I tried to open LibreOffice Writer and it kept crashing each time. I renamed .cache, .config and ~/.local/share/kscreen, then rebooted - now everything works again, but I’m not able to use all my hard work adjusting Manjaro KDE Plasma (KWin) to suit my needs. This is not an acceptable solution for this issue. It’s just a dirty temporary workaround.
EDIT: I just restored my old .config only then rebooted. But the system behaves just as the same as right after the update. My applications and System Settings items keep crashing.
I just updated Thunderbird and Chromium after the restore, I’ll wait a few days … something doesn’t fit anymore (w/ latest mesa, x-org, KDE, QT … no idea)
Hello this is the first time I had trouble after an update, but it’s a big one as it left my system completely inoperable.
I am using KDE Wayland and after installing the update and rebooting my memory (32 GB) is completely filled to the point where I couldn’t start any new programs. The problem persisted across several reboots and switching to a X11 session.
I could luckily still start Yakuake and found the culprit to be plasmashell which was sitting at 28GB memory usage.
Only thing I could do was to revert the update via Timeshift.
EDIT:
Via binary search I found the package responsible for the issue.
Surprisingly it’s glibc (and/or lib32-glibc) going from 2.36-7 → 2.37-2
For my machine this is reproducible and leads to the issue mentioned above.
hmm, I don’t use KDE Wayland but I put glibc & lib32-glibc to the ignore list and restarted the upgrade, now everything worked without problems.
Everything is in place and works as before ,no need to create new kscreen config files.
Do you think I should keep glibc & lib32-glibc on my ignore list or can they be updated after the main upgrade as well?
Somewhat similar experience here. Yesterday I did get notification about upgrade from pamac-tray-plasma. pamac-manager displayed list of upgraded packages. Today when I tried to run update, the same widget told me that my system is up-to-date. I modified the list of mirrors as described here: How to Change Manjaro Mirrors List which solved the issue.
