[Stable Update] 2024-01-13 - Kernels, Systemd, Qt5, Mesa, Dbus, Firefox, Thunderbird

[Arrababiski]

@philm, does this update change anything about gpu hardware acceleration? I told you this because after the update, Brave browser and Chromium show strange artifacts on screen while browsing as I shown before in this thread:

[Stable Update] 2024-01-13 - Kernels, Systemd, Qt5, Mesa, Dbus, Firefox, Thunderbird

Well, something weird happened to me with this update. Installation this morning was successful, dbus-broker as default, kernel 6.6.10-1, restart, no errors, I can login, network ok, internet ok, it seemed another boring update. I noticed the problems while browsing internet (Brave Browser). Strange artifacts appear on screen as you can see in these screenshots: [1b] [2b] [3b] First the screen was ok and as I move the mouse, suddenly this artifacts appear. Reading newspapers with…

Even appear weird images as seen here:

Disabling hardware acceleration in browser (Settings → Systems → Disable hardware acceleration when available) the problems disappear.

And Videolan VLC before the update played AVI (xvid codec) or MKV (264 or 265 codec) files without problem. Hardware acceleration was set in “Auto”. After the update plays MKV files but not AVI, there’s sound but only a black screen.

Disabling hardware acceleration in Tools → Preferences → Input & Codecs → Codecs → Hardware-accelerated decoding plays AVI files again.

And seems I’m not the only one with this issue:

VLC black screen but audio playing(any video format)

Whatever video i try to run on vlc, just blackscreens on me. The audio plays normally, the video track is correct, but the vieo output is black. I suspect this might be some driver error. This issue seems to persist in any video format be it mp4, mkv or even m3u8. mpv player shows no such signs though. This is what i got after running a video on vlc via terminal: vlc test.mp4 …

All this happen after the update. Brave, Chromium or VLC weren’t updated, so must be caused by another package. If I restore the timeshift snapshot made before the update, browsers work without problems and VLC plays all files as usual.

@Arrababiski seems mesa is not your friend. What GPU you’re using?

I restored again the timeshift snapshot made before the update and worked fine again. Repeated the update choosing dbus-daemon instead of dbus-broker (only for testing) but the artifacts reappear.

Copying data from USB stick via dolphin to the system is also very slow …
I guess there is a problem with the new kernel, I’ll test the LTS straight away also because of the shutdown issue.

edit

Yes, the issue with copying from usb stick is caused by the new kernel, the problem does not occur with 6.6.10.
The shutdown problem is probably caused by a systemd thing …

[hannodv]

Worked for me as well. On my side dual-boot was broken as well, but sudo grub-mkconfig fixed that too.

You’re right. I restored again the timeshift snapshot from before the update, repeat all the update except these ten packages and after the reboot had no problem, no artifacts, VLC plays AVI again.

lib32-libva-mesa-driver-1:23.3.3-1
lib32-mesa-1:23.3.3-1
lib32-mesa-vdpau-1:23.3.3-1
lib32-vulkan-intel-1:23.3.3-1
lib32-vulkan-radeon-1:23.3.3-1
libva-mesa-driver-1:23.3.3-1
mesa-1:23.3.3-1
mesa-vdpau-1:23.3.3-1
vulkan-intel-1:23.3.3-1
vulkan-radeon-1:23.3.3-1

So I’ll include these packages in IgnorePkg from pacman.conf and wait for the next mesa release to see if works well. Thanks!

@XJia

After reboot, I see my kernel is still 6.1.71. 6.6.10 is recommended but it’s not upgraded automatically? Should I upgrade to that manually?

You could do that. See Manjaro Kernels.

Or, if kernel 6.6.10 was actually installed, you might just need to select it from the Grub boot menu.

[frgo]

There is weird issue when saving files from web browsers (firefox, chrome) on smb share… files are corrupted or fail when saving. I don’t see such issues outside web browsers for now. Also there are no problems with nfs shares or local disks.

[Davide89]

Hi,

After the update, the reboot was ok. Just a little issue: after few second any icons disappeared in the desktop. The background image is like before the update, at the moment any programs works well…but no icon (trash bin, shortcut to programs, files) are presents. My desktop is completely empty.
Below some details, that I hope could help you to help me.
Thank’s in advance.

System freezes after this update

Hi all,
after this update and select “dbus-broker” my system with kernel 6.7 freezes for about 20 seconds, then it works for about 3-5 seconds and then it freezes again for about 20 seconds and so on.

With kernel 6.6.x it works without any problems.
I see in journalctl this:

can you help me, please

[ARSManiac]

Update with no issues here, tho I selected dbus-daemon-units since it’s still supported.

[majik]

hey @Rmano - did simply clicking ‘choose’ and proceeding with the update reveal any problems in pamac’s log?

also, can you check whether dbus-broker and/or dbus-daemon are installed?

ps: i just did sudo pacman -Syu to update and this prompts for the dbus choice

[cluster]

hmm, noticed something else unusual …
memory consumption has increased significantly since the update
system monitor → processes shows many processes which now use lots of memory e.g. Thunderbird 430 MiB, about 10 Chromium processes with 290 MiB each, Plasmashell 390MiB etc.

[Rmano]

Hm. Can you please tell me where I can find the log?

pamac info dbus-broker say it’s installed (as a dependency of dbus-broker-units) so yes, it seems that it has chosen the default

[Kobold]

As i said, i use MBR and i dont have EFI.

When i take a look at my Boot-Partition, i see the mkinitcpio.conf and also the fallback file is stored there.

I dont have enough space, even when i deactivate the fallback file. And im not sure if i want to disable it, because im not aware what the backstep is, i need atleast 180MB for only mkinitcpio.conf and this is a ridicules big size for such files.

Anyways i try to evade this problem as long as possible with the much smaller LTS Kernels… lucky that the previous Kernel 6.6 is LTS.

[Teo]

Having only 200MB for /boot is extremely bad idea. Don’t know where did you got this stupid idea from. Try to fix it if you want to have a working system. The best solution will be to move /boot back to the root / where it is by default in the first place instead of a separate partition.

[Kobold]

Before i started Linux, I asked in a PC Forum (Computerbase.de) for tipps, how to install Manjaro and it was their suggestion how i should do to install Manjaro with custom install settings.

It was indeed a stupid idea/help and i regret it pretty soon… but i don’t wanted to reinstall my system after i realised it.

@Teo

The best solution will be to move /boot back to the root / where it is by default in the first place instead of a separate partition.

How can i archive this goal? Should i backup my files in /boot partition? And remove my partition after, and then i create a boot folder in root and just copy this and stuff into it?

Actually when i look into my root directory, at looks like a boot folder is already created in root, but i think its a mirror or something like that from my /boot partition… but when i click on my /boot partition in dolphin it leading me to the exact same path, its a little confusing for me.

Its the same story with my /home folder in root, it should be a partition, but it looks as a normal folder when i browse from root to home or boot it all looks like a folder.

I don’t get it, i normaly would expect a symlink in this situations.

Anyways in short, when i remove the /boot partition will / (root)>boot folder step in place and will instant boot from there or do i have to adjust some files (editing pathing) in Grub or Fstab maybe?

[tracyanne]

After the update I noticed audio drop outs on BlueTooth.

I rolled back from Kernel 6.6.10-1 to kernel 6.1.71-1 and the drop outs stopped.
