[Stable Update] 2022-04-15 - Kernels, Mesa, Nvidia, Budgie, PipeWire, LIbreOffice, KDE Frameworks, Wine

I can’t play videos on YouTube in the new Firefox version. chrome works just fine.

Had a bit of a hiccup after upgrading one of my systems, Ryzen 5900HX - it will boot with 5.16.18, but after I log in, I got just a black screen.

As kernel 5.16.x series is now EoL, I did REISUB to 5.15.32 LTS and now the system works as expected. Next I added Kernel 5.17.1, rebooted and the system is still OK.

Unexpected behavior in the new xfce4-terminal:
F10-Key does not toggle show menu bar anymore even though the option “Disable menu shortcut key (F10 by default)” is not set.

Rapid Photo Downloader starts fine on my testing branch Chromebook (also running manjaro Gnome, to be clear).

Tried moving aside Rapid Photo Downloader config and cache directories. Also no help.

Will import photos on the chrombook and transfer to workstation for now. Presumably this will work ok when current testing updates get merged into stable.

My mate desktop was limping badly after the update. Mouse and keyboard needed 30sec to ‘wake up’, onboard onscreen keyboard acting odd and not getting on top. Control Center >> Windows showed ‘Your windows-manager is unsupported.’

Removed mate-tweak with pamac, it left all dependencies in place. Reinstalled with all optional dependencies and rebooted. Initially, there were no changes but after opening Control Center >> Mate Tweak >> Windows I was able to pick marco windows manager and I was back to normal.

A post was split to a new topic: Error in Chromium when opening Youtube and other pages like Spotify

I had this error during the update:

Error: bluez-libs: signature from "Andreas Radke <andyrtr@archlinux.org>" is invalid

It is from the extra repository:

extra/bluez-libs 5.64-2 [installed]

And also the same error for the brave-browser package from the community repositories.

VA-API - Error.

I am on Manjaro GNOME edition

Stable updates were installed smoothly, rebooted, and installed new kernel 5.17.1.13 and removed Kernel 5.16.18-1 both went through without a glitch.
After the reboot, everything worked without a glitch other than VA-API. vainfo was throwing an error

$ vainfo
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed
vaInitialize failed with error code 1 (operation failed),exit

Reinstalled manjaro-vaapi everything seems to be working fine.
Hardware acceleration is still failing in Firefox other applications use hardware acceleration without any problem.
Firefox version 99.0.1

Any pointers to fix the Firefox hardware acceleration issue?

Hey i am not able to wake up my pc anymore after the update, hibernation works fine but resuming does not work, so i always have to shutdown my pc completely

I had this problem too, reverting the kernel to 5.15 made it able to wake up from sleep with a working monitor again on my machine.

There is a bug in LibreOffice 7.3.2 with KDE and Wayland. See it and it. It seems to be the bug I told above. The patch will be available in LibreOffice 7.3.3, but not before early May.

I found two workarounds but I need to test them.

Hi. When I try to update thunderbird, I get a message that the signature from Mark Wagie is not trusted and it does not let me update it. Here is a cut down version of the output:

To upgrade (3):
thunderbird             91.8.1-0.1  (91.8.0-1)  extra  66,0 MB
thunderbird-i18n-de     91.8.1-1    (91.8.0-1)  extra  629,5 kB
thunderbird-i18n-en-us  91.8.1-1    (91.8.0-1)  extra  546,3 kB

Fehler: thunderbird: signature from "Mark Wagie <mark@manjaro.org>" is unknown trust

The system is otherwise fully updated.
I am not sure where to report and ask for help, because none of the support forums match this topic I think.

the same for me

I just renewed my key.

EDIT: The issue is resolved with manjaro-keyring 20220421-1.

Also see pacman/Package signing - ArchWiki

sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

Okay thanks. I wasn’t sure if this is a problem or if I can just renew. I will. Edit: Success.

Thanks! Had no problem with the update. :slight_smile:

Thank you or posting this fix… I also received the package signature errors trying to update thunderbird today.

The command ran for quite some time, but once completed it resolved my thunderbird update issue as well… [ALPM] upgraded thunderbird (91.8.0-1 -> 91.8.1-0.1)

I come back to you. As I said in my message above about the bug of LibreOffice 7.3.2 with KDE and Wayland, I found two workaround tips. I tested one of these and it works. So, until the LibreOffice 7.3.3 version will be available in early May (with the patched fix), here is the workarounds :

  1. Edit the /etc/environment file and add the following line :

    SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3

Save and reboot.

Note: This is the one I tested.

or

  1. Edit the /etc/environment file and add the following line :

    QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb libreoffice

Save and reboot.

Regards.
