@folky , maybe can also be your issue: FS#70488 : [libglvnd] sway 1.6 fails to start

@riggs see here branch-compare:

pamac-gtk repository : extra
Stable : 10.0.6-2
Testing : 10.0.6-2
Unstable : 10.1.1-2

I have issue with KDE, plasma-desktop cannot loaded. I got black screen and nothing don’t happen after login. I can only move mouse pointer.

Also In SDDM I got error:

The current theme cannot be loaded due to the errors below, please select another theme.

file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/breath2Main.qml:26:1: plugin cannot be loaded for module “org.kde.plasma.core”. Cannot load library /usr/lib/qt/qml/org/kde/plasma/core/libcorebindingsplugin.so: (/usr/lib/libKF5PlasmaQuick.so.5: undefinded symbol: _ZN14KWindowEffects11slideWindowEP7QWindowNS_17SlideFromLocationEi)

I tried select anothere theme changing parameter in config file /etc/sddm.conf, clean up cache folder but it don’t help me.

After so I removed package plasma-framework and all its dependencies, change branch to stable and install all packages from that branch.

sudo pacman  -Rcs plasma-framework
sudo pacman-mirrors -aB stable
sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S plasma-desktop plasma-disks sddm-kcm kgamma5 systemsettings powerdevil plasma-pa ....

My branch is testing, not unstable.

The pamac redesign was reverted in testing, for some reason. I just downgraded with the update (sudo pacman -Syyuu), and everything works fine.

Then there is an issue with branch compare again.

Pamac is on 10.1 since previous update on Testing branch. [Testing Update] 2021-05-03 - Kernels, Mesa, Nvidia 465.27, VirtualBox, LxQt 0.17, Deepin, Gnome Apps 40.1

//EDIT: no there has been a rollback on Testing branch actually. I forced refresh my database and see:

Seems that wait is the best option 'cause -Syyuu will going back the branch to stable…

So and quote:

Be aware that after switching to a more stable branch you will receive messages from pacman, informing about newer packages installed than available in the repo. Don’t be alarmed as the situation will resolve itself when the packages reaches your current branch.
From branches wiki questions roll back

Downgrading doesn’t change the branch you’re on. It just brings packages to the same versions they’re at in the repos for your branch.

My bad, I learn something new today, thanks to you, really appreciated

You should use the </> button instead of creating a quote when you share terminal output so that it doesn’t create a fat block of text without proper formatting. Edit :pencil2: your post (and select terminal output, click the button) to make it good.

The Starcraft 2 game in wine shows empty black screen after update. I am using amdgpu. Downgraded to stable for now.

Got blank screen after latest update.
3 conflicts:

  • plasma-dekstop & plasma-desktop-primex
    -Ksysguard & ksysguard-git
    -libksysguard & libksysguard-git

If I remove Ksysguard-git breaks dependency with plasma-systemmonitor-git

Whenever I try removing those git and primex files… the command stops for my removing order will also affect another -git files in my system… Any help to bypass this issue and to restate my Testing branch system will be happily welcomed

Just to note, reverting Pamac to repo packages also throws new orphan libhandy which can be removed also.

Manjaro KDE testing, kernel 5.12. All went fine, no problems.

Hm, I think you miss-understood. Sway is what is working with all kernels. The problem is the other way around, it’s i3 that is crashing everytime after the startup as soon as I login to the session.

EDIT: BTW, here is the log-file of my last attempt to use i3 with kernel 5.12.

I don’t think so. I downgraded to libepoxy 1.5.5 and that didn’t change anything.

Get rid of plasma-desktop-primex and use plasma-desktop and replace any of those *-git packages with its counterpart.

$ sudo pacman -Syu plasma-desktop ksysguard libksysguard plasma-systemmonitor

Keep adding up non-*-git packages to that command until it doesn’t complain anymore.

I’d rather like it the other way around: First the forum post and then the update.

But that’s not how it works here so you’ll have to deal with it.

:rofl:

I’ll manage :innocent:

To add something useful: After the update, I had to adjust a few systemd config files (mainly journald.conf and resolved.conf) because they changed.
Is there a pacman-hook that notifies me after the finished update where *.pacnew files appeared? Finding the notifications in the update log is not nice.
