X11 is fully ■■■■■■■ Using wayland for now as resetting all plasma settings didn’t help. If anybody found a solution on how to fix plasma while using x11 let me know.

As a last resort, I could do a full system rollback.

Hello everyone, the latest updates, yesterday, today created a problem that I have not yet figured out how to solve. Adding an Open VPN connection via a file(as usual), everything is ok, but after a reboot, the VPN connection disappears (as it never was). Deleted everything, re-created it, didn’t help. Does anyone know how this can be solved? Thanks

Thank you! After making sure nothing went wrong (I mean with other apps) with it, that one actually helped.

After the update, I started to have this weird issue, that I’m not sure how to troubleshoot.
When loading a YouTube video in firefox, the page loads fine, but there is no player or video.
Video playback works fine on other devices and when using mpv+ytdl.
So it’s not network issue.
Running in safe mode profile results in the same issue.
Not sure if this is the place to report it, but I guess it has something to do with mesa driver since I’m using hardware accelerated decoding.

EDIT:
Yup, switching to SW decoding solve it.
Not sure if anyone else is having the same issue.

Hey @philm, I’m one of the users who are facing the no such cryptodisk found issue that doesn’t actually prevent boot (so pressing a key/waiting will trigger boot), I was wondering a couple things, sorry if I’m being thick:

  • Should I apply the 20230406 update if I’m still facing the issue, or am I supposed to have solved the issue first?
  • When you say check grub.cfg for entries like cryptomount -u 3722dfb2-... and try to remove the dash separators: does this advice apply to those who are still able to boot? I’m worried that doing this will cause the full-on boot-blocking issue in my case. I have tried the other solutions suggested (short of sudo grub-install) to no avail.

Thanks!

Chromium HW acceleration appears to be broken for me, but hopefully it will come back in a future update. No worries, I can wait for the fix from upstream.

Same issue here, Chromium does not manage to initialize graphics acceleration:

For now, downgrading back to Chromium 111 from the last release works just fine for me.

Good day crafter9081.

In my case I still have the isue with grub (…press any key). I tried a solution posted but that did not work for me. In fact I did a fresh install a few days ago and made the update. So today I made this update (april 6) and it worked well.

Good luck.

Another boring “It just works” update.

There are multiple things which can cause that issue. cryptsetup package had changes for systemd 253. However we still ship 252, which doesn’t have that. Hence I reverted those changes on the cryptsetup package to match our systemd series. So yes, apply the update and see if that magically solves your issue. Take part at the discussion we have about that topic and report back your finding: Can't boot LUKS encrypted install after 2023-03-31 stable update

If someone can still boot, we call it a nag screen. Since we don’t know what the actual issue is, those community suggestions helped some of our users. As soon as there is a solution or guideline we will update the information. So far it is partly guessing. You can read my take on it to have more info about it.

there has been few developments since of late, requiring manual intervention in some cases.

Hi,

No task bar after each reboot and the desktop short cut are upside down.
It happened in the past, those bugs are back.

edit : I did a fresh install, it solve some issues :slight_smile:

I’m also getting this not such cryptodisk found line (but booting with no problem for now). In my case is most probably triggered for I’m keeping the systemd 251 till 252 is out (I don’t want to loose the timed suspend-then-hibernate option that was removed with 252, and is planned again for 253). So, I guess that 252 is coming not much later, and I can live with that for now.

Just, I saw the information about not using dashes for the UUID for LUKS devices in grub… Should then everyone change that line yet, wait if it’s working (with just the line showed), or what is the recommended procedure? Perhaps just try to modify the line directly in grub when booting, to check if it makes any difference, before changing anything permanently?

Thanks!

EDIT: after trying changing manually from grub menu to confirm it works properly, just taking out (manually) the dashes from the cryptomount -u lines in /boot/grub/grub.config , as suggested, avoids the (no so) annoying prompt. So, by now it’s an easy solution, to be applied whenever grub is updated; and probably future upgrades will solve it completely. Thanks again!
