[Fafnir]

thank you, that do the trick.

I’ve solved mine with this one too. Thank you:)

How did you switch the kernel… I’m not able to boot into the desktop.

[HowTo] Resolve an unbootable Manjaro (black screen, login failed, cant boot, etc)

When we have problems gaining access to our systems it is difficult to gather information, let alone fix any problems. Here we will cover common causes and solutions to ‘manjaro wont boot’. TTY If your desktop does not load properly then you might still be able to use most, if not all, functionality by dropping to a non-graphical TTY. By default your system will have multiple TTYs, with each corresponding to an Fx key. Your desktop is assigned to one as well - most often F1. You can chang…

Kernel 6.6.5-1: if I switch on wifi (RTL8192EE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter) in NetworkManager and then switch off, the computer becomes unresponsive.

Here are the changes of 6.6.4 and 6.6.5. 6.6.5 introduced those patches:

-rw-r–r–	r8169-fix-deadlock-on-rtl8125-in-jumbo-mtu-mode.patch	2011	logstatsplain
-rw-r–r–	r8169-prevent-potential-deadlock-in-rtl8169_close.patch

check if 6.7 series works.

Upcoming 6.6.6 may have those additional patches:

-rw-r–r–	r8152-add-rtl8152_inaccessible-checks-to-more-loops.patch	2545	logstatsplain
-rw-r–r–	r8152-add-rtl8152_inaccessible-to-r8153_aldps_en.patch	1414	logstatsplain
-rw-r–r–	r8152-add-rtl8152_inaccessible-to-r8153_pre_firmware.patch	1397	logstatsplain
-rw-r–r–	r8152-add-rtl8152_inaccessible-to-r8156b_wait_loadin.patch	1378	logstatsplain
-rw-r–r–	r8152-hold-the-rtnl_lock-for-all-of-reset.patch	3467	logstatsplain
-rw-r–r–	r8169-fix-rtl8125b-pause-frames-blasting-when-suspended.patch	2889	logstatsplain

All kernels of 6.6 series can also been found on our github project: Releases · manjaro-kernels/linux66 · GitHub

I also got this error…

Are the shutdown problems with the LTS kernels >515 also on suspend/hibernate/resume actions?

postgresql seems to have been updated - the database needs upgrading…
I just deleted mine and recreated it.

@philm

check if 6.7 series works.

I’m testing 6.7.0rc4-6 now and everything seems to work fine, wifi can be switched on-off over and over without freezes.

[ivoshm]

Looks like the “Wifi causing hangup” problem is more generic than specific to a particular chipset:

• RTL8192EE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter - [Stable Update] 2023-12-10 - Kernels, Plasma, Phosh, Systemd, Cinnamon, Gnome, libpamac - #46 by Arrababiski
• TPLINK Archer T4U RTL8822BU - Several problems after 2023.12.10 Stable Update
• Broadcom BCM4331 (Macbook Pro) - Wifi not working and system freezes after 2032.12.10 Stable Update (MBP)
• Broadcom BCM4360 - WiFi problems after 2032.12.10 Stable Update
• and even me with MEDIATEK MT7922

But it looks like the problem is currently mitigated in 6.7 branch … more tests needed.

Kernel 6.1.66-1 is also affected. Any tree that back-ported 7e7efdda6adb wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range use that does not contain 076fc8775daf wifi: cfg80211: remove wdev mutex (which does not apply cleanly to 6.6.y or 6.6.1) will be affected. Upstream solution so far: [PATCH] wifi: nl80211: fix deadlock in nl80211_set_cqm_rssi (6.6.x) — Linux Stable Kernel Updates

If anyone other than me is using rtl-sdr dongles (quite possibly not, as they’re fairly niche), the latest update introduces a change which seems to cause problems in some circumstances. There’s a new group “rtlsdr” and it seems this causes problems unless a user accessing the dongles has been added to that group.
I need to do a little more testing to confirm adding the user to rtlsdr is the final fix (I have to wait until some radio timeshifting jobs release my dongles). I’ll come back with my answer in a few hours.

[Edit]: this does seem to solve the problem.

KDE Gear 23.08.4 got added

Not so. Dolphin, Gwenview, Kate etc are still at 23.08.3.

[philm]

Upstream released new kernels as we speak with the offending patch reverted. I simply triggered those: [Regression] 6.1.66, 6.6.5 - wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range use

After the update my DE used a completely different icon set. Turns out the ePapirus icon theme got split into its own package and since the files for it disappeared my DE used a fallback theme.

To fix it, you can either select the papirus icon theme, which you should still have installed and is very similar, or you can install the epapirus-icon-theme package to get the exact icons previously in use back.

@LaughingMan

After the update my DE …

And what DE ? is with the failing the ePapirus icons?

[LaughingMan]

I’d assume something similar happens regardless of the specific DE as it’s about the icon theme you have selected. But to answer your question: Cinnamon.

Same problem here using Kernel: 6.1.66-1-MANJARO. No problem if I boot using Kernel: 5.10.203-1-MANJARO.
