Nvidia card owners

  • We simplified nVidia driver installation. This means we dropped legacy drivers.
    • We recommend to switch over to Nouveau drivers if your card is mentioned here and the feature you need is not in red TO DO here for your particular card.

    • If you however still need proprietary drivers, you may want to execute the following to ensure all parts of the nVidia drivers get installed properly:

      sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
      
      If proprietary drivers don't fix everything, please click the â–ş at the beginning of this line to view more info
      1. try installing kernel 5.4 LTS (Long Term Support)
      2. If that doesn’t fix it, take a full system backup, go to a console using Ctrl+Alt+F2 and:
      • Backup /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf if you ever edited that manually

      • remove all nVidia related drivers and applications:

        pacman --remove nvidia*
        
      • Note which applications are being removed and keep them handy in a list

      • Install the driver first:

        mhwd --install video-hybrid-XXX-nvidia-prime
        

        (Where XXX is amd or intel if you have hybrid graphics or the whole thing is video-nvidia if you’re on an nVidia-only system)

      • reboot and see if you at least get a screen.

      • Install all the other applications from your handy list that you still need one by one.

      • Restore /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf if you ever edited that manually

      • If that wouldn’t solve the issue open a new issue here referring to this update and posting at a minimum the full output of:

        inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
        

      If you however still have issues with your Nvidia card, you may open a new thread in our forum: Graphics & Display - Manjaro Linux Forum or look at our tutorial on compiling old Nvidia drivers.

For AMD GPU users having a black screen with kernel 5.10

Please click the â–ş at the beginning of this line to view more info

Due to a bug in the AMD drivers, please try the following first:

For GRUB:

  1. Open a terminal or a TTY
  2. Open /etc/default/grub in your favourite CLI editor (nano vi, emacs`)
  3. Find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="
  4. Add amdgpu.dc=0
  5. Save
  6. Execute sudo update-grub and reboot

For systemd-boot:

  1. Open a terminal or a TTY
  2. Open /boot/loader/entries/manjarolinux5.10.conf in your favourite CLI editor (nano vi, emacs`)
  3. Add amdgpu.dc=0 to the end of the line options
  4. Save & reboot

For rEFInd:

  1. Open a terminal or a TTY
  2. Open /boot/refind_linux.conf in your favourite CLI editor (nano vi, emacs`)
  3. Find the line: "Boot using default options" "root=
  4. Add amdgpu.dc=0
  5. Save & reboot

Possible 2 Min delay on shutdown with Gnome

Please click the â–ş at the beginning of this line to view more info
  • If you got the problem with shutdown delay (about 2min) on Gnome, here is a workaround:
    • Edit /usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session-restart-dbus.service in your favourite editor as root and add Slice=-.slice as a line all by itself like this:

      [Service]
      Type=notify
      Slice=-.slice
      ExecStart=/usr/lib/gnome-session-ctl --restart-dbus
      
    • Click this link For more information

Touchpad on a ThinkPad stops working

  • Restart again, please.

You get [PKGNAME] warning: directory permissions differ on [Directory name]

followed by:

Filesystem: NNN package MMM

Please click the â–ş at the beginning of this line to view this solution
  • The solution:

    sudo chmod MMM DirectoryName
    

Where obviously MMM is the second number you see (the correct one)

  • The explanation:
    Your package expects the security permissions to be MMM but your system is set to NNN. This is just a warning (today) but to ensure you remain up-to-date with the latest and greatest security rules it’s advised to execute the above command.

Systemd error message: .slice: Failed to migrate controller cgroups

If you have a similar error message like this:

systemd[1004]: -.slice: Failed to migrate controller cgroups from /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service, ignoring: Permission denied

… you may need to add this Grub parameter to your /etc/default/grub file in line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT: systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=true. To update your grub menu, call: sudo update-grub. For more information on that issue, see also Arch Forum.

Python 3.9 Requires Rebuilds

# Install yay

# Rebuild AUR python packages
yay -S --noconfirm $(pacman -Qqo "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages")

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

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 cups.service
systemctl enable cups.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.

Let’s clean this up a bit.
I updated through terminal, updates seemed to go fine, didn’t see anything strange (but didn’t have a firm eye on it). After update, the laptop did not want to reboot by going through the launcher, so I fired up a terminal and did sudo reboot (to get the changes).

After reboot, desktop looked fine, no problems, snappy.
Then I changed to Nvidia by using optimus-manager-qt (little icon in bottom panel). The log out was much faster than usual, but login was very slow. After putting in my password, the splash screen had a spinning circle underneath the plasma icon. After some time the circle stopped and the cursor came up, but computer was still on slpash screen. I gave this state few minutes but nothing happened (I could move the cursor).
I did TTY3 put in my username, and as I hit enter after putting in password, I was pulled back to TTY1 to the desktop seen below (I opened terminal though).


The bottom panel works, but right clicking on the black area results in nothing. Opening and closing a browser takes care of the “other” panel, but desktop still unresponsive.

I am able to TTY3 and startx. That gets me into a working environment with wallpaper, but no icon for optimus-manager-qt.

I am currently trying out the the broken tty1 to see if I can do any work. So far programs start and “work”, but are very sluggish.
I wonder what you would like to check, but to begin with, here is inxi -Fazzy

Isn’t it how it always has been with Nvidia?

have you to backup this file and reboot ?
mv /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf.old

have you also checked xrandr ?

i get twice mkinitcpio for same preset ( i have added nvidia in modules )

Do you want me to delete the onlynvidia.conf file after taking backup of it? (it only says

##
## Generated by mhwd - Manjaro Hardware Detection
##

)

…and “Isn’t it how it always has been with Nvidia?”. I think it is.

First is because Kernel packages got update.
Second is because Nvidia package got updated.

This always, as far as I remember, has been like that.

You got it twice because both kernel and nvidia got updated.

@stephane, that’s been bothering me too. it’s processing
/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/90-mkinitcpio-install.hook
and
/usr/share/libalpm/hooks/90-nvidia-utils.hook

at first glance it seemed like one could just add the target from the second file into the first, but the first is not just running mkinicpio -P, it is running an actual script i’m not comfortable touching.

No really a big deal but update broke megasync, a rebuild fixes it though

There is problem with amd vulkan driver, some games won’t start. I resolved by switching to radeon
vulkan driver.

pamac does not find updates at startup. No problem if forced by the menu item “refresh database”.

Same for me: pamac fails to find AUR updates (#930) · Issues · Applications / pamac · GitLab
(it occurs not only for AUR packages, but also for repo packages)

Yay, it seems Plasma update fixed buggy gtk window decorations.

No issues with this update with optimus-manager setup. Switching GPUs works as intended, no further configs showed during the update so nothing had to be done. GPU drivers updated without a problem. All on kernel 5.9 because 5.10 is not mature enough.

For me this update didn’t break megasync, an earlier one did. I even couldn’t rebuild it because it threw some compilation error, so I grabbed the installation file from mega.nz site, and it works well.

Yes megasync broke for me on a previous update as well so I installed megasync git from the aur instead, which was working until todays update. But like I said a rebuild fixed it

Hello. Updated kernel to 5.10 and I lost my Nvidia Sync. It’s off now on the Nvidia control panel. Back to 5.9 and fixed. Hope this can fix soon

P.S: Fixed after the second try with new testing branch

**It only affects the kernel 511 (5.11.rc2.d0103.ge71ba94-1)

  • kernel 5.10.5-1 is o.K.**

I’m having this new issue that I can’t remember experiencing before. I’m on an Thinkpad T470 and using the 5.10.5 kernel.

Upon resuming from sleep, and logging back into KDE from SDDM, my wifi in KDE (I assume this is NetworkManager?) is getting stuck at “waiting for authorization” and never connect. My bluetooth mouse does not work either.

Upon clicking the “Application Launcher” button in KDE, it comes up, then KDE hangs. I can move my mouse but can’t click anything. Issuing a “sudo reboot” from a tty has the system stuck waiting for a 1 min 30 second timer to kill some user process.

I started booting my 5.4.87 kernel and I can’t seem to repeat this issue. My wifi connects every time after logging in from sleep. Not sure if this could be caused by the KDE updates, or the 5.10.5 kernel? But the 5.4.87 kernel so far seems OK. Could someone help me with grabbing logs to help debug this?
