[Stable Update] 2022-11-14 - Kernels, GNOME 43.1, Plasma 5.26.3, Systemd 251.8, Firefox 106.0.5, Thunderbird, LXQt

Answering my own question, downgrading xlib seems to be a solution. Haven’t tested it long enough to corroborate but seems legit.

Downgrading to libx11 1.8.1-3 solves this issue

After the update, a monitor that was working before doesn’t get signal. I see it on system settings > display. But when making it active, it blinks looking for signal and gets nothing.

Nvidia Gforce 1060, manjaro KDE (with openboxwm). This is a major issue. The monitor works with another computer fine (so we can discard hardware error). Has anything major changed in how external monitors are being treated?

The issue regarding libx11 is already in Known issues and solutions

A post was merged into an existing topic: After update, my external monitor doesn’t get signal

My third display (the only one on HDMI - rest are DVI) is recognized during login as it should be, but afterwards only black screen.

Good day, no sound in players, mpv; vlc; Firefox after update. Oddly the only sound I can hear is the Front right and Front left test in audio plasma system settings.

Default Sink for audio playback is set to use ALSA loopback snd_aloop rather than a hardware device

I suggest you change output sink in GUI controls

Or get available sink names

pactl list sinks short

and change default sink:

pactl set-default-sink NAME

Or remove the loopback module if you are not aware of how to use it

sudo modprobe -r snd_aloop

Thanks, nikgnomic.
Went back to audio settings in system settings and found a playback setting had been reversed.
Reselected and all good.
Best wishes

For those having issues with displays going black or other problems on NVIDIA graphics cards, I suspect something could be amiss with the driver in the repository. I found that installing the driver directly from Nvidia’s site resolves the issue (even though the version is the same.)

Thanks, this looks too high-risk to try.
I’m hoping the next update will fix it.
I have two laptops with nvidia hybrid card, and none of them deals with extermal monitor at all anymore. This is a big problem and reason for me to start looking for alternatives from Manjaro (after 7 years of being a Manjaro fan).

I just bought a desktop to make sure I 1/ get a working machine and 2/ Don’t have to deal with nvidia hybrid shenanigans ever again. My productivity is too valuable to me.

Ok, just updated today. Installed openssl1.1 and moved back to kernel 5.9, due to AMD graphics.
And no issues so far.

That has been EOL for almost two years. You’re putting yourself at risk. Perhaps use 5.10 LTS which is supported until December 2026.

just missspelled: 5.19

yeah, well 5.19 is EOL as well.
But will fit until 6.1 is released.

After this update KDE Plasma sometimes freezes, just stop responding.
Does anybody face with it?

Hello,

As others have mentioned, this update introduces problems with Bluetooth. In my case sometimes BT devices won’t connect and I’m unable to turn off/on the bluetooth controller. A reboot usually fixes it, but after a while BT devices stop responding.

I get this in dmesg:
