libtraceevent>=5.9-1 update requires manual intervention

2020-10-23 - SĂ©bastien Luttringer

The libtraceevent package prior to version 5.9-1 was missing a soname link. This has been fixed in 5.9-1, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked files created by ldconfig. If you get any of these errors

libtraceevent: /usr/lib/libtraceevent.so.1 exists in filesystem

when updating, use

pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/libtraceevent.so.1

to perform the upgrade.

https://www.archlinux.org/news/libtraceevent59-1-update-requires-manual-intervention/

OpenVPN connection times out.

Workaround: donwgrade openvpn (2.5.0-1 => 2.4.9-2).
For a proper solution follow this bug report on Arch Linux: FS#68480 : [openvpn] running unprivileged with iproute no longer working


Older Issues

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”

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.

No mirror, although showing up-to-date, is actually up-to-date.

The Kmail bug related to the Decrypt action of filters, reported here, is still there.

I have opened a bug upstream:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429050

OK, these series of updates are confusing me. There isn’t any update even though the repo is green. Well, I guess I’ll just wait a bit more, then. :grin:

I forgot to actually snap the update to testing branch. We are currently busy following LAS2020 …

I see. Thank you. I just got the update and it seems alright.
Good luck to you guys and have fun with the summit. :wink:

Thanks. :slightly_smiling_face:

Postgresql fails to start. Upgrading from 12.5-1 to 12.5-3 fixes problem.
Brightness control stopped working on linux59-5.9.8-1, downgrading to previous version 5.9.6-2 fixes issue.
Sddm fails to start issue is still present.

what GPU are you using for brightness control

Intel UHD Graphics 630 with video-modesetting driver.

not working at all or strange behave, or you have to do it every time. I am asking because 5.9.8-1 have OLED patch inside, which supposedly have to work like addition and not breaking normal cases.

Brightness controll not working at all, brightness is always at maximium.

I am with OLED display and this works for me. May be someone also test on intel card.

yes, the postgresql-check-db-dir thinks the current version is 13 instead of 12…

Intel UHD Graphics 620 here, changing brightness works fine under 5.9.8-1.

Has it already been discovered why sddm fails to load for some users? I’m asking because I’m yet to encounter this issue and I’m wondering why.

In brief: all good, flawless update.

I am experiencing the exact same problem. Running Sway in Wayland. The screen brightness is either 100% or 0%. Dell XPS 13 9380, LED screen. Calling brightnessctl directly DOES change the value at /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness/, but this value does not seem to be read? Its only when the value is zero that the display has no backlight.

Downgrading the kernel to 5.9.6-1 fixes this issue for now.

Additional information: The brightness scale also seems to have changed: Whereas before I could read the brightness levels (cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness) going from 0 to 120000 at full brightness, with kernel 5.9.8-1 installed the levels are 0 to 255 at full brightness. Something is amiss.

As there is still no full nVidia support for kernel 5.9 available, it should be avoided to set the default kernel to 5.9 anyway.
This will at at least cause failure loading the graphical desktop on machines equipped with nVidia cards if one tries to boot the default kernel.
Won’t it be possible to avoid changing the default kernel in Grub for such machines for the time being, until the nVidia support will be available for 5.9 kernels?

5.9 work very well on nvidia cards …
