[Testing Update] 2021-02-24 - Kernels, Plasma 5.21.1, Frameworks 5.79, Firefox, Thunderbird, Python

Recently updated, so far no issues and everything run smoothly.

I also experience issue with pipewire. My system can’t find any audio devices. pactl info show Connection failure: Connection refused

EDIT

Removing /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf and renaming /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.pacnew to pipewire.conf solved my issue. I belive it was created during last update. There are settings for pipewire 3.22 included.

No issues here. New 511 kernel installed.

Seems like latest nvidia-utils and kernel linux510 (5.10.18) are causing a problem with power management, the card is powered on all the time. I’ll test more and report back.

Also, iwd/networkmanager is unable to connect automatically to a wifi network, and a message on journal says iwd[567]: Unexpected connection related event -- is another supplicant running?

I checked if wpa_supplicant was running since I remember disabling it, it was, I disabled it, and rebooted, I checked again and wpa_supplicant is now inactive and still the same message on iwd journal. Seems like a bug on iwd.

Will look into it. Thanks!

Update: I honestly can’t reproduce the issue, regardless. Would you mind to check again your settings?

I must admit that I was messing around with Global Themes a bit. But I didn’t think it would actually matter.

But I guess I was wrong, because I just changed Plasma Style from Breath2 Dark to breath2 (I don’t know why it isn’t capitalized, but whatever lol), then to Breath2 Dark again and it got magically fixed.

What the f----.

XFCE on 5.11 kernel: just updated and rebooted, no problems so far. I’ll edit if I notice anything, but looks smooth.

Laptop speakers sound better after update, but this is hard to judge. (My C940 speakers are notoriously bad with Pulseaudio, but slowly improving) I wonder if I can benchmark this somehow…

Any update or help on this rEFInd issue I posted above?

I can confirm this crash. I haven’t found anything on bugs.kde.org - do you want to report it or should i go ahead?

It seems to require registration? Go ahead, if you have an account.

433715 – krunner crashes when input contains a quote it happens with single and double quotes on my side, probably some kind of missing input sanitation? ^^

I also found bug in the System Settings → Shortcuts → Custom Shortcuts (KHotKeys if I’m not mistaken). The problem is I know how to crash it, or swap configurations between two custom shortcuts, but it is very inconsistent to reproduce. Is it worth reporting it or would it need a solid reproduction to be considered a valid bug report?

if it’s at least somewhat reproducable i’d say go ahead and report it. You might just oversee some variables that are changing.

refind-theme-maia was dropped from the repos for the time being. Remove it and then update.

Since I don’t need PipeWire I masked the pipewire.socket
systemctl --user mask pipewire.socket
and rebooted, with the result that first launch in session of pamac-gtk no longer triggers coredump for pipewire-media-.

no. i peeked in the logs straight after boot(again like last time) without launching anything, and was able to see pipewire-media-session crash stack-trace. i did not had to invoke pamac to trigger it.

Trying out kernel 5.11, everything seems OK but it’s missing dev/vmmon for vmware support. Any chance of adding the missing modules

Hm, at my tests VMware is working as it should, without config changes etc. :thinking:

@sawdoctor what’s the output of dkms status

Thanks for the reply.

dkms status
vmware-workstation, 16.1.0_17198959, 5.4.100-1-MANJARO, x86_64: installed

I have no issues with 5.10 but with 5.11 I’m getting the error

Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory

Normally get the error when the modules are missing from the kernel

Edit

Scrap that just rebuilt vmware and all is good now, should have just done that in the first place
