I am using Manjaro XFCE. Qt apps like Okular and Gwenview no longer work.

$ okular
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.2) with this library (5.15.3)

My first idea would be that you didn’t update qt5 before building for your repository.

As I mentioned: AUR packages like qt5-styleplugins need a rebuild against the new Qt5 packages …

[Beerfoo]

Is there any action required for this?

[maycne.sonahoz]

I did some cleaning in the issue log. I suggest we note the associated update date from now on, so we can more easily clean obsolete logs.

[Tio]

Yup works now. Thanks

Had to set user=myuser and group=libvirt in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.
I wonder how this was able to work before the update

[koshikas]

i think its about time you moved to strawberry, an actively developed fork of clementine. its in official repos.

It might be helpful to add an issue with libinput 1.20.0-1 to the list of known bugs. See https://forum.manjaro.org/t/media-keys-on-lenovo-keyboard-sk-8823-stopped-working/

My libvirt VM doesn’t start anymore - again (the previous upgrade also broke KVM/Qemu)

$ virsh -c qemu:///system start win10
error: Failed to start domain 'win10'

So, the user with id 959 is libvirt-qemu. My user christian has the same secondary group libvirt-qemu. Directory and files should be accessible by groups.

What’s wrong?

i cannot connect to the internet after this update, same as another user.
could someone please provide assistance over here?

My internet connection is no longer working

Got burned by this update… my internet connection is no longer working(PPoE type) so i’m posting this using a older live usb version of manjaro(with this one was able to connect fine with no issues just by creating&using a new PPoE connection) Something got changed i’m guessing its either the new network manager version or smth else relating to a message i saw scrolling by during update in the terminal window telling me the ping was changed to manjaroro.org or smth along these lines, wasn’t pay…

During update, I got the following warnings on both machines:

==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qed
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qla1280
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qla2xxx
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: xhci_pci

The first four warnings appeared twice at least; however, so far everything appears to be working fine.

@philm already posted in the beginnning. arch has splitted the firmware to minimize the main firmware. these warnings are because this hardware is excluded from the firmware and only needed if you own this hardware. so in general you can ignore it. nothing to worry about.

[Solved]: see below:

For the first time ever since moving to Manjaro, I’ve got a badly broken system.

It appears to be to do with the Qt library problem mentioned at the top by Philm, but unfortunately rebuilding qt5-styleplugins didn’t fix the problem (I even tried removing that package).

KDE tries to start, but hangs for a long time on the splash screen, eventually hiding that to show a practically empty desktop with a crash handler.

For the time being I’ve restored from my pre-upgrade backup and I’ll analyse what I can find in the crash report to see if I can work out where the problem lies (I assume it’s another package I need to rebuild, though I can only find qt5-styleplugins installed from AUR mentioning Qt).

I’ll experiment on my fallback partition and report back here with any findings for anyone else having problems.

OK, from going through the crash report, and proving that a clean KDE profile loaded fine, I managed to work out that the problem was due to the Webslice widget on my desktop.

So I suggest removing any such widgets before upgrading (because it’s going to be hard to do so afterwards).

Unfortunately, although there’s a newer version of Webslice that can be downloaded, it doesn’t work after logging out then back in again, so is effectively useless.

Cheers, mate.

Good to know, and thanks for the info -I hadn’t read that bit and couldn’t make anything out of the warnings but thought it might be a good idea to mention it just in case, kind of thing.
