After upgrading (in tty) and reboot and everything loaded, that icon telling you about whether there are updates available was missing and a notification telling me the following:
Launching Add/Remove Software (Failed)
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply
timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Rebooting again and the icon showed up (bright red). Trying to upgrade some AUR thing that was left behind: python-pyrsistent. Not sure what I installed to drag that in, but it complained about some missing setuptools.build_meta, investigating that I had to upgrade jaraco.functools and wheel, and now everything seems to be in order.
If I remember to check this after work tomorrow (testing our GIS systems after weekend system maintenance), I might try and find out if itâs anything worth keeping or if I can throw it out. I recall I installed some Solitaire and a Mahjong game a while ago, might be one of those. Itâs already after midnight here, I need to go to sleep. Time flies when youâre having fun. 8)
Well, I know that the Nvidia 550 driver series should support the 6.12 kernel series. However 470xx and 390xx are not. We tried to patch those drivers as needed. However, it seems we failed on that one. So users who have issues and booting to a black screen may need to speak up and state the exact used driver versions they have and report it here: Patch for 565.57.01 + Linux kernel 6.12 - Linux - NVIDIA Developer Forums
The update went smoothly, but Iâve starting having tabs die in Firefox. I get the message " Gah. Your tab just crashed."
I captured a core dump and my system details here.
1st update: So, Iâve been monitoring the journal as I use Firefox, and I continue to see core dumps like the one I included in my first link. Generally, Firefox continues to run and except in the case where a tab dies, you wouldnât even know there is an issue unless you are looking at the journal logs. This is definitely something that was not happening prior to this latest update.
I wish I could thank you enough! You have no idea how many hours Iâve spent today trying to solve that problem. I was in the middle (or ending) of the update process (within a terminal window of my XFCE) when my machine just rebooted and started a infinity loop process during the boot.
Iâve uninstalled and reinstalled TLP, LightDM and a few kernels⊠and nothing changed. I was already considering nuking my installation and starting over again.
When I saw your tip about the â-/_â switch I doubted that it could be that simple⊠and it was! I just renamed the file to " libpixbufloader-svg.so" and rebooted. For my surprise everything was back to normal. Amazing!!!
Stupid and apparently insignificant mistake in the file name that will cause a lot of headache for a bunch of people.
I agree there are some apps that are better in dark mode.
Itâs not the setting thatâs the issue. It doesnât matter what itâs set to, Firefox starts in dark mode. Itâs only when I toggle the setting (to either âlet app decideâ or âprefer light modeâ) after itâs started that Firefox shows in light mode. This is also true of some Qt apps (Sigil, Calibre), but not all (not Flacon, Kasts, Zoom).
Before I had the same theme configured in Kvantum and this wasnât an issue. I suppose I should take this to Cinnamon, but I thought itâd be good to know if other people were having this problem here.
I built new ISOs so people can test this update from a fresh starting point. I also want to know if the provided Nvidia drivers work on 6.12 kernel. However, there are also builds with 6.11 kernel.
rebooted. did not work
ran the command again. reboot. still not working
the command shows 2 AUR packages
pulseaudio-ctl 1.70-2 (1.70-1) AUR
v86d 0.1.10-13 (0.1.10-8) AUR
btw the pamac GUI crashed during the update, but it still worked in backround. i waited til i could use the update command in terminal (it was blocked by pamac) and rebooted. if this helps in any way
You might find that replacing pamac-gtk with pamac-gtk3 works better. GTK3 apps work well with Plasma; GTK4 apps, which are dependent on Adwaita, donât work so well.
By default, the packages downloaded during an update are stored in /var/cache/pacman/pkg, and normally, the last three generations of the packages will be kept there â older packages will be deleted. You can make more room by deleting the cache entirely.
sudo paccache -rvk0
The above command is verbose, and it will tell you how much space has been freed up.
