I’m having the same issue as well, plasma-systemmonitor is unable to display any of the sensors/usage stats of my graphics card (Nvidia RTX3070Ti) but other programs such as Nvidia control panel, mangohud, etc are able to display these usage statistics just fine. I’m running kernel 6.0.11-1-MANJARO and Nvidia driver version 525.60.11
It was also working just fine for me before the update, do we just need to wait for a plasma update, or is something else missing?
It should be noted that this is still a deliberate choice the Manjaro team is doing here, as the functionality could stay enabled. E.g. (and so far at least) Arch is keeping it enabled. So personally I think it would be nice to have a somewhat better explanation of the reasons behind this decision than making it sound as if it’s something that can’t be helped as it’s happening outside of Manjaro’s sphere of influence.
philm already gave the link in the description of changes ! if you had taken only a single moment to read it you would know why ! your question is already answered so don’t waste our time.
Also, why cripple specifically hardware acceleration for only one brand, but leaving SOFTWARE acceleration by cpu in place?
If the former is allegedly a legally grey area, wouldn’t the latter surely put any distro far into sue-me country?
I would really be grateful for an explanation here…
That is not correct. Manjaro as a distro isn’t committed to only distribute free software.
The reason is stated in the very first post of this announcment: (IMHO unfounded) fear of patent violations and liability.
Ok, fair enough.
I guess there might be different opinions in the team.
But in particular if that’s the decision of a company, the continued availability of software decoding (please, correct me if I’m wrong) for the very same codecs makes it either look like a very half-cooked decision or a somewhat insincere/incomplete explanation.
so yeah there has to be linux 6.0. But since I am not quite aware of things like [EOL] and rt54 and r14, I thought of asking here. I know my question was stupid but I would be grateful if I was educated on these things.
My original being : is stable update receiving 6.0 kernel or is it still in version 5 ?
rt means “Experimental” (the actual word I don’t right now, but that’s what it boils down to; rc is “Release Candidate”, EOL is “End of Life”, thus about to lose support. Unless you know exactly what you’re doing, stay away from kernels with letters in their version numbers -they’re for testing, and may well give you a headache.
As long as you don’t have the hardware that module’s needed for, you don’t need to worry.
I deleted some modules for hardware I don’t have and I get warnings like this for them.
On the other hand, if you do have that hardware, you need to find the module in the package manager and install it.
