hmmm, anyone else experiencing a monitor not “waking up” properly (I sleep/blank my monitors and lock after 5 min) with requesting unexisting screen 1 as a plasmashell journal entry?

My workaround is to reconnect the monitor’s DP cable to force a refresh when this happens. Sleep/blank and wake-up work fine over the next 24-48hrs until the cycle repeats.

I’ve been rotating through some replacement monitors over the last couple months… perhaps there is some cached monitor history that could benefit from being flushed? Hmmm, I’m going to try the suggestion found @ Black Screen after plugging in new monitor • KDE Community Forums $ mv ~/.local/share/kscreen ~/.local/share/kscreen.corrupt

you can use sudo env DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 downgrade <package> to update anything you want that’s packaged by arch

[mine_turtle]

Had to downgrade libvirt to 1:8.3.0-1 (from 1:8.4.0-1), otherwise error “chardev ‘spicevmc’ not supported without spice graphics” prevents VM from starting.

[Yochanan]

With what VM program?

[mine_turtle]

Qemu. Using VMM to manage all my VM’s.
My issue was also mentioned here: [SOLVED] libvirsh 8.4.0 can't start vm as spicevmc needs spice graphic / Applications & Desktop Environments / Arch Linux Forums

glibc vs 2.35-6 causes Ardour to hang on closure, downgrade to glibc-2.35-4 is a fix, solution is in glibc 2.36. See Ardour 6.9 crashing on exit - #8 by al_F

(sorry, zbe)

[anon51566685]

I think you linked wrong post. I’d never suggest downgrading glibc.

In last few updates (I cannot pinpoint the exact update, sorry), the open/save file dialog is in a semi-broken state where I cannot expand just one field (e.g. name of a file, or size, or type, or date modified), and the only way to see full filename is to resize the whole window of the dialog.

Is this a known bug and/or is there to fix this?

[HowTo] Avoid pacman transaction failures

Avoid pacman transaction failures Whether you are a developer by trade or you are a hobby coder there is nothing more annoying than update issues due to conflicting files and cancelled transactions. Spend your time coding As a long time developer - using Arch and Manjaro - I can tell from experience - having your workflow broken is extremely stressing - especially due to system issues. Issues you could have avoided and I will share with you - how to avoid them. Spend your time coding instea…

I also have auto mounted NAS folders and they mount just fine with 5.18. But I have way less mount options in my fstab:

//(NAS-IP)/home  /mnt/NAS_home  cifs    defaults,uid=1000,credentials=/home/(USERNAME)/nascred  0 0

Maybe try remove some of your mount options if you don’t really need them?

[db-geek]

Is there any error message available?

What happens, if you tries to mount the volume manually, e.g. with

sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/carsten/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,nounix,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,nocase,noserverino,mfsymlinks //NAS-2/home /home/caho/NAS-2
