When I open Steam, I see that it works fine.

But I got the error from journalctl -p 3 -b while starting Steam using amdvlk for AMD Radeon GPU.

It seams amdvlk 2021.Q4.3-1 is incompatible with the file $HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/vulkandriverquery from Steam.

  1. Solution:
    Downgrade to amdvlk 2021.Q4.2-1. This error is gone.

  2. Solution: (Recommend)
    Uninstall amdvlk and lib32-amdvlk, because vulkan-radeon already exists.

PS: I noticed that vulkan-radeon has better performance and is smoother than amdvlk when playing Game!


Edit:// amdvlk was fixed today:

I left my current grub configuration and removed the pacnew no boot problems or other…

A post was split to a new topic: Nethack: cannot write scoreboard file ‘record’

I have following error when upgrading manjaro sway

greetd-tuigreet-0.7.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst failed to download
error: failed retrieving file 'greetd-tuigreet-0.7.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from packages.manjaro-sway.download : Maximum file size exceeded

Previous Xorg-Server upgrade made everything huge (or at least kde plasma) because of a regression.
I didn’t want to do the -dpi 96 in /etc/sddm.conf trick that was mentioned everywhere, but wait for the next upgrade instead.
Xorg 21.1.2 is supposed to fix this but after upgrade and reboot I still see kde plasma huge. Do I have to do something?

Just in case it is relevant, this was on a fresh OS install so I didn’t have a working xorg and then an upgrade made it huge, but instead the fresh install was already huge, but still I was hoping the upgrade would fix it automatically.

Edit: I solved the problem, it had nothing to do with the Xorg’s regression. I explain it here [Solved] Fix of Xorg regression not working

I am not sure but you might want to set it in Appearance - Fonts instead of SDDM.

@jpalko Thank you for your help in the previous topic.

Apparently it was not a smart idea of me to remove an old video-nvidia-3xx driver and use the generic(?) video-nvidia driver and update the system afterwards rightaway.

After reboot my cpu governor was in powersave state. But i could be fixed with cpupower.

Everything else works fine so far.

About python packages, do I also need to reinstall --user installed packages as well?

If you’re experiencing boot issues with optimus-manager 1.4-3, uninstall it and use optimus-manager-git 1.4.1 from the AUR instead.

Happy New Year :tada: :confetti_ball:, and thank you for another smooth update! Only thing “odd” I noticed was a downgrade to manjaro-hello.

I have questions about the Python 3.10 upgrade and “leftovers” I found in ~/.local/lib/python3.9 and /usr/lib/python3.9 I’ve asked @ Python 3.9 to 3.10 validation and cleanup


EDIT: I did notice I had a bluetooth “issue” in journalctl after the update reboot:

$ journalctl --priority err --boot 0
Jan 02 10:34:30 AM4-5600X-Linux bluetoothd[791]: Failed to set mode: Blocked through rfkill (0x12)

Now, this might have been because I had bluetooth “disabled” in the KDE plasma panel… but I performed the following commands just to be sure:

  • $ sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth
  • $ sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

A post was split to a new topic: Conflicting files during latest stable update

This does not give all Python packages from AUR only, it gives all Python packages from AUR and from the repos.
Wouldn’t it better to do this instead ?

pacman -Qm $(pacman -Qqo /usr/lib/python3.9)

If run after the update (which you should do before rebuilding) then it wont return any repo packages.

Had to remove Green With Envy and reinstall so it reinstalled its dependencies properly, but other than that went smoothly. Only 1 thing to upgrade to Python 3.10 - patool

Problem in KiCad 6. Switching language doesn’t work.

Error
Unable to switch language to Deutsch
The KiCad language file for this language is not installed.

Perhaps there are some ‘kicad-locale’ packages missing? :grin:

Can’t find KiCad in Manjaro-gitlab but at CMakeList.txt from KiCad-gitlab building “translation libraries” is set “OFF” at the moment.

option( KICAD_BUILD_I18N
“Build the translation libraries.”
OFF )

Yes, the thing is that it shouldn’t be necessary. This happened because of a regression and this update should fix this, but for some reason it doesn’t in my case, so I’m wondering why

I have python 3.9.9 . you said the python updated to version 3.10

Pamac freezed at the beginning of the update.
I have used

sudo pacman -Syu

And all was OK.
