[Stable Update] 2022-10-05 - Kernels, Systemd, AMDVLK, Deepin, Pamac, QEMU, Thunderbird, Firefox, 0 A.D., Gradience, Linux Firmware, WINE, GNOME, Pipewire

I am running into an issue with this update. I have tried it twice now, and each time it hangs on boot when I restart. I am unable to get into TTY with Ctrl + Alt + F2 when this happens. I have successfully used Timeshift from a liveUSB to get back to 5.10.141. I am running KDE Plasma on a Dell Inspiron 7415 with a Ryzen 7 5700U.

A post was split to a new topic: Issues playing games on Steam through Proton-GE

Something got messed up with pipewire, when I do the update my microphone starts crackling. It is a simple USB microphone and when I use timeshift to reverse the changes, it works just fine again. I am using wireplumber because I had other problems with pipewire-media-session. My Behringer audio interface works just fine. (I have no XLR mic, I am using it like a soundcard)

Remove pulseaudio if you use pipewire
sudo pacman -R manjaro-pulse

it looks like the update introduced heavy distortions on audioinput

The killed qBittorrent :frowning:

Try qbittorrent-qt5.

I found a thread that was pointing to a bug in qt6 or something to that effect.

Only for GTK environments then, because I use qBittorrent just fine on Plasma.

Very good, it has been about the same for me. I have hold on all updates for the last month and applied today, on several machines with Manjaro KDE, the two last stable updates (09-12 and 10-05) and it went very well ! I only needed to remove python2 and ceph-libs and reinstall and reconfigure Syncthing and Simplenote with the flatpak versions and few other tweaks. I have followed the precious advices given on this forum and did not encounter any new surprise. Before launching the upgrade process I carefully cleared files and cache with Stacer and Bleachbit and made a Timeshift backup. Thanks a lot guys for your help !

After the update, VLC started showing the “VLC could not identify the audio or video codec” error on all videos and stopped displaying subtitles. When I launch it through the console, I get

Looks like the same error as reported for Arch (I’m not allowed to add links, but the post can be googled by “VLC Unidentified codec error”). There it says that the new libebml is the problem.

Hi
in my opinion, this is an issue

Well, the PKGBUILDs for 5.24 can been found here: Packages / temp / kde-stable · GitLab. If others still need it they can been build via sudo chrootbuild -l plasma after installing manjaro-chrootbuild.

Hi, I’m having quite a big issue,

I rebooted my machine after updating it and it takes at least 15mins to load sddm, and it’s impossible to log in from here. All I can do is log from a tty (which takes a few minutes as well) and running startx does not work either.
How to fix this ?

I got the same error. It was recommended I update mirrors and update, so I ran sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

In doing this, I got the following error:

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Not sure what to do now. Ideas?

MKVToolNix is broken again, it’s been broken about 5 times in the last 2 years.

KDE issue here - anyone getting xdg-desktop-portal-kde dumping its core when kde loads up? I seem to see a couple of mentions on the arch linux forums from half a month ago (which kind of makes sense) but no solution that I can find. Reinstalling it doesn’t fix it. Anyone have any ideas?

indeed the issue is with new libebml, or rather these dependencies of it (vlc, mkvtool*) not being rebuilt and available in stable branch for now. for the time being you can downgrade libebml.

I am seeing that too, but is it actually causing a specific problem for you?

If I check
systemctl --user status plasma-xdg-desktop-portal-kde
I see “Desktop portal registered successfully” about 12 seconds after the core dump, and status is “active (running)”. I haven’t experienced any problems, but I’m not sure that I’m using anything which relies on xdg-desktop-portal-kde.

No, it’s not causing any problems, as far as I can tell. Yeah the service is running. I guess it doesn’t matter if it’s not causing a problem

I did suffer the ceph-lib forever make loop, but many thanks to folks on this forum for making the solution so easy to find - and implement (i.e., uninstalling the ceph-lib legacy code). :+1:
