtube works.

Kernel 5.15.x.
I suspend Computer manually.
When I try to resume, both of my monitors don´t show image on screen. I think they remain in suspend state.
Fortunately I still have installed kernel 5.10.x. It works ok. But I´d like to be able to use new kernel

Some feedback for the https://download.manjaro.org/kde/21.2pre1/manjaro-kde-21.2pre1-211119-linux515.iso which I used to install Manjaro on my partners PC today. (my 3rd Windows=>Manjaro conversion in the passed 3-4 weeks )

After booting the Live ISO and running the Installer, I found the Partition step is missing many options. All I had available as choices were…

A dropdown of disks to select for the install
A lone radio button option to choose to “Manually Partition the Drive”

… and that was it… No erase disk, no filesystem selection, no swap options, etc.

Luckily, the “Before and After” images presented underneath showed boot and data partitions as if “erase disk” was pre-selected, so I felt comfortable proceeding… once I stepped through to the final review screen, everything looked like what I would have wanted, including EXT4 as the data file system.

The install was successful in this case, but the missing options in the Partition section may prove to be limitations for others with different (non-EXT4, swap) setup requirements.

I had a similar issue on Gnome with a GTX 1060.

After the update my second monitor was blank, it was listed as disabled in nvidia-settings.
I also tried to downgrade the driver with: mwhd -r pci video-nividia but the command failed with a similar error to yours. mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx also failed.

In the end I just removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf AND /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf and everything is now working as it was before.
