Tried kernel 5.12 for a bit, there were some UI glitches in the XFCE4 Status Tray plugin and Firefox, so I switched back to 5.11.
Update went fine. Again on Nvidia 465 drivers, optimus-manager switching is working as usual. No complaints.
Sure, didn’t notice it is 5.9, I’ve been using 5.11 for multiple days, I just uninstalled linux5.9, and Manjaro updates without problem, thanks,
Spyder does not start anymore because one of its dependencies is too new:
$ spyder
Traceback (most recent call last):

Not sure if it is related to this or to a previous update…
As a workaround one can install an older version in the local user repository:
pip install --user decorator==4.4.2
WARNING: Keyring is skipped due to an exception: Failed to unlock the keyring!

There’s an open Arch bug report about it: FS#70689 - [python-spyder-kernels] spyder crashs at startup
Kernel 5.12 fails to load basic drivers Zenpower, i87 and vboxhost drivers not running in kernel 5.12 when installing kernel from Manjaro Tool
[Edit] We have found that installing headers first solves this problem, therefore there is something wrong with the kernel upgrade tool
can i still use kernel 5.9? it is the last kernel, that shows all sensors of my zen CPU and i want to see the power consumption of it
That version is eol and removed from the repo. (No bug/security fixes anymore) → you should switch (ultimately it’s up to you of course, it’s your sys)
This might be interesting for you:
zenpower??
nvidia drivers v465.27 are still broken.
I am hitting again a NULL pointer dereference, exactly as reported here:
The lines are:
Apr 27 10:30:49 Dsipter kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000170
Apr 27 10:30:49 Dsipter kernel: #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

@philm : your decision whether to roll back to 460.73 or not, but please avoid at any cost that v465 lands to stable.
Did you mean 465?
How do you end up with the failure? I seem to not be affected, as I was not affected in the first iteration of the 465 driver before the previous rollback few weeks ago, as seem many other here not having the issue too.
What is the process to end up with the issue? Maybe I’m affected but I don’t use Nvidia in the same way as you do.
Yes! I fixed my post, thanks.
It seems it depends on the SCREEN the video card is connected to.
In the copious threads on reddit and archlinux related to the first bug (with v465.24.02) it is repeatedly reported that the bug is triggered when some screens are attached to the boards.
I have two screens, one of them is a DELL U3419W connected to DP-0 of my GTX 1650 Super.
Whenever that screen is attached, even when the other is not, the bug is triggered.
Who knows what the driver does…
it is not that important. i dont wanna mess around with things i dont understand and maybe break my OS
It is important. Simply go to Manjaro Settings, and click the Install button on Kernel 5.10. Reboot. You’re good for 5 years minimum now. You can then remove the kernel 5.9 which does not exist anymore, from Manjaro Settings, when you have successfully booted in kernel 5.10 (and you can also install kernel 5.4 to have what is called a ‘backup kernel’, in case one day there is an issue with the other kernel you can still boot on another kernel).
OK right.
I have dual screen but I don’t use DP I use DVI for main screen and HDMI for TV monitor (which I enable on demand to watch movies).
Here are some answers to your posts, folks:
Intel QuickAssist Technology QAT_4xxx for accelerating crypto and compression workloads. Firmware module is looking for is qat_4xxx.bin and qat_4xxx_mmp.bin
Firmware file has not been released yet even though the driver for those devices has been added to the kernel. It just means that the driver will fail and the device will simply not work (same as kernel 5.10 where no driver was available) or you don’t have the hardware to begin with?
Unless you have a Renesas USB controller, it can safely be ignored.
We removed linux59 now completely from our repos. Simply do a sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux59. Make sure you had another kernel installed before.
Seems upstream restricts some dependency. Does this help when compiling the package?
sed -i 's/decorator<5/decorator/' setup.py
I assume you use DKMS for your own modules. You have to install the headers package also.
No, as we removed it.
We had a long discussion about how we design Pamac and make it mobile friendly. This was the result, which worked best on small screens, like the Pinephone also. Since Pamac is designed for Gnome, we mostly follow their UI guidelines. Also we are working on porting Pamac to GTK4. If you have improvement ideas, don’t hesitate to share it on our bug-tracker, as most of these comments in our forums might be not read, as we don’t have time to search for them in all those threads.
Hmm, did you shared your issue with Nvidia yet? I got reports that some issues are solved with 465 series and others have different issues if we keep 460 in our repos.

@chainofflowers seems Nvidia has an internal bug report for that case now. Most likely the issue is the Display Port. Can you try to use HDMI if possible?
