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.
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.
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.
Tried it but it’s not trivial as nvidia drivers are loaded already when you try to install them. I get:
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find
suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README
available on the Linux driver download page at
www.nvidia.com.
I guess the idea is to disable the module before trying the install. That means I would have to install from a TTY outside X. A bit convoluted, and high risk of bricking the system even more than it is now.
Can anyone corroborate that this solution works? I’m waiting for a new desktop and my 2 lappys are manjaro and bricked for external monitor because of this. Last update was terrible on my hybrid laptops
Out of curiosity, what symptoms are you seeing that lead you to this conclusion?
I’ve been having random display lockups for a while now (actually from before this update) so if they might be related I may benefit from a downgrade as well.

… anyway 2 days now without desktop process crash with older firmware…
Thanks. Those are the same errors I see (though with my Plasma system I can never recover without a reboot). so I’ll give it a try.
How many firmware versions did you go back? I only have three in cache so may have to work at it to get an older one if I need it.
Just one back for me currently – 20220913. I have Vega64 (vega10 chip/firmware files), could be different for other chips.
If I could find “working or stable enough version” for my GPU, it might be possible to just keep back (backup and copy over) just the vega10*.bin files in /lib/firmware/amdgpu folder while using newest firmware package for everything else? maybe? afterall GPU is just one component in the computer and using newer firmware for other stuff might be important.
