[Stable Update] 2023-05-07 - Kernels, KDE Gear 23.04.0, KDE Frameworks 5.105.0, Qt5, Firefox, Thunderbird

Only a minor issue with the kitty terminal:

the font seems a lot thicker / bolder than before … didn’f find a solution for now …

akonadi failed to upgrade its database on the first system reboot and crashed.
It succeeded on the second.

Replace qemu-virtiofsd with extra/virtiofsd?

Some advice for this ?

PS: I have chosen to replace and seems everything is ok…

after the upgrade, i am experiencing (kernel?) crashes (both on 6.2 and 6.3), without any specific error in journalctl, it just resets the whole system (like having pressed the reset power button), reverting to before (thanks to snapper) fixes the issue for now

the last journalctl of the run where it resets look like:

without a notice of a reboot / reset or kernel panic

pacman.log from the upgrade (for package changes reference)

also i dont know if it matters, but after such a reset happens, it prints the following on the next boot (both on screen for a short time and in the journal log) but does not print this when rebooting normally (like via poweroff --reboot or via shutdown and pressing power button):

maybe something related to the amd-ucode package update?

kde system info (when running before the upgrade):

Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

PS: in total the resets happened 2 times since the upgrade (within ~2 hours after the upgrade)

Also no linux63-zfs package

In version 0.28 there’s new config option introduced which configures the thing you mentioned

Upstream does not yet support 6.3.

check with kernel 5.15 LTS if you get same errors
also check cables for error on sata1.

can you report

inxi -fza

removed 6.3 and still getting this messages with 6.1 and 6.2
reinstalled linux61-zfs and linux62-zfs - no effect.
tested zfs-dkms - it generates modules, but ‘mkinicpio -P’ still generate the error.
I fear to reboot :slight_smile:

check with kernel 5.15 LTS if you get same errors

like i said earlier, it happens regardless of kernel (tested new 6.3 new 6.2 and before-upgrade)

also check cables for error on sata1.

it works without problems before the update (like i am running now), also ata1 (like mentioned in the journalctl) is my disk drive (bluray to be specific), with nothing in it

inxi -fza

see for adding on boot kernel
“iommu=pt amd_pstate=passive processor.max_cstate=5”

you can block amd-ucode update and do a try , if errors still occurs ( that will indicate that there is error from microcode )

Update the BIOS.

thanks for notifying that there is a bios update, though still it shouldnt break after a linux system update

I’m running into one new issue caused with this update, KDE Plasma (Wayland) with Dolphin: Whenever I move a file to another directory by shift-dragging, the view doesn’t refresh to show the old file having been moved, I have to press F5 to do a manual refresh after which the moved file is no longer displayed in its old location. Anyone else getting this one?

see for adding on boot kernel

did you mean before or after the amd-ucode update?

you can block amd-ucode update and do a try , if errors still occurs ( that will indicate that there is error from microcode )

i am currently running the update, without amd-ucode updated and linux63 installed, and it seems to work fine (also not yet bios updated like suggested in another comment)

blocked before the update :slight_smile: after this is a downgrade :slight_smile:

The updated ucode requires a new AGESA version, hence, a BIOS update is required.
You can always blacklist the amd-ucode package.
Future amd-code updates will require the newer BIOS too.

EDIT: That is a common issue and it does not depend on Manjaro. It was reported on gentoo forums for the firs time and it affects all linux versions which include the updated microcode.
It’s up to you to keep your hardware firmware up to date.

wow, really great help! Thank you so much !!!
