[Stable Update] 2023-09-18 - Kernels, Mesa, Pipewire, Systemd, LibreOffice, KDE, Thunderbird

Following this update 6.1 and 5.15 did not load the r8168 driver (which I believe was default when I installed) and my wired ethernet would not work. switched to the r8169 and now it is working fine.

I have the same problem. How Can I solve this?
Thank you

Welcome! :vulcan_salute:

Read the post again that you are replying to. The answer is right there. :wink:

Remove the r8168 driver from your system by way of the Manjaro Settings Manager, make sure r8169 is not blacklisted anymore under /etc/modprobe.d, and reboot your system.

Should probably be added to Known issues and solutions.

Hey,

started to get this:

Sep 18 16:57:25 XXX systemd-vconsole-setup[449]: /usr/bin/setfont failed with exit status 66.

Sep 18 16:57:25 XXX systemd[1]: systemd-vconsole-setup.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Anyone an idea? Thx


Moderator edit: In the future, please use proper formatting: [HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text

You have a font configured which doesn’t seem to be installed (anymore):

$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-116n.psf.gz 
/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-116n.psf.gz is owned by terminus-font 4.49.1-6

So either install terminus-font or remove ter-116n as a configured font (from /etc/vconsole.conf or kernel commandline, whatever you were using there).

So far so good, the update went well, no issues to report.

After the update my mouse is constantly freezing, doesn’t seem like the system is freezing since I can hit the start menu button on keyboard during a mouse freeze and that works. Not sure where to look to fix, any suggestions are welcome.

EDIT: Turns out it was my KVM Switch acting up.

After update plymouth does not start anymore. “Resolved” by removing splash from CMDLINE

systemd[1]: Failed to start Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen.

As I can no longer comment on the older topics I am posting here.

Recently (IIRC at the latest the 2023-08-29 update) I am having delay issues with my Bluetooth headphones. Watching YouTube videos in either Chromium or Firefox or local files in VLC experience the same issue. It’s <1s off and is very noticeable if somebody speaks and thus I am no longer able to watch anything with somebody talking in it. It does not occur when I use the built speaker. Restarting the system/video, seeking in the video does not affect it. Same with turning the phones off/on, removing and re-registering them.

Something that might be related to it that there’s a delay from when the headphone indicate they are connected until the audio starts. That delay got much bigger recently as well so it seems it desyncs during the actual connect.

I am running the 6.5 kernel but also have the same issue using the 6.1 LTS one.

The issue does not happen when using a live system generated from the manjaro-kde-22.1.3-230529-linux61.iso.

:package: Rebuilds for the r8168 modules are incoming that should fix the issues folks were having.

:information_source: If you already removed r8168 and r8169 is working for you, then there’s nothing to do.

Same here. gnome-logs are empty.

Following the 9-18-23 update I had no WAN access although LAN was fine. I use PIA vpn service which is connected at boot. I found that if I disconnected from PIA, WAN access returned. I went into the client config and switched from wireguard to openvpn and was able to connect to the vpn with WAN access again. Seems the update broke wireguard?

I should mention using the xfce version.

I’m still having the issue that appeared with the previous update. KDE messes up my screen layout (laptop with a secondary screen) on every reboot, resume and second screen plugging/unplugging to my laptop.

Hello,

After upgrading to 2023-09-18, I had a problem with Openfortigui, or any software using PPP to connect to Fortinet VPNSSL (probably others VPN but I can not say). The error message is “Peer refused to agree to his IP address”.

This is a known issue :

So the solution is to rollback ppp and networkmanager-pptp :
downgrade 'ppp=2.4.9-3' 'networkmanager-pptp=1.2.12-1'

Regards.
