I got this error: jack2 and pipewire-jack are in conflict. Which ones of the packages should be removed?

jack2 and pipewire-jack are both an implementation of the JACK API. pipewire-jack now properly provides jack, which means that it can no longer be installed side-by-side with jack2.

I think you can remove jack2. Run pactree -r jack2 to see what depends on it before removing.

Getting the same error.
Here is another related discussion:

I also encountered the jack2 pipewire-jack conflict issue. The method I used to resolve this conflict is by reinstalling pipewire-jack. It automatically removes jack2 so that the update can continue.

This seems to be resolved:

During kernel update an error is displayed: possible missing firmware for qb and 3 three other firmware modules.

Another reminder is that nvidia 510 driver seems to solve the dbus issue, so we can safely disable the fake-powerd systemd service.

sudo systemctl stop nvidia-fake-powerd.service
sudo systemctl disable nvidia-fake-powerd.service
pamac remove nvidia-fake-powerd

can confirm, removing jack2 works fine for me.

your solution worked for me

sudo pacman -S pipewire-jack

remove jack2, then procced with the rest of the update normally

While updating my system, I got the following error message:

Installation von nvidia-utils (510.47.03-4) verletzt Abhängigkeit 
»nvidia-utils=495.46«, benötigt von linux514-nvidia

I currently have kernel 5.14.21-2 installed which is no longer supported. Tried to install another kernel, but this getting the same error message.

How can I solve this dependency?

You may use a Live environment to chroot to your system to install the LTS kernel. See this

Remove kernel 5.14, install a supported one, 5.4, 5.10 or 5.15, its *-headers package and try again.

I created a user account for some testing purposes. But when I click Delete User in KDE System Settings > Users, nothing happens. No password prompt, nothing …
Also I cannot create new accounts from KDE system settings.
The actions can be done from MSM, though.

Can anyone please confirm if this is happenning in my system only?

Things i noticed while updating:

  • i had also encountered the JACK issue, which was simply fixed by running pacman -S pipewire-jack before the full upgrade
  • while it updated, kde plasma (wayland) desktop crashed (i dont know exactly which process it is but the one that provides the taskbar and the desktop-background (task-switching still works fine))
  • package accountservice gave a warning that /var/lib/AccountsService/ has mismatched directory permissions (filesystem: 755 package: 775), even though i never modified that directory
  • a “random” note from brltty (i dont quite know what this does) is Please add your user to the brlapi group.

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.

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 :stuck_out_tongue: You can safely remove this packaage.

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?

Awwno, here we go again :upside_down_face:

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

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

see this

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.
