[Testing Update] 2021-10-12 - Kernels, Haskell, Python, KDE Gear, KDE Frameworks, Thunderbird

link in OP is working now - https://manjaro.myspreadshop.net/

I had an issue after rebooting, I was greeted with a “Cannot load kernel modules” message, I then switched to a TTY and ran sudo pacman -Syyu and I had another update for all my kernels and headers and rebooting afterwards fixed the issue. I guess there was an issue that has been caught too late and new kernels got pushed shortly after.

Or not up-to-date mirrors :cowboy_hat_face:

I refresh mirror list, and force the Global mirrors so no I don’t think so.

sudo pacman-mirrors --country Global
sudo pacman -Syyu

Can’t give me outdated mirrors.

//EDIT: I got kernel updates initially too, so that tends to confirm my guess. No I got modules updates but I think the kernels were not pushed initially. That’s weird.
Maybe mirror wasn’t properly synced but pacman-mirror was seeing it as up to date so it’s weird.

It hasn’t been released yet. The release date is set to 2021-10-14. Then allow up to week or even more until it reaches Manjaro Testing.

Everything went fine.

Is it just me, or have mirrors been upgraded? The download speeds went sky-high. I have fiber-internet, but even with the best mirrors set, the download speeds were pretty limited. Today it was super quick, 1GB update downloaded in ca. 10s as if mirrors became much more efficient and the whole update processed in super speed. 1 minute and it was all over. Wow!

It depends on the mirror you have.

I got this error when applying this update.

error: failed to synchronize all databases (no servers configured for repository)

I don’t know exactly when the mirrors list got deleted, but it’s probably from the last update, because I don’t remember executing any elevated command between that update and this one. I just need to update the mirror, tho. There is no apparent changes to the URL from the newly downloaded mirrors list. But the fact that it got deleted is kinda weird. I hope it’s nothing to worry about. :sweat_smile:

OK found what I was looking at. “KDE Gear 21.08.2 will be released on October 7”.

3 posts were split to a new topic: Kde gear vs plasma release misunderstanding

inxi now gives an error when running inxi -Fxx with 2 or more of the “x” flag. It stops after displaying Bluetooth information and gives the error:

Not an ARRAY reference at /usr/bin/inxi line 16007.

If I just use inxi -F or inxi -Fx, it works as expected.

Edit: inxi -Fazy gives the same error.

It doesn’t for me.
If I’m reading the source correctly it’s got something todo with hardware raid info parsing (which my machine doesn’t have).
Better open up a bug report upstream:

My system follows the stable branch, but I do like to peak here to see what’s on the horizon from time to time… and I recall inxi updated for me on the 11th to v3.3.07.1-1.

I understand my total installed package list is not in step, but on the off chance this is related to the same inxi version (unless another inxi version was released after the 11th)… I just wanted to share that I had no issues between the inxi -Fxx command (v3.3.07.1-1) and my mdadm array.

I can’t reproduce it. Run inxi --recommends and see if you’re missing an optional dependency.

This update appears to have introduced an issue regarding pci ports on my laptop.
Kernel 5.14, intel+nvidia hybrid, running optimus-manager + bbswitch switching. Nvidia module is unloaded, running only on intel graphics.

Anytime anything which requires hardware acceleration (mpv for example) is called, dmesg is spammed with

[  504.252426] pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: Data Link Layer Link Active not set in 1000 msec
[  504.252637] pci 0000:01:00.0: can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config space inaccessible)
[  504.276581] pci 0000:01:00.0: can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config space inaccessible)
[  504.295276] pci 0000:01:00.0: can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config space inaccessible)

for a few seconds until system appears to “give up”. A hard-crash due to this has already occured during the playback of a long list of files.

PCI device 0000:00:1c.0 is, according to lspci, the Intel PCI bridge

00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev f1)

EDIT:
This problem appears to go even further down, as any attempt to load the nvidia driver fails. Modprobe claims

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device

while journalctl logs

kernel: nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device number 509
kernel: NVRM: This is a 64-bit BAR mapped above 4GB by the system
        NVRM: BIOS or the Linux kernel, but the PCI bridge
        NVRM: immediately upstream of this GPU does not define
        NVRM: a matching prefetchable memory window.
kernel: NVRM: This may be due to a known Linux kernel bug.  Please
        NVRM: see the README section on 64-bit BARs for additional
        NVRM: information.
kernel: nvidia: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -1
kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine failed for 1 device(s).
kernel: NVRM: None of the NVIDIA devices were initialized.
kernel: nvidia-nvlink: Unregistered the Nvlink Core, major device number 509

Any attempt to load the nvidia driver, either via optimus-manager or directly fails. Critical failure in optimus-manager appears to be due to the same issue, with logs outputting

Command 'modprobe nvidia NVreg_UsePageAttributeTable=1' returned non-zero exit status 1.

again a modprobe nvidia related issue.

EDIT 2:
Despite modprobing nvidia always failing with the specific error

modprobe: INFO: Failed to insert module '/lib/modules/5.14.11-1-MANJARO/extramodules/nvidia.ko.gz': No such device

modinfo returns the expected information

filename:       /lib/modules/5.14.11-1-MANJARO/extramodules/nvidia.ko.gz
firmware:       nvidia/470.74/gsp.bin
alias:          char-major-195-*
version:        470.74
supported:      external
(etc)

As expected, Testing branch is once again left over. Testing of the package was done on Unstable and Stable-Staging, then pushed to Stable.

It’s been a recurring issue in the past months, updates are tested on Stable-Staging and not on Testing branch, then pushed to Stable, at some point Stable was more on par with Unstable branch than Testing. What are you doing guys, can you try to find out why this is regularly occurring and try to avoid that?

I want to stay on Testing branch but at some point if the update scheme makes no sense I’ll go back to Stable and forget about testing updates before they land to Stable…

I received an update today and:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
hwinfo: /sbin exists in filesystem (owned by filesystem)
/usr/share/systemsettings/categories/manjaro-category.desktop exists in both 'manjaro-settings-manager-kcm' and 'manjaro-settings-manager-knotifier'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
 -> error installing repo packages

What branch are you using? hwinfo 21.77-1 was the only version that would cause that which was never in the testing branch. We pushed 21.77-1.2 to unstable before Arch finally updated to 21.77-2.

I agree. It seems like they are just testing the updates in the stable-staging branch and skipping the testing branch. Sometimes, stable branch even has newer packages than testing.
