[Stable Update] 2022-01-23 - OpenSearch, Kernels, KDE Software, Cinnamon, Pipewire, Mesa, Gnome, LibreOffice

I’m experiencing crashes, lockups, and most likely memory leaks on Manjaro i3 (something is using a lot more memory).

What’s your secret?

Is VirtualBox now on version 6.1.32 ?

Not yet, but well in the testing branch. See

So far so good. Ryzen 4700U APU on HP Envy x360

after updating i didn’t have DSL ethernet connection even though it showed as connected.
a second reboot fixed it.
I’ll see what happens after a shutdown.

About pamac, make sure you enable flatpak support. KDE store (Discovery) can upgrade flatpaks too

I tried that several times with several versions of systemd installed and updating after the user creation. It just didn’t work with an mdraid RAID1 disk as the storage. I can get the storage mounted by running manually

cryptsetup open /dev/md/home home-username
mount /dev/mapper/home-username /home/username -o subvolid=username

but systemd-homed/systemd-homeworkd which ever portion was responsible for doing that kept failing.

For some reason, my system failed to import all my zfs pools after reboot (I installed Manjaro on zfs). It said “pool was previously in use from another system”. I need to use

zpool import -f POOLNAME

for all my zfs pools and then reboot again in the rootfs prompt. It seems normal now.

Thanks for the link. I guess I will switch to KRunner because it looks nicer to me.
I further investigated the problem:

This dbus command : qdbus --literal org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.activateLauncherMenu should open the “application launcher”.

But this command only works when I assign a keyboard shortcut to the “application launcher” like “Meta+#”. It also affects the “simple launcher” and “application dashboard” - (for some reason “application menu” just crashes - that’s why I don’t test it).Without an assigned keyboard shortcut, nothing happens.

journalctl --since "10 seconds ago" does not return any errors. Any further idea on how I can debug this issue?

Unfortunatly this update broke my install. Cannot boot anymore. I had the same issue that @dobedobedo mentioned. Did resolve it by booting with a live iso and importing and exporting. This is a additional issue.

I use zfs on root WITH encryption.

In this commit unlocking ZFS pools was removed :astonished:

Why?!?!

Hi all !

Unfortunately after this update Blender 3.0 keeps flashing when I try to resize the 3D View window or manipulate any objects within, to the point that makes the program unusable! The problem first appeared after the previous stable update and continues with this one… Blender 3.0 was working fine before these updates.

I run Blender on two Laptops, both with an intel i7 processor. The first one has an NVIDIA Graphics Card (with optimus technology) and uses KDE Plasma. The second one has an Integrated Intel Card only and uses MATE. On both laptops Blender has exactly the same issue mentioned above…

As much as I want to like this update, I’m very disappointed. I cannot do my work.
However, I praise the hard work and effort put in every update. A big thank you to the manjaro team.

This is the solution.

Sad that I have to set themes in “Kvantum Manager”, “Qt5ctl”, “Qt6ctl”, “Config->Apearence” and “Config->Window Manager” for Manjaro to respect my themes.

qBittorrent really jumped the shark here. Not only the tiny display font is insufferable, but, what’s actually really bad, even after selecting “quit” from the “File” pull down menu qbittorrent continues running.

I have the exact same problem. currently trying to resolve with a chroot from live iso. but your post tells me I am wasting my time :((

First time for me: “Too many errors from (mirror) muug.ca. No files updated.”

Edited mirrorlist to comment out ## muug.ca

Greetings! When I type in the search bar in Pamac, it freezes for a while. I’m using the Cinnamon edition. Please help, thanks.

Assuming you are using the pamac GUI under KDE plasma… that may be an initial side effect of the new code that works with an AUR “cache file”; depending on the speed of your internet, as I am not sure how large that file is… but I didn’t notice any search freezes/stutters over my 600Mbit/s connection.

Under slower internet connections, I suspect one could experience a freeze/delay while it downloads the AUR cache file initially, or later again when the file changes and a new copy is downloaded.

Fortunately my reboot was good too, I pulled an extract of the message from the /var/log/pacman.log

[2022-01-23T08:45:43-0600] [ALPM] upgraded grub (2.06-2 -> 2.06-4)
[2022-01-23T08:45:43-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] :: Grub does no longer support side-loading modules when secure boot is
[2022-01-23T08:45:43-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET]    enabled. Thus booting will fail, unless you have an efi executable
[2022-01-23T08:45:43-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET]    'grubx64.efi' with bundled modules.

I did however find an /etc/default/grub.pacnew afterwards, and found (via meld) one addition (green), some punctuation/rem changes, and one change I highlighted (red) related to the theme that I think was an error:


… so if you have a grub.pacnew, I’d suggest selectively migrating the changes that make sense for you.


EDIT: Actually, it looks like the grub.pacnew file was created with the previous stable update on Jan 2, 2022… so not related to this update.

$ cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep pacnew
[2022-01-02T10:32:21-0600] [ALPM] warning: /etc/default/grub installed as /etc/default/grub.pacnew

I noticed after rebooting post-update that I had kernel bluetooth errors:

$ journalctl --priority err --boot 0
Jan 23 08:47:46 AM4-5600X-Linux kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: command 0xfc01 tx timeout
Jan 23 08:47:54 AM4-5600X-Linux kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: FW download error recovery failed (-110)

Found the cause inside /var/log/pacman.log

[2022-01-23T08:45:41-0600] [ALPM] warning: /etc/bluetooth/main.conf installed as /etc/bluetooth/main.conf.pacnew

After reviewing the changes in meld, I replaced the old “main.conf” with the “main.conf.pacnew” file, rebooted, and found the bluetooth kernel errors were eliminated.

The system legs of performance after update to the new stable release. Under Wayland the system is unusable. I find these errors, but I can’t understand what’s happened
