[Stable Update] 2022-05-23 - Kernels, Toolchain, NVIDIA, Mesa, KDE, Qt, Maui, LibreOffice, Plasma, Firefox, Thunderbird

KDE. Yes completely black screen, but taskbar and windows are OK (that’s why I haven’t even noticed that at first).

You’re not supposed to touch that file. You’re supposed to create a new “drop in” file under /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/

Then let us do …/30–stupid.conf :innocent:
The offending url is inside this holy file - so you ignore “not to touch the earth” file
:rofl:
or nothing will change - although time changes everything
B.t.w.: today is the first day of the rest of your life!

Thank you, thank you, it did the trick. At first it looked weird with random wallpapers and the taskbar gone, but after resetting the display settings (laptop + external display) it was back to normal.

Doesnot work, because NetworkManager does not care about…

That’s because we forced KDE to reset the display settings by renaming/removing the kscreen config folder. :wink:

How / what file did you create? Where? What are the contents of this new file? Did you restart the NetworkManager service using systemctl?

First I tried: sudo nano /etc/networkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf
(This File did not exist before) with this contents:

[connectivity]
uri=http://nmcheck.gnome.org/check_network_status.txt

Followed by sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
and -nothing happend/changed.
Then, as I have Internet, an Ubuntu-Forum told me I did wrong.
had to do: sudo nano /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf
This file already existed, contents:

[connectivity]
uri=http://ping.manjaro.org/check_network_status.txt

Changed to:

[connectivity]
[uri=http://ping.manjaro.org/check_network_status.txt]
uri=http://nmcheck.gnome.org/check_network_status.txt

saved, did sudo systemctl restart Networkmanager
and mission accomplished…

20-connectivity.conf

So it appears that the Ardour bug was a recurring problem that has cropped up consistently for at least one other person after recent updates. A fix may or may not be available before Ardour 7. Trying to find out:

Since the last 2 stable updates i have a temporary mouse cursor bug under KDE with Dolphin, im not sure how to repeat this bug… but i had it often in the last 8 days, my cursor changed to a slider cursor and i have to reopen the window to get my normal mouse cursor back.

Edit: Here is the wrong cursor.

The Cursor changed back to normal outside the Dolphin Window or when i close and open Dolphin again.
