[Stable Update] 2024-08-08 - Kernels, Nvidia, Mesa, AMDVLK, Firefox, Thunderbird, Pipewire, Wine

I have installed Manjaro (Gnome) on my company notebook which is rolled out in a domain. After the update, the sssd service could no longer be started. As a result, I could no longer log in with my user. I suspect that it has something to do with the samba update.
I have now switched to “unstable”, the login works again, but I can no longer access samba shares.

One thing I have noticed is that some info is missing from acpi -V output; notably it used to show the manufacturer (Sanyo). Using 6.6LTS kernel. I’ll try this with other installed kernels when I get a suitable opportunity.

$ acpi -V
Battery 0: Not charging, 95%
Battery 0: design capacity 3840 mAh, last full capacity 3839 mAh = 99%
Adapter 0: on-line
Thermal 0: ok, 49.0 degrees C
Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 200.0 degrees C
Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 2: x86_pkg_temp no state information available
Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 4: intel_powerclamp 0 of 100
Cooling 5: Processor 0 of 10

I don’t know if it was from this or a previous update or remember what other details were shown.

(Note there is no issue with the battery, it looks to be in great health and I do have the charge threshold set to 95% currently).

had the same issue, resolved downgrading

Hello, I am currently using nvidia + kernel 6.9 so I tried installing kernel 6.6 before the update but I am not able to. Using the UI gives me the following message:

The following packages will be installed:
linux66
linux66-nvidia

Starting

:: installing nvidia-utils (550.107.02-1) breaks dependency 'nvidia-utils=550.90.07' required by linux69-nvidia


Done ...

It says “done” but the kernel does not get installed.

Using the command sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux66 asks me to do the full upgrade before:

$ sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux66                                                             ✔ 
[sudo] password for USER: 
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
The following packages are out of date, please update your system first: acpi acpid ...

What would be the best practice to not break my system?

  • Update using pacman, install kernel with the command then reboot
  • Update using pacman, reboot, then install kernel with the command
  • Use the mhwd-kernel command to install the kernel and the rest of the update then reboot

I am currently on kernel 6.9.5-1-MANJARO (64-bit) (missed the last update).

Thanks for your help.

If you are using linux69 there is no immediate concern as the kernel has not been removed yet.

So simply running - preferably in a TTY

sudo pacman -Syu

After that your nvidia should be in sync and you can move to the next kernel 6.6LTS or 6.10 what you prefer.

Thanks for the info, I got scared by the phrase If you use Linux 6.9 and Nvidia or inside a virtual machine, it is of great importance, that you install Linux 6.6 or Linux 6.10 to avoid driver problems. in the wiki post.

EDIT: I was able to update, reboot, install 6.10 and reboot. Everything is working without issue thanks.

I’m getting the same on my /dev/sda in Unstable.
Doesn’t seem to have an effect on the system so far…

Some sort of regression, perhaps

Edit: Seems that application have some catching up to do with a fix that was made in kernel

Things went well on my laptop, but my desktop update process had an issue at the mkinitcpio process…

Yikes! Confirmed this was true

Learned online I needed to reinstall the kernels to put the preset files back in place.

Plasma wayland has almost invisible tiny icon in status and notification tray for HiDPI screen where as my another system with 1080p monitor setup is unaffected.

On my Minisforum UM690 - 6.11 RC1 – boots to Black screen with movable pointer. Works well on my Lenovo(AMD) & Dell(Intel) Tablets. All running KDE/Wayland

I ran into this as well - found a temp. fix on the Arch forums which stated to downgrade samba and smbclient to the previous versions as the newer releases have ABI compatibility problems.

Downgrading samba and smbclient to 4.20.2 fixed this for me.

I installed the update on 8th and didn’t notice any issues at first. However today I discovered that all my libvirt VMs are experiencing weird network issues, like the connection is degraded or throttled.
For example: When I’m trying to upload a folder to the local NAS from guest Windows using SMB I’m getting unexpected error 0x8007003B.
I think I eliminated the possibility of this being issue with my NAS or router as the issue is persistent no matter if I use NAT or bridged connection.
Issue doesn’t occur If I boot Windows on bare metal or passthrough the Ethernet Controller as a device.

It’s a known problem with the current libvirt version, and has already amply been reported here. Please search the forum.

No need to research too deep, it is right in the beginning of this topic.

With due respect. Change with “firewall_backend = “iptables”” didn’t work for me, was one of the first things I checked.
I did however found ONE topic which suggests to use “virtio-net” Host: Manjaro, Guest: Artix Linux, Issue: No virtio NAT connection on VM (KVM, qemu, libvirt, virt-manager, connman) - #8 by Teo which appears to be working for me. So I guess I had to dig slightly below the surface, as I don’t see it mentioned in this topic.
No need to be so dismissive just because I have like 4 posts on forums, I can read pinned threads :slight_smile: (PS: There’s a slight difference between completely lacking the connection and having the connection degraded)
