PAM and PAMBASE got updated, which might prevent you from login

Due to updates from pambase and pam you might take care about any .pacnew files in /etc/pam.d as for example pam_tally, pam_tally2 and pam_cracklib got deprecated. Read in the ArchWiki about managing those files.

Typical issue:

For recovery, it is enough to boot with kernel option “systemd.unit=rescue.target”, then proceed into /etc/pam.d and merge “system-auth” and “system-auth.pacnew”

Older Issues

System takes a long time to boot

If you’ve got errors like Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online. you can try removing systemd from passwd and group in /etc/nsswitch.conf as described here
Update: If you can see the line
dbus-daemon[1453]: [system] Connection has not authenticated soon enough, closing it (auth_timeout=30000ms, elapsed: 45146ms)
in in your dbus log ( journalctl -b -u dbus ), the new/better workaround is to switch cups from service to socket as described here:
systemctl disable org.cups.cupsd.service
systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.socket

I think I’ve some font problems

With the update of fontconfig some major rules how fonts get applied changed. Make sure that your system has ttf-dejavu installed. A more in depth explanation can be found here.

Gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell is currently incompatible with wayland

… and causes the system to freeze when the first window is tiled and can render it unbootable. Solution is a hard reset and disabling either pop shell or wayland. If the system becomes unbootable, use a live USB to edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf to disable wayland and reboot.

We added a workaround for the multimonitor issue in Plasma.

I hope that this posting will make it into the thread before it is closed :smiley:

Remmina from the official repo is still broken - it immediately crashes when trying to connect to a server via FreeRDP.

Yeah, that David’s hack works for the time being at least, tested immediately on another user’s account without reboot. Of course a proper fix would be a much better solution, but we have to wait for KDE devs to prepare and release it. Thanks Phil for the quick patch.

XFCE + BTRFS + linux58

Getting this:

/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:6: command not found: append_path
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:8: command not found: append_path
/etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh:10: command not found: append_path

I just noticed that too.

It’s not just for root it’s for any user:

I see the same on my system. It is worth mentioning that sudo su does not show the same errors.

I just edit/revert the /etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh…append_path -> PATH=$PATH:

Ref:

(Bug) FS#67990 - append_path not defined
(commit) Check if PATH is already set in $PATH

edit: I see this behaviour/error on Tilix terminal but not on Konsole terminal…as workaround to this error…I revert it

Please do not post screenshots of terminal output, copy+paste and use proper formatting.

anyone having yakuake not conform to proper height settings?

filesystem package needs an update (last packager is @philm):
appendpath function from /etc/profile changed to append_path and /etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh (from updated perl package) tries to use it.

The proper fix is currently in review. More or less it is a regression in Qt. So if you want to test it with qt5-base, I could provide a package, however it is too early, so I rather keep the working workaround for Plasma and check later when upstream completed the code-review at Qt Inc.

Thanks @philm that fixed the sudo -i problem.

On dual monitor, it’s now fixed on me, KDE, linux58. Thanks.

# passwd: files mymachines systemd

nsswitch.conf.pacnew:
passwd: files systemd
group: files systemd

Any suggestions how to merge this?

It was produced because of boot problems we had some time ago when new (at that moment) systemd brought incompatibilities with network devices. Remember? NFS mounts and stuff.
These commented entries in your nsswitch.conf are meant to workaround that bad situation, but now there’s no need in that, assuming you have done correcting mount units or fstab options for mounts. Search through old forum announcements and you’ll find the case.

To be clear: there’s no such pacnew on my machine. Those strings are not commented out.

Thanks @openminded, with other words adding systemd and keeping mymachines?

All good here on 5.8/KDE/AMD. It seems the plasma-multimonitor-workaround is working properly :slight_smile:
