[Stable Update] 2022-12-06 - Kernels, Mesa, Plasma, Cinnamon, Nvidia, LibreOffice, Pipewire, Virtualbox

1.I dont understand this Mesa Hardware Acceleration thing, isnt Mesa for gaming?

2.Im using Shotcut Video Encoder with libx264 codec, does it affect me? But i have deselect “use Hardware encoder” because it reduced the quality of the exported video, should i expect longer video convert progress after the update?

  1. I have a nvidia card, is this mainly a AMD only issue?

the same situation.

Can’t boot after reboot on my laptop (haven’t checked my PC at home yet). Was able to restore using timeshift-btrfs.

Had this message during failed boot:

I believe libcrypto3 is from openssl, and I recall installing openssl3-git to resolve paru and other stuff not being able to connect because of librecypto.so.3 being missing. Other than that, I run kernel 6.0 and that was mentioned to be a possible issue.

After work, I’ll remove openssl3-git before trying to upgrade again, just in case that matters.

This is my system info in the timeshift snapshot (before upgrade, booted to kernel 5.15, just in case, since I have work) I’ve restored to, in case it’s relevant.

Edit: Confirmed: happens on both my PC and laptop, but uninstalling openssl3-git before upgrading prevents the issue.

strange that after this upgrade my intel NUC can’t display, it will flash a purple screen and then goes blank. Will think to re-install the OS :cry:

update: the display works after I choose “fallback initramfs”, need some help ! I’m not familiar with it.

Affects only hardware-accelerated video decoding. Encoding is unaffected.

Nvidia and Intel GPUs are unaffected.

Before running update, modified /etc/pacman.conf to ignore package update for mesa as follows:

IgnorePkg   = mesa mesa-demos mesa-vdpau lib32-libva-mesa-driver lib32-mesa lib32-mesa-demos lib32-mesa-vdpau libva-mesa-driver lib32-vulkan-intel lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-intel vulkan-radeon 

Update completed without problems.

Running with:

mesa 22.2.3-1
mesa-demos 8.5.0-2
mesa-vdpau 22.2.3-1
lib32-libva-mesa-driver 22.2.3-1
lib32-mesa 22.2.3-1 
lib32-mesa-demos 8.5.0-1 
lib32-mesa-vdpau 22.2.3-1
libva-mesa-driver 22.2.4-1 
lib32-vulkan-intel 22.2.3-1
lib32-vulkan-radeon 22.2.3-1
vulkan-intel 22.2.3-1
vulkan-radeon 22.2.3-1

No problems here in Plasma 5.24.7 LTS with the above-quoted bump to KDE Frameworks. Just thought I’d mention this, for those who are also still using the LTS version of Plasma. :slight_smile:

The only small surprise I had with this update — but this was quickly remedied — was that for some mysterious reason, the Telegram Desktop icon had vanished from my Favorites section in the Application Dashboard. But that was of course easily put back. :wink:

ERROR:pulse_util.cc(350)] pa_operation is nullptr.

I found out that the problem occurs in the WaitForOperationCompletion function

This is fixed with 390.157-2

Thank you, I appreciate. RDP is quite important to my use case.

Great, thank you @greysoft !

I am using pipewire and the same situation, restarting the services fixes temporally the audio as it crash again later

I can confirm 390.157-2 fixed the issue for me, thank you very much @philm

Indeed. As an aside, I found out that the problem is caused by plugging in my second monitor that had a different refresh rate. Removing it makes the icons, font, aurorae window border etc work well. But I need to use my second monitor so Plasma LTS it is.

I had the same behaviour with Gnome/X11, but this has happend before on other major updates too.
You don’t need to do a hard reset in these cases: please switch to another Terminal session (i.e. Crtl+Alt+F3). There you can check if pamac or pacman is still updating and when there is no further activity, you can do a sudo reboot.

Would this need to be done for the lib32 version of the package, as well? If so, would you have a link to its repo? (I looked but I couldn’t find it…)

I am with Ryzen 5800H running only with integrated AMD video, the problems with wake up from sleep actually started after update to kernel 6.0.8-1. I moved to 6.0.5_rt14 and the problem is gone. On 6.0.6.1 everything was working. I can confirm that with 5.15 LTS it is working correctly.

The openvpn client in GNOME is not working anymore. It keeps asking me for my password, but never connects. The same configuration works when I run it from the terminal.

it unfortunately also affects encoding.

For now it looks like it hasn’t been disabled for on lib32-mesa since I also couldn’t find a repo for it.
If/when it is disabled the repo with the package should be in Multilib · GitLab
