After performing a system upgrade, I encountered several minor issues that I was able to resolve.
I currently use Plasma with X11. Since I had previously read the announcement regarding X11, I had installed plasma-x11-session to ensure continued X11 support. However, during the upgrade pacman required me to remove it in order to proceed.
Before rebooting, I reinstalled plasma-x11-session.
After rebooting, I experienced a few small issues, such as certain Arch applications failing to start (resolved by reinstalling them) and packages that were no longer in the repositories (removed along with their orphaned dependencies).
The system initially started a Wayland session by default, but after logging out and selecting X11, the session started normally. I also reconfigured auto-login to X11 from System Settings as a precaution.
I did encounter one particularly annoying issue: at every boot, the system displayed the warning “unable to resume from xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”.
Since I never use hibernation, this was unexpected. I resolved it using the following steps:
-
Executed
sudo swapoffandsudo swaponto clear the swap. -
Updated
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf, replacing the HOOKS line with the values from the.pacnewfile and addingresumemanually.
Final configuration:
HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap sd-vconsole block filesystems fsck resume) -
Ran
sudo mkinitcpio -P. -
Created a backup of the GRUB configuration with:
sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/grub.cfg.backup -
Regenerated the GRUB configuration using:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
After these steps, the issue was resolved.
So far, I haven’t noticed any additional problems, although I still need to finish reviewing the system.
