[Stable Update] 2023-12-13 - Kernels, Blender, KDE Gear, Pamac 11.7, Python, Haskell

Hi,

pamac is clearly more reactive than before but we must click on a package to see details in the main window.

Before it show the selected package details in a right panel and I found it much better.

Is it possible for Manjaro Team to make some change or do I need to put an upstream request for it?

Wish You well

No, the pamac behaviour is better now. There is no right panel until you select a package. That makes more sense.

This is anyway not the channel for this discussion. a Better place would be the Feedback category, in my opinion.

Also, even though I don’t use the pamac GUI, I do agree with @ara.

No internet at all on 6.6.5 or 5.1.5.

There is still the older UI as pamac-gtk3. pamac-gtk however follows latest Gnome standards.

Session locking and switching is still broken on XFCE with 545 Nvidia drivers,

I’d like to try and isolate what causes it, would anyone know the best way to switch to the 535 driver (if those are supported by manjaro)?

Edit:

After 2023-12-01 I can not get in to a timed out session

I updated today and had this message at the end:

==> Generating module dependencies
==> Creating gzip-compressed initcpio image: '/boot/initramfs-5.10-x86_64-fallback.img'
==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete.

I am not really clear what the issue is…everything seems to be working as normal. Any ideas?

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, and concerns kernels 5.10 & 5.15, but no idea for the initial cause has been produced and no patch either !

I see. I have some older kernels installed and I noticed this was only an issue for 5.10. So I guess I will install a newer kernel before I reboot. Thanks!

Thank you for the update.
Just a minor annyoance.
I noticed that I can’t access folders named “?” anywhere in the folder name in Dolphin (I’m on KDE Plasma and still waiting for a Powerdevil fix solution on their side). No issue doing so in Nemo.
Dolphin shows the thumbnails that are contained in the folder however and can create folders named “?”. Probably should report it.
I made that folder sorting old stuff just before this and the update before, so beg. of Dec. Hence I’m certain that it had worked then.

The Kernel of the Beast appears to have solved the little problem the previous version brought, about not shutting down… as planned.

Very neat work, and I commend your speed, dear ladies and gentlemen. On certain proprietary OSs I’ve tried, this would have taken longer than at least my laptop has to live.

That’s a long time problem for folders and files using Windows formats, NTFS, FAT etc So I just avoid using “?” in names

EDIT: seems related to things being broken on XFCE with the 545 drivers, openbox or Cinnamon do no seem to have this problem, and replacing xfwm by openbox on XFCE maker the bug no longer happen

I had the same problem with my previous 2 updates, and I have removed 5.10 LTS and 5.15 LTS.
Now I have only 6.1 LTS and 6.6 LTS and everything is ok, without errors.

Regarding, mkinitcpio error message, with hook kms and kernel 5.10, it seems, at this time, to be reporting an error when it probably should be a warning. Testing, if I remove kms from the mkinitcpio.conf HOOKS, the error message does not appear. I captured the verbose output of mkinitcpio, but nothing jumps out as what might be missing. At this time, I’m just ignoring the error message on kernel 5.10.

This archlinux entry, "SOLVED: mkinitcpio exits with code 1 after upgrade from 36 to 37", describes the issue and points to bug report.

Kernel 5.10 doesn’t EOL until 12/2026.

The issue was probably introduced with the upgrade of mkinitcpio to 37 on the 2023-11-21 Stable Update.

A minor problem after the latest upgrade on my xfce-installation:
upgrade of xfce4-power-manager (4.18.2-1 → 4.18.3-1) stopped the ability to switch off the display of my laptop by mouse-scrolling in the panel. Downgrading fixed it.

Seeing as it works on 6.1, I’d say don’t worry, as 6.1 will be supported for 10 years:

This still is an issue also after this update.
