[Stable Update] 2023-03-31 - Kernels, Plasma 5.27 LTS, Pamac, Phosh, Mesa, LibreOffice

Using Manjaro KDE on an AMD Radeon graphics system. After this latest update, my firefox now has an abnormally large interface, which is pleasant on the eyes, but too large to be practical. It takes up 1/5 of the screen. I installed xsettingsd (no system restart yet) but that made no difference.

Other GTK apps also have issues. Disks now has icons and fonts that are too small.

I have an encryption issue that I don’t think is related to the grub one mentioned above. I use systemd-boot and have been using disk encryption with secure boot and unlocking the encrypted drives using TPM2. This has worked fine until the update today, and my system has been hanging on boot.

I found this in my journal, after realizing I needed to manually type in my password (though I get no prompt now):

systemd-cryptsetup[432]: TPM2 support is not installed.

Was TPM2 support removed from Manjaro’s version of systemd-cryptsetup?

Update: restarting was all that was missing. Firefox and Gnome Disks now look perfect. In summary, installing xsettingsd and rebooting fixed the problem.

I ran into a problem on my older Nvidia based system (Nv GT-750Ti). The installation won’t go further because of those errors. i am no expert in Manjaro, so help will be appreciate * Sorry it is in French but should be easy to understand Tx

P.S On my main system, Ryzen 5600 and AMD RX570, the update went fine as I can see. Good work.

With 500 updates for Plasma, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised that the vote for “No issues” was only 74% after 200 votes. Fortunately I’m one of these 74%. It’s been about a year since I started with Manjaro pretty much without issues, maybe it is time I donate or at least pickup up a tshirt.

Hi,

manjaro-start at the desktop needed about 20 seconds. But finally it run. I dont know why, but the desktop background dissapeared.

And one more thing, JDownloader looks like an ant farm, everything super tiny. I have checked

and the options are activated.

Dont know how to fix this :confused:


Hi Yochanan, I have been running 6.1 for a while now but i did not remove 6.0 as a fallback. So, I cleanup all linux60 but still those errors persist. I cannot go forward with the update.

Actualizacion instalada y sin ningún problema que reportar, todo funcionando y probado. Almenos en mi particular equipo

I have one question, maybe you know the answer to it. before, when I was on Manjaro Sikaris, systemd-analyze showed 6-8 seconds, and now on the Talos version, the shortest time is 13 seconds, can you understand the reason?

No, as we maintain it ourselves: Packages / Core / linux-firmware · GitLab You can complain about it in our gitlab instance.

So there was some initial weirdness where my timeshift backup drive (separate) was not being detected (I think). This might have been causing a delay in all GTK apps when opening the file dialogue. I say this because once I disconnected and reconnected the backup drive and let a backup complete, the delay in opening file dialogues was gone. Since timeshift is a GTK app, there might be some connection there but I wouldn’t know.

Everything working great now. On the plus side, Bismuth still working fine for me…

At first: after this 1,4 Gt update my PC booted 2 times OK, but during the 3rd booting - after successful LUKS process - the booting process ended into black screen with tty asking login name + password. I did not remember login name, so I had to re-install Manjaro (version 22.0.5) again.

Secondly: After re-install I received 1,3 update and I got ‘‘error in updating manjaro-keyring’’. How to fix it ?

I do not know if this issue causes that porting of AUR packs end into error and cancelling.

A bit of a queer problem with Darktable. I may be the only person this is affecting (highly customised setup) but I’ll post this in case it does help anyone else.

Both the GUI and darktable-cli hang immediately on startup. After some debugging, I found that the GUI would work OK if invoked as darktable --disable-opencl but unfortunately the cli version doesn’t have this option.

After more digging, I found that the problem is caused by intel-oneapi-compiler-shared-opencl-cpu, which annoyingly is required by another package I need. I think I’m going to have to somehow block access to /etc/OpenCL/vendors/ by Darktable, unless I can find a replacement for the package that needs the intel package.

I have so far noticed 3 relatively minor issues I assume are Plasma-related:

  1. My taskbars were wrong: all 3 had shrunk to below size 50 when I have them at 70, and the one on my portrait screen moved to the right side instead of the bottom.
  2. All font sizes had shrunk by 2pt.
  3. Favourites on the application launcher seem bunched up with incorrect spacing and there’s an unnamed folder icon among them that reappears immediately when I remove it - this is the only one I don’t know how to fix.

I think this may be the cause / relation:

Something has gone wrong with your try of enabling https://nonfree.eu/ .
Look:

extra/libva-mesa-driver 23.0.1-1
mesa-nonfree/libva-mesa-driver 1:23.0.1-1

So again:

### install ###

## locally trust the ci key (you see two lines, but it is ONE command)
sudo pacman-key --recv-keys B728DB23B92CB01B && \
  sudo pacman-key --lsign-key B728DB23B92CB01B

## add the repo configuration:
sudo sh -c "curl -s https://nonfree.eu/$(pacman-mirrors -G)/ > /etc/pacman.d/mesa-nonfree.pre.repo.conf"

## include the repo configuration:
sudo sed -i '/^\[core\]/i \Include = /etc/pacman.d/mesa-nonfree.pre.repo.conf\n' /etc/pacman.conf

## run a full system update:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

Now, when you open pamac-manager (don’t forget to refresh the database), clic on repositories and you should see “mesa-nonfree” on top.

After the Update some Software did not start anymore. That effects LibreOfiice, Darktable, OBS. Also deleting the .config files doesn’t help. As a workaround I installed the Flatpak Version of LibreOffice and darktable which work.

Try running darktable with darktable --disable-opencl. This fixed the problem for me. See my earlier post for more info on my diagnostics.

The nvidia driver (530.41.03) included in the latest stable update is not a stable driver according to nvidia. It is categorized as a “New Feature” version, the “Production” branch driver is 525.105.17.

The 530.41.03 driver ONLY support the 4090 GPU from the 4000-series, the 4070 and 4080 + all notebook 4000-series GPUs are unsupported.

How do I upgrade all components except the nvidia driver?
