New package from about 3 or 4 days ago: linux60-broadcom-wl does not run properly on boot, error mentions 6.0.2-1-MANJARO, I don’t know where it gets that from.

I think the package has a wrong setting. To confirm the issue wasn’t from my fiddling, I created a clean install from Manjaro-xfce minimal iso (on the official download page) and updated then updated kernel to 6.0, then added the package.

There seems to be an issue with libQt6Gui. Several Qt applications crash during startup on my system:

One question, u need to do this every time u change your primary monitor ???

Because i have the same issue…and i solve it on the gui tool…thanks

It remembers it for monitors for which I’ve set it. The GUI saves these preferences to the same file so it’s persistent.

Does require a log-out/in to see the changes.

This driver kills the dithering feature, that i use for a long time :frowning:

I need dithering for my colour banding problems that i have with my Dell Monitor.

Can i upgrade my Kernel without the new nvidia driver?

  manjaro-pulse       20221015-2   (20221002-1)  extra

After this update I faced with long time shutdown.
I use KDE.
does anybody have the same issue?

Worked around the issue for now by downgrading Qt packages to 6.3.2. Basically this worked by:

pamac install downgrade
sudo DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 downgrade qt6-5compat qt6-base qt6-declarative qt6-positioning qt6-quick3d qt6-quicktimeline qt6-serialport qt6-shadertools qt6-svg qt6-tools qt6-translations qt6-wayland qt6-webchannel qt6-webengine 

and then chosing version 6.3.2 for all packages.

I had this in the past a few times, where after a major upgrade on my system, a reboot/shutdown would take ages, or even stuck (seemingly). So I sometimes try a few key combinations and presses and it would restart successfully. My suspicion was the Nvidia driver, but that is probably because I hate it. Do you have Nvidia?

I press ctrl+alt+del for rebooting when system stucks on shutdown and then after reboot just try again to shutdown. but it’s annoying.
I use amd video

In my case it takes around 2 mins to shutdown the hdd when initiating a shut down. I’m using XFCE and NVIDIA. Unsure how to fix it.

Don´t [ CTRL+ALT+DEL ] !

if possible :wink:

Gentle shut down a suddenly hanged PC to minimize a chance of getting a broken filesystem and data loss:

Hmm. Maybe you could use xrandr. Using HDMI here is one example to turn it on.

xrandr --output HDMI-1 --set dithering On

Metapackage manjaro-pulse is to install 3 base packages needed for PulseAudio:
( pulseaudio + pulseaudio-alsa + pulseaudio-bluetooth )
If you skipped updating, or even removed this metapackage, there should be no adverse effect on PulseAudio packages

And what about the new Kernel?

Im worried, that when i upgrade the newest Kernel and after a restart. That its may possible, that my PC wont boot into Linux… because the newest nvidia driver is needed somewhere?

My Monitor is actually working with a Display Port Cable… Do i have to use a HDMI Kabel when i try your command?

I think you would use the command

–output eDP1

or

–output eDP1-1

Not sure. The HDMI was just for example purposes.

Your kernel concerns: Do you have another kernel installed to use as a fallback if a newer kernel gave you a black screen? I like to have more than one kernel installed for that reason.

With Kernel 5.9 I started to see issues with my Thinkpad P14s AMD Gen 1’s touchpad. After waking up from sleep dragging would not work anymore. Also, double tapping would not be working anymore. I had to run “sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse” every time in order to make it work again.

This was fixed with the first RC of Kernel 6.

Now, with 6.0.2-2 touchpad issues have reoccurred.

I dont have other Kernels installed, but if i had… they would be updated too if they arent EOL.

When i look at the nvidia xserver menue it shows DP-4 as connected device.

So should i use this command?
xrandr --output DP-4 --set dithering On

or

xrandr --output eDP1-4 --set dithering On

I had an issue with ceph-lib 15.2.17-1 not updating/rebuilding and crashing pamac. Then the system became unresponsive after trying to update it a couple of times though pamac (couldn’t reboot, couldn’t open a terminal).

I did a search for ceph-lib 15.2.17-1 and the general response was to delete it if not needed. I can’t remember installing it as I rarely install anything from AUR any more where I can help it.
