[Stable Update] 2022-06-24 - Kernels, KDE Frameworks, Cinnamon 5.4, Qt5, Gstreamer, Haskell, Python

I too had my multi-monitor systems all janked. Thankfully it was just going in and rearranging them and it was more annoying than anything


Looks like i’ll need to make a tutorial about it…

i’d advise to wait a bit until things settle down and solutions to new issues have been suggested or applied,especially if you don’t know how to handle those yourself.

Thanks:

pamac build qt5-styleplugins

fixed the issue.

I think i had that error with last(?) stable update allready.

qt5-styleplugins comes as dependency of
xfce-sx-settings that is needed by these packages:

adapta-maia-theme-3.94.0.149-2 kvantum-1.0.2-1 manjaro-base-skel-20171029-3 manjaro-sx-wallpapers-20171023-1 papirus-icon-theme-20220606-1 papirus-maia-icon-theme-20200702-1 qt5-styleplugins-5.0.0.20170311-29
qt5ct-1.5-2 xcursor-breeze-5.22.5-1 xfce-sx-settings-20190617-1

… i don’t want to remove them!

How do i tell manjaro to rebuild qt5-styleplugins automatically?!

You don’t. The only time packages like that need to be rebuilt is when there’s a new Qt 5 point release like with the recent 5.15.5 update. You are responsible for managing the packages on your own system. Remember, the AUR is neither supported by Arch nor Manjaro.

I don’t see xfce-sx-settings in the repositories nor in AUR, so i highly doubt it is needed by anything.

After I updated to the stable Kernel and rebooted the screen was black.
I went into grub, had it boot from terminal.
The problem was ACPI, the symbols from the BIOS were not recognized.

The system info is:

ACPI Kernel Argument

forum manjaro org t how-to-choose-the-proper-acpi-kernel-argument 1405

I then set

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi='Windows 2019 ....'

rebooted and it seems to work fine.

There is no bios update for the mainboard, the above seems to be a work around

I started having an issue with the Steam game Warframe, which led to finding out Vulkan no longer worked.

also, there was this oddity ,when running this with sudo:

other parts of my system appear to be using 1.3.217 instead:

find /usr/lib/ 2>/dev/null | grep 1.3.217
/usr/lib/libvulkan.so.1.3.217

this appears to have been fixed by uninstalling amdvlk and lib32-amdvlk, as vulkan-radeon appears to also have been providing vulkan-driver.

Installed latest stable branch from ISO new after some testing of Fedora on my device.
So far all good, but i was facing that /var/lib/sddm not writable error.

Got it solved wiht a solution posted earlier in this forum.
Not sure if it’s related to the newest version, but i did not have it with a previous release.

I seem to have the same issues:
When starting games through WINE or GE-Proton I get a WINE-pop-up with:

Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed

Game seems failing to use Vulkan.

I have updated the kernel to 5.18.6-1 and immediately I started noticing that the system fails to load kernel modules.

However, I can boot completely fine with Kernel 5.17, so the system is definitely usable.

Any ideas on how to debug this issue? I’ll start a separate thread with all the required details so as to not derail this topic.

Hardware:

  • ASUS TUF GAMING F15 Laptop
  • Intel i5
  • NVIDIA 3060 Ti GPU

Please let me know what all relevant details are needed and I’ll make a separate thread.

Can you post sudo pacman -Q | grep "linux518-*" and sudo pacman -Q | grep "linux517-*"?

Seems like there are some Kernel modules missing.

Problem is NVIDIA as usual?
installed kernel modules should be:
linux518 / linux518-headers / linux518-nvidia
(re-)installing via pamac will do the trick (hopefully)

I don’t have linux518-headers installed, so no idea if that will help. Should I run mkpcinitio again?

Install it and boot again with 5.18

Or reinstall the kernel (5.18) with

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux518

This will install dependencies from previous kernel as well.

Says nvidia-518 is missing. Headers too…

I removed the pacman cache first with pacman -Scc and then removed the modules pacman -R linux518 linux518-nvidia and rebooted using 5.17 kernel.

Then I executed sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux518 and got the following output:

Any issues for these? I guess I’ll now install pacman -Sy linux518-headers manually and reboot to see what happens.

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
EDIT: and pamac install upd72020x-fw (for xhci_pci issue)

:+1: but I wouldn’t recommend installing firmware from AUR unless you have hardware components that need it. You can just ignore it.

Looks like he has a Renesas upd72020x USB-Chip on the motherboard, I presume?
