[Stable Update] 2023-12-10 - Kernels, Plasma, Phosh, Systemd, Cinnamon, Gnome, libpamac

[Olli_GT]

Network problems (often no connection/reconnecting) with WLAN an kernel 6.6.5-1.
V6.1.66-1 seems fine

Network:
Device-1: Intel Wireless 7265 driver: iwlwifi v: kernel pcie: gen: 1
speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 1 bus-ID: 02:00.0 chip-ID: 8086:095a class-ID: 0280

EDIT: After 4th reboot (or 1st 6.6 boot after testing with 6.1) no problems anymore under kernel 6.6.5
No explanation for this. WLAN and WAN were OK for the whole time…

PostgreSQL-User please note, that this UPdate changes major version from 15 to 16 and needs special preparation (ref. f.e here)!

Had this issue. Thanks!

I got an error message in the “Updating linux initcpios” part (look at the end):

Is it safe to just reboot or do I have to do something?

Is it safe to just reboot or do I have to do something?

Before rebooting, be sure to have another kernel, like a LTS one : 6.1 or 6.6. This error occurred with one of the last update that you probably skipped.

[eddier]

As per some other recent posts, I have run into a system freeze problem that seems related to WiFi and recent updates. Unable to obtain INXI details as system becomes unresponsive before I can try. WiFi is constantly trying to connect, system settings presents as a completely empty ‘box’.

Removed WiFi card (Asus AC56!), used a dongle to install Kernel 67. Reinserted card and restarted, Bingo!

[Fafnir]

after this update i can’t either reboot or shutdown.
follow message appear on the screen:

a stop job is running for WPA suppliant
info: task kworker blocked for more then 122 seconds
Not tainted 6.6.5-1-Manjaro #1
what can I do?

[nyankas]

Interesting issue with ibus 1.5.29-2: Using some keyboard layouts seems to break specific inputs completely in applications which use ibus.
I’m using a German layout, specifically German (no dead keys), but it seems to happen with all of the German layouts.
In Blender, for example, Shift + 1 correctly produces !, Shift + 2 correctly produces ", but Shift + 3 doesn’t produce §, instead resulting in an error message in Blender’s output:

Bad keycode lookup. Keysym 0x0 Status: XLookupNone
'' 0x7f7c3ede9280 0x7f7c5e77fe00

The same is also true for Shift + ^, which should result in °, but produces the same error message. Shift + 4 works again.

I suspect, only characters not present in a default US layout are affected (maybe it has something to do with my system language being set to English (United States)?).

Downgrading to ibus 1.5.28-4 completely resolves this issue.

@Kobold

I also use eddie-ui (AUR) 2.21.8, really strange that version 2.23.2-1 is shown up for you… because 2.21.8 is the newest stable and 2.23.2 is still Beta and shouldn’t available for you as stable package… i also looked at the official website and double checked that 2.21.8 is still the newest stable, even for AppImage.

you are right, mine is beta (the last before stable) I use to test every beta version as it comes out

[miku1]

same problem here

[expat]

Same problem here. Happens both with 6.1.66-1 and 6.6.5-1 kernels. Have to force power off the machine to get it to stop. What appears to be hanging the system is two stop jobs, one for Network Manager and the other for WPA supplicant. On both processes, when the timer runs to the 1 min 31 sec limit, the timer resets for 3 min 1 sec. and resets again when this limit is reached.

Have 5.15.142-1, 6.1.66-1 and 6.6.5-1 LTS kernels installed. Before this update machine ran without the shutdown problem on 6.1 LTS kernel . After the update I installed the LTS, 6.6.5-1. both the 6.1 and 6.6 LTS kernels have this shutdown fault. I will use the 5.15 LTS kernel until this is resolved.

[oldpond]

Also got this with Linux 6.6.5-1. Moved to Linux 6.7.0rc4-6 Experimental and problem solved.

[ChrisCanyon]

I resolved that conflict with :

sudo pacman -Rdd dotnet-runtime
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S dotnet-runtime-7.0

[Yochanan]

@Kobold

2.21.8 is the newest stable and 2.23.2 is still Beta

Technically, you’re right. However the “stable” version is buggy and didn’t work well for me. He’s using my PKGBUILD which…

@Yochanan

…uses msbuild with .NET Framework 4.8 instead of xbuild with 4.5 as the latter is deprecated.

[cannium]

Got 2 problems:

1. bluetooth is not working anymore. Tried both 6.1, 6.3, and 6.6 series kernels. My laptop is using “rtw_8852be” module for bluetooth and wifi driver.

2. restarting computer needs manually touch the power button

[Arrababiski]

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. No network (neither wireless nor wired), mouse moves but buttons do nothing. With prior kernel (6.6.3) had no problems. I have to use REISUB to restart, if I repeat wifi on/off again, the computer also freezes. Then switched to kernel 5.15.142 and everything works fine again so it must be something 6.6 kernel related, I will stay on 5.15 and wait for next 6.6 update.

[stenosis]

I can conform the problem on my machine too. Shutdown/Restart/Suspend does not work anymore expect on the latest 6.7.0rc kernel.

[Yochanan]

We’re going a bit off-topic here, by the way.
