I believe I’ve found a minor bug in Telegram(I hope this is the right place to post it here, if not I kindly ask you to move it to the right place or tell me where I should post it):

The package Telegram-desktop with gnome(dark-mode) on Testing: Version: 2.5.6.r8.gefde011f1-1

The Icon on the top right bar is just a white square and every right click affiliated with telegram opens the correct window, but it has a ugly white boarder.

Solution: downgrade if it is a problem.

Yes, I have the same problem with my ifi DAC. Only way I’ve found to fix it is to downgrade to 5.10.

analisando o CPU 0:
driver: intel_cpufreq
CPUs que rodam na mesma frequência de hardware: 0
CPUs que precisam ter suas frequências coordenadas por software: 0
maior latência de transição: 20.0 us
limites do hardware: 800 MHz - 5.00 GHz
reguladores do cpufreq disponíveis: conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance schedutil
política de frequência atual deve estar entre 800 MHz e 5.00 GHz.
O regulador “ondemand” deve decidir qual velocidade usar
dentro desse limite.
current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
current CPU frequency: 5.00 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes

intel_cpufreq is not right driver, it have to be intel_pstate

Indeed, on some systems, the intel_pstate kernel driver has to be enabled first.

Just add

intel_pstate=active

to the kernel boot parameters by editing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.
Of course, don’t forget to run

sudo update-grub

afterwards.

I’l try to force the intel_pstate when i got home. But yesterday i discovered that the problem i was having is related to libusb 1.0.24 and xow (xbox wireless dongle). Since my pc is almost dedicated to gaming i got xow running all the time, when the libusb 1.0.24 land my problems started and it was dificult to track.

Thanks for the help anyway

Since one or two updates (didn’t notice until recently) I can not access the Compositor settings in KDE Settings.

//EDIT: but it work on a new user so I will try to reset every setting on my user.
//EDIT2: resetting all plasma config files fixed the issue.

I had the same problem, but I decided to switch to pipewire by installing package manjaro-pipewire. After that PulseEffects worked, but I had problem with VLC. I had to switch audio output from “Auto” to “Alsa audio output” / “PipeWire Sound Server”.

I am experiencing messed up Gnome desktop on Manjaro Gnome Testing. Even though I minimize windows, they still remain visible.

Screenshot from 2021-01-30 15-13-45

Another issue, the extension Desktop Icon NG creates a “window” on its own and can be seen in the window overview.

System:
Acer V3 -575G
i5-6200u
5.11.0-1-MANJARO
Wayland

Is PulseEffects working with manjaro-pipewire?

I have issues with AUR in Pamac, it fails to find the packages to install when I try to build AUR packages (example zenmonitor).
I have seen exact same issue yesterday on my sister’s computer while trying to update her Google Chrome browser (Stable branch). Pamac seems to have issues with AUR.

I have the same problem with Mate desktop and Telegram official binary.
Any news how to solve?

I was abroad for nearly two months.
After updating kernel 5.9 to 5.10 I have stability problems with

  • google chrome
    flickering windows
  • complete lockups after some hours of work
  • gpu hangs with intel gpu

With kernel 5.11rc5 I even cannot get to mate desktop. The pc locks up hard after signing in with password.
I have no Idea how to debug this. :frowning:

Going back to kernel 5.9 solves all this.

Yes, PulseEffects 5 requires pipewire and works with it.

However I quite often change audio outputs internal/headphones/bluetooth/hdmi and I ran into different sorts of problems. Sometimes output is not recognized, sometimes multiple sinks are created, sometimes I can’t control volume level, etc. So I removed PulseEffects 5 and installed manjaro-pulse and pulseeffects-legacy-git from AUR. Now some PulseEffects plugins don’t work (for example Crystalizer), but I can freely switch between outputs.

Edit: There is an update to pulseeffects-legacy-git which fixes plugins, but at the moment it can’t be installed on Manjaro testing because Manjaro doesn’t have required package rnnoise in testing repo.

The solution that I’m currently adapting is a downgrade to version 2.5.0.3.r0… (I tried reinstalling, but that did not work. So for simplicity I decided to just use a older version and to wait for an update)
(Probably other versions also work, but I was a bit radical on this.)

The current Testing branch is starting to show its “age”. Arch-audit reports several vulnerabilities (incl. browsers), which can be fixed by upgrading.

arch-audit -u                                                                           ✔
