[Stable Update] 2021-12-16 - Kernels, KDE Gear 21.12.0, Gnome Extensions, LibreOffice

[aluedtke]

Just a minor issue with Gnome extension Dash to Dock:
When I switch off the button “Angepasstes Thema dieser Erweiterung nutzen”, all icons in the dock are gone. The dock is empty no matter what options I set in the area below that button.

I am still experiecing this problem with the screen set to blank out but after attempting to wake up the screen, I just get a blank screen until I type my password and the login prompt appears so I have to login again.

I changed light-locker to dm-tool to unlock it and I still encounter the same issue with this update. I think its similar to this:

No Login Screen (XFCE lock screen) on resume after long period

Running 5.12.1-2 Got a new pc and monitor. After I leave things overnight or for an extended period, the login screen does not show up. Had a pain using the display port where nothing showed up, and had to power cycle. Using hdmi I was able to ctl+alt+f2 and get a virtual terminal tty2. Hitting F7 gave the the Your session is locked message, but does not provide the login screen just goes blank. Entering the password into the blank screen unlocks. This is the same symptoms as And same …

After the update I have a degraded stability of the system. Sound stops a few minutes after system launch. Sound menu shows no sound input or output devices. Apps that related to sound hang. Firefox randomly hangs.

This is little info to offer any help, could you make a new post in Support , keeping in mind these two post below on how to provide system information and increase the chances to solve the issue you are experiencing.

If the info in your profile is still correct please upgrade to a supported version of the kernel, 5.9 is no longer maintained.

[HowTo] Provide System Information

This tutorial is superseded by this one. Remember all Tutorials are wiki posts that can be edited by TL2 (Trust Level 2) members and above. Welcome to Manjaro! To allow all of us helpful people on this forum TO HELP YOU, we need some basic information about your system. This probably means you described the symptoms of your problem, but now we need some more information to know where the origin of your issue is exactly. Someone else probably linked you to…

[HowTo] Request support

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Strong of its many members, the Manjaro support forum can provide you help whenever you have an issue with your Manjaro installation. But in order to work efficiently, we shall also ask you to follow three major points. Provide context Simply signaling an issue is rarely enough to understand how it occurred. It is thus important to provide details on how it happened: Detail prior actions leading to the issue. List solutions and guides you already tried, with links when…

Bluetooth has stopped working on Manjaro Gnome after this update. Running on a ThinkPad T14s Intel model. The Gnome Bluetooth settings panel shows Bluetooth as being turned off and I’m unable to move the toggle switch in the settings panel to the “on” position.

UPDATE:

I was able to (partially) resolve the issue. It is, perhaps, related to this issue reported as an upstream bug on the Ubuntu ticketing system. At any rate, the kludge discussed by this commenter there worked for me: Rebooting the laptop while plugged into power, opening the Gnome Bluetooth settings panel, disconnecting the power, and then toggling on Bluetooth in the settings panel. This is obviously not ideal, especially if the issue recurs, so I look forward to some kind of better resolution down the line.

@thewhat Possibly a more permanent fix: it looks as though my default application for html/text files somehow ended up as winebrowser. Definitely not a choice I made so I’m not sure how it got set that way, but System Settings > Applications > text > html and then move winebrowser below Firefox or your default browser of choice.

rowser of choic

yeah i remove it from there. i think its a problem happend in env paths bcz i already installed wine

[aluedtke]

Update to my own post:
the problem is the option Enable Unity7 like glossy backlit items under Customize windows counter indicators. When this option is set to on, the items in the dash have a glossy background. But when the extension is switched off and on again, the items in the dock are gone.

I verified it with another laptop that was not updated yet: this behaviour has not changed in the last update!

Sorry for any inconvenience

Problems in computers with opensource video drivers are solved like so:
sudo pacman -Rd --nodep gdm
sudo pacman -S gdm
With proprietary drivers, I have not found a solution ???

Thank you for the great work! Can you please add a status flag to each issue? It may help users to know if any particular issue concerned is resolved.

After the update, optimus-manager (v 1.4-2 from official repository) completely stop working.

Error loading config file : Cannot find header for section [optimus]

I install the aur version (v 1.4-3) and it’s solves the problem.

yay -Sa optimus-manager

(Don’t forget the “a” or yay will install the old v 1.4-2 from official repository,
and I think it was python 3.9 to python 3.10 who break optimus manager.)

Otherwise everything else work fine. Thanks for all the updates !

[Yochanan]

Fix coming with 1.4-3 soon.

I had this warning:

Warning: Could not load "/usr/lib/graphviz/libgvplugin_gtk.so.6" - It was found, so perhaps one of its dependents was not.  Try ldd.

ldd /usr/lib/graphviz/libgvplugin_gdk.so.6 said that libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 was missing.
pamac search libgdk-x11 said it belongs in package gtk2.

I have no recollection of removing gtk2, but maybe it was removed as an orphan at some time.
Nevermind, pamac install gtk2 fixed he problem.

Thank you for the comments. I’ll keep it in mind next time. It seems like it works after I re-installed pulse.

Hello Yochanan,

I updated to 1.4-3, but I still got the error on optimus-manager.

My package is from official repository:

Is it necessary reinstall package??

Thanks for your help.

After this update I cannot longer launch my application by hitting Super+1,Super+2,… Any suggestions how to fix it? It breaks my whole workflow.

[chickengod]

My screen flashes consistently with Finished TLP startup/shutdown but never boots to the login screen before my XFCE desktop.

Unsure if this is caused by optimus-manager since I have it configured to use the GTX 1650 GPU automatically.

SOLVED: rebuilt optimus-manager from AUR

[Davidoc26]

After I updated, now after suspend, the system does not recover, instead a black screen, it seems to me this is due to the fact that I have a fermi video card (390xx driver)
