[Testing Update] 2021-11-07 - Kernels, Haskell, Nvidia, Maui, Python, FireFox, Thunderbird, KDE Gear, LibreOffice

Are nvidia-suspend and nvidia-resume systemd services enabled?

settings manager no longer works in Plasma desktop,

anyone tried the new ntfs3 driver?

$ zgrep NTFS /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_NTFS3_FS is not set

ohh damn :confused: hope that gets enabled when the 5.15 hits stable release

After this update, wayland stopped launching. See:

Can other Plasma users on testing check if they have the same problem? Thanks

I checked on my side and both processes are dead - hybrid session. Is that normal or not? Should I activate them or configure in optimus-manager to enable them once in hybrid mode?

I thought it could help in case of broken suspend with Nvidia cards.
It is normal to have them disabled by default, it’s up to user to decide whether to try them or not.

What would dkms say then when building for that kernel I wonder…

I think it might fail but dkms error are not critical and other modules will still compile so in theory nothing to worry about.

If I recall correctly: if the one compiled with dkms is newer than the one found in the kernel, and the one in the kernel is not built-in, then it will be replaced.

I have those files,but it doesn’t appear to install,neither on the GUI.

update your system with the new mhwd-db package. Most likely fixed …

Had to go back to pulseaudio as pipewire doesn’t recognize the internal microphone of my laptop. Other than that, no issues.
