[Stable Update] 2022-02-05 - Kernels, LibreOffice, KDE Gear, Nvidia, Calamares, VirtualBox, Pipewire, Mesa, Systemd

[D.Dave]

I can’t performs the update, I got:

Resolving dependencies...
Warning: cannot resolve "libx264.so=164-64", a dependency of "ffmpeg4.4"
Warning: cannot resolve "ffmpeg4.4", a dependency of "hedgewars"
Error: Failed to prepare transaction:
could not satisfy dependencies:
- unable to satisfy dependency 'libx264.so=164-64' required by ffmpeg4.4
- unable to satisfy dependency 'ffmpeg4.4' required by hedgewars

I’ll have to temporary remove ffmpeg4.4 and hedgewars?

EDIT:

By removing hedgewars the update went fine, however, if I attempt to reinstall it, I got the same dependencies errors; furthermore, I also had this long list of leftovers:

haskell-entropy
haskell-hslogger
haskell-random
haskell-regex-tdfa
haskell-sandi
haskell-sha
haskell-utf8-string
physfs
sdl2_net
haskell-conduit
haskell-network-bsd
haskell-old-locale
haskell-regex-base
haskell-splitmix
haskell-mono-traversable
haskell-network
haskell-resourcet
haskell-split
haskell-unliftio-core
haskell-unordered-containers
haskell-vector-algorithms
haskell-hashable
haskell-vector
haskell-ghc-bignum-orphans
haskell-primitive
ghc-libs

EDIT 2:
By checking using the command dependency-checker I see that all these
haskell-* packages were required by hedgewars, so all seems fine.

@hasezoey

a “random” note from brltty (i dont quite know what this does) is Please add your user to the brlapi group.

It’s braile driver (I have no idea how it work, you probably need special device). If you aren’t completely blind you probably don’t need it You can safely remove this packaage.

[Bankman]

Update went fine, but one error-message occured:

Warning: Directory permissions differ for /var/lib/AccountsService/

Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?

[ufo_driver]

Awwno, here we go again

pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) --no-confirm

[hasezoey]

As a update from my initial message:

• kde crashed while having something related being upgraded and now (even after restarts), the taskbar does not come back (and i cant find a setting for this)
• after upgrading and before rebooting, firefox suddenly kept crashing over and over

update: it seems like my ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc got into a bad state, reverting it to some hours before (btrfs snapshot), fixed it

Manjaro stuck at /dev/sda.... when booting - Kernel 5.14 EOL

Hello, I have just updated Manjaro and rebooted, now it is stuck at the /dev/nvme0p2… screen. (or /dev/sda…). No error messages there. According to some other post I switched to tty2 with ctrl+alt+f2, logged in as root and tried to reinstall the nvidia drivers using mhwd -i -f pci video-nvidia-470xx, mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 and mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia. Non of those work however, they all return an error message. Error: target not found: linux514-nvidia(-470xx (for the -470xx command)) Er…

first add new kernel , reboot on it ,
remove old one

I get “- unable to satisfy dependency ‘nvidia-utils=495.46’ required by linux515-rt-nvidia”

Update:

Tried updating to 5.16 kernel. Still conflict with nvidia-utils, but offer to remove linux-rt-nvidia.
“installing nvidia-utils (510.47.03-4) breaks dependency ‘nvidia-utils=495.46’ required by linux516-rt-nvidia Add linux516-rt-nvidia to remove”

Sounds like a bad deal for me. I do not want to remove the nvidia driver if that is the question.

sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/AccountsService/

[clubby789]

After upgrading my primary monitor isn’t working, and only my secondary monitor turns on (although the GRUB menu appears on the primary one). nvidia-utils 510.47.03-4, primary monitor shows up as ‘disabled’ in nvidia-settings (changing this has no effect and is reset to disabled immediately).

Having a dependency problem with jack2 pipewire-jack

• removing jack2 breaks dependency ‘jack2=1.9.20’ required by lib32-jack2

with excluding pipewire-jack i can run all the other updates makes it the only one left

[bamboolean]

Same for me, using
sudo pacman -S pipewire-jack
as specified by another user, does not fix the issue.

[audialche]

Hi,
I had the same dependency problem and I did the following:
I ran

sudo pacman -Sdd pipewire-jack

This reinstalled pipewire-jack and removed jack2 but left lib32-jack2. So I forcefully removed only lib32-jack2 with

sudo pacman -Rdd lib32-jack2

Then I proceeded with the update as usual and it asked me for a provider for lib32-jack.so. I chose pipewire and was able to update successfully.

This way you don’t have to remove other packages like portaudio and fluidsynth which depend on lib32-jack2 and jack2.

Note: The first -d skips version checks and the second -d skips dependency checks.

[nuke01]

I had to extend it to this
pacman -R lib32-jack2 lib32-portaudio lib32-fluidsynth jack2

[galeot]

@nuke01

I had to extend it to this
pacman -R lib32-jack2 lib32-portaudio lib32-fluidsynth jack2

same here
i had to remove cadencetoo, which depends on jack2-dbus

it’s a useful tool for me, any chance to install it without removing pipewire-jack?

EDIT:

now my synthv1 shows up in Helvum (pipewire patchbay), so Catia (Cadence) is not needed anymore for patching jack2 outputs

Issues with accountsservice

accountsservice has permission conflict it needs to be 775 now: Simple do: sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/AccountsService/

Keyboard and trackpad are not working after the update.

I am having the same issue I have stated here:

Keyboard & touchpad input doesn't work after the update

After the testing update 24-01-2022, my keyboard and touchpad stops working. It hangs there at the SDDM screen. It can be because of libinput update. Because I am using a fork of libinput for three-figer-drag support, which is this one: System: Kernel: 5.14.21-2-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.1.0 parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.14-x86_64 root=UUID=5aa960f9-3052-4c76-9257-1057f04b9522 rw quiet resume=UUID=3af4b3a6-4df6-4288-ae08-99df3959dc81 udev.log_priority=…

is it due to libinput update, or because of kernels, I am not sure.

[NunoRodrigues]

Is this normal? It’s taking a while

[nikgnomic]

This was mentioned as a new issue in Testing Update 2022-02-04

@philm

New warnings when building the fallback initcpio - Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa, qed, qla1280, qla2xxx

That’s due to the recent changes to the linux-firmware package. Note these are warnings, not errors. You only need those firmwares if you have Mellanox Spectrum switches, Marvell devices, Qualcomm SoCs, Cavium LiquidIO server adapters, QLogic devices and Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb ethernet adapters. if you have that hardware you can install linux-firmware-qlogic to get rid of those warnings. If you do not have that hardware you can safely ignore those warnings.

pamac install linux-firmware-qlogic

post#2 edited to add this as a new issue

Possibly missing firmware when installing the kernel linux-5.16.5-1-MANJARO.

WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: xhci_pci

The first boot after the upgrade, the kernel message shows the following error,

kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: FW download error recovery failed (-110)
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: sending frame failed (-19)
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to read MSFT supported features (-110)
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: command 0xfc1e tx timeout

However, my Bluetooth adaptor seems to be working. My device is

ID 8087:0029 Intel Corp. AX200 Bluetooth

When I connected my Sony DualSense controller, the kernel message shows

Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to read codec capabilities (-56)

Upgrade went fine, but one minor issue. I checked for orphaned packages after the update and got the following:

> pamac list -o
celt           0.11.3-4  extra  180.1 kB
pamac-gtk      10.3.0-4  extra  726.3 kB
zita-alsa-pcmi 0.4.0-1   extra  79.8 kB
zita-resampler 1.8.0-1   extra  202.6 kB

I removed all of them after checking that they are not required anymore, already wondering about pamac-gtk. When I now check for obsolete packages again it shows

> pamac list -o
pamac-cli 10.3.0-4  extra  206.7 kB

Installation details for the package show that it has been installed as a dependency for another package, but is currently not required by anything anymore

I could probably fix this by marking it as explicitly installed, but I wonder if others see the same and if that might cause problems for users who automatically and recursively uninstall orphaned packages.
