[Stable Update] 2025-08-30 - Kernels, ROCm, Firefox, Steam, PHP

I have a 7800x3d CPU and a 7800xt GPU and I do not have any problems with games using opengl/vulkan. The only thing that is currently not working is ollama with a local llm. I can start the server and also the llm, but whenever I interact with it, I just get the following error:

SIGSEGV: segmentation violation
PC=0x7efede9c4640 m=16 sigcode=1 addr=0x28
signal arrived during cgo execution

Was working just fine before the update.

that was the instructions… i dont need it now. everything is zfs except /boot/efi.

I uninstalled the intel vulkan drivers and it’s not crashing anymore. I don’t know why those were there in the first place or why it only started being a problem after this update but the issue is no longer happening.

After the latest Update my system ist broken. i can logging with my password, but then my Display showing “No Signal”.

I am using manjaro Gnome with AMD grapic card

Interesting. For whatever reason vulkan-intel is also installed for me, but it does not seem to cause any issues at least with games.

Update: Might have been pulled as an optional dependency of steam.

I uninstalled Intel Vulkan drivers but I am still facing an issue with ollama: After ROCm Upgrade, HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION to 10.3.0 Causes SIGSEGV After Receiving Prompt; No Override Works, But Falls Back to CPU · Issue #12111 · ollama/ollama · GitHub

Thanks for linking the bug report. So I guess it is ollama or rocm. Nothing to do but downgrade/wait for an update.

It’s the Arch Linux ROCm 6.4.3 packaging, there’s something wrong with the build flags. There are numerous issues open about it (ollama is a wrapper for llama.cpp);

Arch needs to rebuild the whole rocm stack with !strip

KBackup is working now again without errors. Thats nice!
(Since May error by create recovery information)

Answer to myself.

Problem is solved by downgrading mesa and lib32-mesa from 25.2.1-1 to 25.1.7-1.

Pasma boots fine with wayland and kernel 6.16 after downgrade.

So, it seems to be a bug in mesa with recent kernels 6.17, 6.16 and 6.12 (but not 6.1) and/or nouveau driver.

…or discover why strip is stripping too much :wink: - that could create tons of problems across everything…

The update just now to ROCm 6.4.3-3 has resolved the issue, I am now getting replies back again.

I cannot update using pacman due to:

I tried:

pacman -Qo /usr/libexec

Anyone else having a similar problem?

It’s a directory. :point_down:

[nx-74205:/dev/pts/3][/home/aragorn]
[aragorn] >  ls -l /usr/libexec/
total 4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 651 Aug  3 14:49 cpupower

[nx-74205:/dev/pts/3][/home/aragorn]
[aragorn] >  pacman -Qo "/usr/libexec"
/usr/libexec/ is owned by cpupower 6.16-1

Use the old trick… :point_down:

sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite="/usr/libexec"

Can confirm. After the rocm update, ollama does not crash anymore after a prompt and the model is free to hallucinate again. :wink:

I run gnome with AMD gpu.
After sign in the screen goes black.
I read other people seem to have this issue too and possible fix is to remove the intel vulkan drivers?
Could the known issues please be updated to alert of this issue and include the correct fix to apply?
Thank in advance.

Based on your info you still note an NVIDIA card. If it is AMDGPU you can try with removing the vulkan driver for Intel, but it also can be some issue with the mesa 25.2.x update …

Info was outdated xD
I tried uninstalling vulkan-intel and lib32-vulkan-intel but issue persists.
journal contains no clear indication what goes wrong

You can try to update your kernel to a newer one like 6.12 series, which also might bring newer amdgpu drivers. Or try to downgrade your mesa drivers back to 25.1.x series using the applications downgrade or manjaro-downgrade
