[Testing Update] 2020-11-13 - Kernels, Plasma 5.20.3, Mesa 20.2.2, OnlyOffice 6.0.1

Minor thing but I report it, every now and then I see posts like this one asking for the updated (>=5.20) OSD look

to which I responded that one could dirty copy paste the OSD folder of Breeze /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/ to the official Breath2 by @bogdancovaciu, so you 'd want to maybe take a look at it before 20.2 Nibia comes out.

Hi,

I encounter the same problem with the brightness control on 5.9.8-1 kernel. I switched to stable branch to have a previous 5.9.x kernel (5.9.3-1). The brightness is set to 100% on 5.9.8-1 with Intel card only and there is no possibility to change it.

How can I update from 5.9.3-1 to 5.9.6-1 kernel ? Pamac give me the 5.9.8-1 only. Thanks.

I set my system to french language but many parts are still in english under Manjaro 20.2 KDE-rc1 (Konsole menu items, system configuration buttons, …). I think everything is not translate on KDE plasma 5.20.3.

I tested plasma Wayland session and I hoped that it was ready now but it is not the case yet. Too bad. The virtual keyboard doesn’t work very well, and it miss a kgamma alternative (the color night option is not the best thing to change the gamma or modify the screen colors (RGB)).

One last thing. As I said on another topic, can you add the OEM installation option in Manjaro 20.2 KDE final version (as it is available in the Gnome version) ? So, I could install Manjaro 20.2 KDE version on the computers of my friends and family in OEM mode. Thanks.

Hi @AlanP I stayed on testing branch and installed linux59-5.9.6-1 from my pacman cache:

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux59-5.9.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 

Depending on how many versions of packages you keep, you likely still have it on your machine.

For good measure, I have also set IgnorePkg = linux59 in /etc/pacman.conf for now to hold on to 5.9.6-1.

can you please try i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0 or i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=3 and see if there is difference

linux-firmware and amd-ucode are not updated, only in unstable

Adding kernel parameter:

i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0

fixes issue with brightness control for me.

Thanks @phush0!

Thanks for the update! NVIDIA 390 driver is finally available for my GeForce 820M GPU.

Thank you @phush0! I can also confirm this solved the brightness control problem for me.

Hi,

Thanks for your fix. I will tell you later if it has worked or not. In the instant I’m writing, I’m on another system than Manjaro.

Could you tell us what’s wrong ? Is it a bug in the 5.9.8-1 kernel ? We have no problem with older kernel.

Regards.

I tried these two options and I haven’t seen any changes in control of backlight, I’m on a i7-8750H.

Also, I’m experience loss of video when returning from sleep (laptop lid closed) and lots of error on the journal.

I didn’t notice audio problems but I also got the following error.

snd_hda_intel can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config space inaccessible)

Looks like something went bananas with an intel controller that’s failing to wake up several things.
I downgraded the kernel back to 5.9.6-2.

new patch, that obviously, is nor ready for prime, I suppose they will remove it in 5.9.8-2, because it causes more problems than solved

I have no issues on this Update, but I think its a good idea to post

hw-probe preview

https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=8a6016e438

latest one on this machine, I think, new Machine is in Order :slight_smile:

Ok. I tested your fix and it works. Thank you. :wink:

Using with nvidia proprietary driver, sddm crashed, error message something like

could not get display id from pipeline

Downgrading plasma-desktop to 5.20.2-1 solved

I actually never needed to upgrade to an unstable pkg. Thanks!

I am happy to be on testing so that I can help the community catch these issues. Still, it seems strange that there have been four patches during the 5.9 kernel branch so far that have broken my install (two trackpad patches, a WiFi chipset patch, and now this one). Perhaps there has been a renewed focus on the hardware I happen to have, but this is the first time I have experienced this many kernel issues with Manjaro testing.

Don’t get me wrong: I will still stay on testing because right now it’s the best way I can give back to this great community (no free time for coding these days). I just cross my fingers a little harder with each update. :smile:

I have random systemsettings5 crashes when trying to access some menus, for example if I go to Workspace behavior -> Desktop Effects it crashes with following journal log:

Not sure how to find the reason. If anyone has some places to look at or some things to try to reset some things please share.

//EDIT: seem fixed by deleting ~/.config/plasmashellrc and ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc then rebooting and reconfiguring a few things.

//EDIT: also KDE Application launcher doesn't open when Meta key is pressed

Only on brandnew ones supported by driver version 455 and above.
Nvidia driver version 390 is not available for kernel 5.9 - and possibly never will :frowning:
