Indeed, it appears to be tearing. When I move the mouse wheel, only the upper part (a small bar) of the displayed page follows this movement, the lower part remains static but the border between the moving part and the static part subsequently also moves in parallel with the scroll bar button on the right side.
Looks kinda funny but unfortunately, it often renders the page not readable anymore.
A quick feedback from a few weeks old Linux noob on Manjaro:
Thank you for all the digital heroes for “living on the unstable/test” versions so that, we, the people on the stable can enjoy this so far so stable ManjaroOS as the nucleic core of an atom.
And I say this after deleting 15 other distros including Debian stable because they were sluggish or things did not really work. OpenSUSE LEAP stable (on two of my secondary laptops) is the only one that I could compare (by my feeling and experince so far).
Out of those like 15, Manjaro was the only distro which smoothly installed without any glitches or issues and with truly top performing desktop (snappiest of all) on all of my four (4) PCs which are really different configurations in age and in performance as well:
Lenovo Thinkpad X200T (13 years old, wounded in wars)
Lenovo Carbon X1 (1st generation, 7+ years old)
Custom DIY mini Intel i3 PC with IGPU
Custom power PC station (8700K, OEM NVME, Z370, Nvidia RTX2070)
I guess this update is working just fine. Although, it’s just me or, is nvidia-settings (for nvidia 455) not exist anymore? It’s still mentioned in nvidia-xconfig man page, but I can’t call it out. Also, I had to use TTY to reboot after updating. No big deal. It went back to normal shutdown/restart after that. Other than that, thanks for fixing cuda. I’m working with Blender and still can’t get away from that API yet. You guys awesome.
Right now I just wrote my config files manually, but this tool needs to be integrated into nvidia-utils package like it always has been before, I think it is just something that has been overlooked during the creation of the 455 package. I will wait I don’t want to install Arch packages into my system to ‘fix’ something that will probably be solved soon officially in Manjaro now that it has been reported.
It seems many widgets are breaking KDE Plasma, preventing it from starting. Right now I’ve found these widgets to be breaking plasma:
Event Calendar
Battery time indicator
Global app menu
I would suggest trying which widgets work in a test user (and restarting plasma by logging out /rebooting) before adding ANY widgets to your main user’s desktop.
For info, I just updated to Unstable branch as it has received the update for the nvidia-utils and I now have the Nvidia Settings panel available and working as intended.
Just leaving the info here in case someone else like me requires it to configure his monitors (I have a main monitor with 1680x1050 16/10 resolution and a TV as secondary monitor with 1920x1080 16/9 I enable it only to watch movies, as a clone of my main monitor, and only Nvidia Settings panel permits me to do this properly, scaling the TV to my main monitor different resolution and aspect ratio).
I just want to add about, in kernel 5.9-rc8 (probably also with the early final release) nvidia-uvm module is being blocked due to gpl-shim feature and it affect cuda (cmiiw). So, if you’re working with nvidia gpgpu somehow, you might want to avoid kernel 5.9 before the patch come out.
PS: I post it here because I think, although this is not Manjaro’s problem, it’s related to the kernel update. cheers
Have been getting full crashes starting with this update.
Manjaro-i3 with intel-nvidia hybrid graphics. Kernel 5.8, proprietary drivers installed but only intel drivers are in use (optimus-manager).
Journalctl output of the crash reads
kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] ERROR Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=4732370 end=4732371) time 187 us, min 763, max 767, scanline start 760, end 769
The system crashes completely, similarly to what used to happen with kernel 5.3 a while back (i think, could be 5.5).
