A bug in KDE Frameworks can delete targets of symlinks. More info here.

Steam cashes on startup with lib32-libgudev installed

The latest lib32-libgudev update does not cooperate with the version of the same package provided by steam, and steam seems to attempt making calls to both leading to the crash.

Details: bug report, arch task, arch forum thread.

• Workaround #1 (causes steam to avoid making any calls to lib32-libgudev by using a different library altogether)

  • sudo pacman -S lib32-libnm

• Workaround #2 (forces steam and any other application to always use the new lib32-libgudev)

  • sudo pacman -S lib32-libudev0-shim

• Workaround #3 (use steam-native-runtime, which doesn’t have the issue)

  • sudo pacman -S steam-native-runtime

libpamac 11.5.5-1 breaks update function

We are currently working on fixing a reported security vulnerability which gave you root access via pamac-daemon. During that process we broke the update functionality. Hence use sudo pacman -Syu to update to the latest libpamac release (11.5.7-2)

The community repository has been merged into extra and is now empty

The Arch git migration is now complete .

The [community] repository has been merged into [extra] and is now empty.
It may take a bit of time for mirrors to catch up (more details here).

Update your system and handle the pacman

sudo pacman -Syu "pacman>=6.0.2-11"

In order to remove the defunct [community] repo changes must be made to /etc/pacman.conf.
Changes will be provided in a file with the extension .pacnew.
Pacman provides the utility pacdiff to manage these files and will use vim -d for comparison if the environment variable DIFFPROG is not set.

pacdiff -s

If you would like to use a different comparison tool you may prepend the env var:

DIFFPROG=meld pacdiff -s

Then sync with the repositories again:

sudo pacman -Syu

And you can also remove the now unused repository.

sudo pacman -Sc

NOTE: Be aware that this last command will also remove all packages in the pacman cache that are not currently installed: in other words, backup copies of packages that you have uninstalled at some point will no longer be stored on your hard drive.

In most cases, this probably will not cause headaches. To prevent even minor aches and pains, see the Arch Wiki for information on cleaning the cache

Steam fails to launch

A while ago the Steam Runtime developer maintaining the library detection/promotion “greatly encouraged” that the Steam package would (opt)depends on lib32-libnm and friends. The bugs have been opened since alas

In the absence of an updated steam package with updated dependencies,
A workaround is to install lib32-libnm

sudo pacman -Syu lib32-libnm

Steam will not launch - #12 by cscs

OpenBLAS >= 0.3.23-2 update requires manual intervention

2023-06-14 - Felix Yan

The openblas package prior to version 0.3.23-2 doesn’t ship optimized LAPACK routine and CBLAS/LAPACKE interfaces for compatibility. This decision has been reverted now, and the ability to choose a different default system BLAS/LAPACK implementation while keeping openblas installed is now provided to allow future co-installation of BLIS, ATLAS, etc.

The default BLAS implementation will be used for most packages like NumPy or R. Please install blas-openblas and blas64-openblas to make OpenBLAS the default BLAS implementation, just like the old behavior.

Unfortunately you will get errors on updating if you currently have OpenBLAS installed as the default BLAS implementation:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency 'blas' required by cblas
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency 'blas' required by lapack

Please append your preferred default BLAS implementation to the regular -Syu command line to get around it. For example:

sudo pacman -Syu blas-openblas

or

sudo pacman -Syu blas

TeX Live package reorganization

2023-06-18 - Antonio Rojas

Starting from version 2023.66594-9, TeX Live packages have been reorganized to mirror upstream collections. Even though the new texlive-basic replaces the old texlive-core, many of the texlive-core contents (including language specific files) are now split between different packages. To find out which Arch package contains a specific CTAN package, you can use the tlmgr utility, eg.

$ tlmgr info euler | grep collection
collection:  collection-latexrecommended

which means the euler CTAN package is contained in texlive-latexrecommended. You may also use pacman -F to query for specific files.

A new metapackage texlive-meta is available to install all subpackages (except for language specific ones), and the new texlive-doc package provides the full documentation for offline use.

Pamac GUI theme does not match theme for Xfce

pamac-gtk 11.0.1 uses Gtk 4 that is not supported by Xfce
user can replace pamac-gtk with pamac-gtk3

sudo pacman -S pamac-gtk3

Black screen after login with SDDM 0.20

Check ~/.profile for any commands that don’t execute properly (but return non-zero exit code instead). May include ~/.bash_profile and .zprofile too. Downgrading to SDDM 0.19 also restores desktop after login.

The issue has been reported upstream.

DKMS is currently broken as our kernels got compiled against an older gcc

Since the last stable update provided an older toolchain our kernels and binaries got compiled against GCC 12.2.0-1. A similar issue was already posted at Arch years ago: [SOLVED] Kernel 5.5.2 is built with the wrong version of gcc / [testing] Repo Forum / Arch Linux Forums. Therefore users of DKMS have to wait for kernel updates compiled against the new toolchain or downgrade to the older one.

Update (2023-06-05): We pushed a rebuild of all regular kernels against the new toolchain to all branches. Real-Time Kernels we still have to check.

Many applications (firefox, thunderbird, telegram, etc) slow to start on desktops other than Gnome

There is a bug with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome (more details here).

Workaround for gtk-based desktops (including Xfce)

sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Workaround for KDE

sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-kde

Workaround for Lxqt

sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt

Workaround for desktops using hyprland

sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

Workaround for desktops using wlroots

sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

If you installed python311 from the AUR, you need to uninstall it before running this update.

GRUB, LUKS and full disk encryption: 'no such cryptodisk found'

Following grub’s update, new configuration may be needed to be manually applied:

• Based on the manual, unlike filesystem UUIDs, UUIDs for encrypted devices must be specified without dash separators. So check /boot/grub/grub.cfg for entries like cryptomount -u 3722dfb2-3b32-414b-bd59-4329fa92b6a9 and try to remove the dash separators. You have to redo that whenever you update a kernel or call update-grub on your own. You can read more about it here
• A message “no such cryptodisk found” may appear on the following reboot, but should not prevent you from continuing by typing any key. This happens if you forgot to remove the dashes in /boot/grub/grub.cfg after update-grub got called.

We may add a alpm-hook to grub package to do that monkey job for you automatically. As an alternative you may reinstall grub, as the newer version can handle both cases, including the dashes.

Switch to the base-devel meta package requires manual intervention

2023-02-12 - Robin Candau

On February 2nd, the base-devel package group has been replaced by a meta package of the same name.
If you installed the base-devel package group prior to this date, explicitly re-install it to get the new base-devel package installed on the system:

pacman -Syu base-devel

vlc player crashes while playing videos

A solution, regarding to rob215x, is:
VLC would crash immediately when trying to play any video. I opened VLC directly, and changed Preferences > Video > Output from “Automatic” to “VDPAU” and it works now. I found that solution on another thread but I still don’t understand the problem and why VDPAU works.

PHP 8.2 update and introduction of legacy branch

2023-01-13 - Pierre Schmitz

The php packages have been updated to the latest version 8.2. In addition to this, a new set of php-legacy packages have been introduced. These will follow the oldest but still actively supported PHP branch. This enables users to install the latest version but also introduces the option to use third party applications that might rely on an older version. Both branches will be kept up to date following our rolling release model. php and php-legacy can be installed at the same time as the latter uses a -legacy suffix for its binaries and configuration files.

In addition to this, the php7 packages have been removed as they reached end of life. The imap extension will no longer be provided as it relies on the c-client library which has been abandoned for many years.

– Arch Linux - News: PHP 8.2 update and introduction of legacy branch

There were some issues with this update, mainly with pamac (gui):

• asus-firmware now conflicts with linux-firmware
• pamac was unable to resolve libxnvcrtl=535.86.05-1 dependency of nvidia-settings
• pamac was unable to resolve libpipewire=1:03.75-2 dependency of pipewire

Workarounds:

• The workaround is to remove asus-firmawe as it seems that it’s files are already provided in linux-firmware now.
• Additionally, pacman -Syu was able to successfully resolve all dependencies. I assume that there is a bug in pamac or libpamac when it comes to the order of installing packages.

This comment should have been highlighted better in previous releases, I nearly missed it:

The community repository has been merged into extra and is now empty

It is an action that should be taken by nearly any user. Compared to all the other issues which most often only affect a small subset of users.

I also had to rerun mkinitcpio -P even tough I don’t/didn’t have zsf-utils installed due to an error message popping up.

I am even more embarrassed now. Tons of pacnew files did build up. Unbelievable that I never thought of that. Senior SWE, using Linux for more than 20 years. This is probably my biggest embarrassment yet.

Going to be fun when I get back from holiday and merge all my pacnew files on ubuntu.

2023-07-24

One core of CPU has high IO-wait operation at 100%

[Unstable Update] 2023-05-21 - Repository changes - #199 by Zesko

Kernel 6.4.4, 6.4.5 and 6.1.39 LTS are affected:
The known issue and report:

• Linux 6.4.4 introduces high IO-Wait CPU operations on one core. / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums
• FS#79177 : Kernel 6.4.4 has regression with high iowait on one core
• It is fixed in Kernel 6.4.6

I don’t think it would be an actual CPU load of 100% on that particular core, though, because if that were the case, then the temperature readout for that particular core would be a lot higher than can be seen in the second screenshot here-above.

On my system, that particular core always runs just a tad hotter than the other cores anyway, but its current temperature readout of 36°C is not consistent with a core that’s genuinely stuck at 100% — in that case, the temperature readout would probably be somewhere in the 40-50°C range.

So whatever’s causing this apparent 100% load is most likely a bug in the kernel code reporting the core temperatures, and according to the 2023-07-25 Testing update thread, the issue was apparently fixed in 6.4.6. I guess no one thought of backporting it to 6.1 as well.

Oh, and on account of mariadb being the cause — which I doubt, although it may be the trigger — replacing it by postgresql is not an option here because I’m running Plasma, and akonadi requires mariadb. I don’t know whether it would be possible to replace mariadb by mysql proper — I’ll have to investigate that — but mysql is an AUR package, and I would rather not replace an essential component for my desktop environment by an AUR package.

[cscs]

pacnew (and pacsave, etc) are a product of ALPM (pacman, pamac, etc) … you wont have them on Ubuntu. But then you cant roll the same Ubuntu install for years and years. Frozen vs Rolling.
(and a care to preserve user configurations)
So a bit of consolation maybe

[cscs]

Its triggered by akonadi (used by Kalendar) … but mariadb is the culprit.

[Unstable Update] 2023-05-21 - Repository changes

Last post on the thread indicates its a mariadb issue (being leveraged by akonadi because of Kalendar) I found the process that was using a lot of IO-Wait to the CPU. It was MariaDB (11.0.2). I use Kalendar as my Calendar program since i use KDE Plasma and this program uses Akonadi which uses MariaDB to store data on it. Can you confirm this ? PS. I leave this here for those who may wish to try a different DB with Akonadi: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#Akonadi

The kernel is doing what it should … reporting had changed slightly.
That said a proposed kernel patch circumvents the issue by narrowing the reports and squashing another unrelated bug.

It is not fixed in 6.4.6. The Arch Linux Bug Report mentions a LKML thread (without a link) that suggests it is not a Kernel error. However, there is a patch that fixes the problem inside the kernel. The patch comment suggest the high iowait is just a cosmetic issue.

The patch is at the moment not merged, so it is also not backported to any version.

If there is a patch that fixes it inside the kernel — and I already knew about this — then it is a kernel issue.

@xabbu

Yes, that much is true, as I said in my previous post. If it were a genuine 100% load, then the temperature readout for that particular CPU core would be a lot higher, as would the total temperature be for the entire processor chip.

Still, cosmetic or not, it’s annoying.
