[Testing Update] 2021-11-13 - Kernel, Gnome 41.1, Xorg-Server 21.1, LxQt 1.0, Nvidia 470.86, Plasma 5.23.3

from the grub menu, hit e to edit. at the end of the linux line (near the bottom) append a space and the number 3. hit alt x to boot with the edited config (which doesn’t save the edit, just runs it this once)

you didn’t specify, is that Wayland? If so I have no idea, I don’t use it. I assume replacing plasmashell / kwin didn’t help you.

same here

I have backups in timeshift… and this is not kwin or xorg… i even tried to skip plasma … but no succes… this is no plasma to. Maybe something with settings or Qt.

Ive tried wayland also - same problem. I think, Qt broken somehow

Thank U so much!!!
I could boot in rescue mode and re-install xf86-input-xxx
Now everything is fine.
Just have to block some more upgrade in pacman
Thank U again

Set up timeshift - you can always restore your system

If you can specify package i can test it for you with my backups and update-skips

[GNOME] Kernel 5.15 on Nvidia drivers are borked. I had multiple buffer/graphics problems with it. Xorg’s session was falling back to Wayland. Everything works as expected with Kernel 5.14.

GNOME, 5.15.2 kernel, AMD GPU. smooth.

Problem with HW acceleration was fixed in latest update

Updated to 5.15.2 kernel with KDE Plasma (X11) and latest NVIDIA driver and after a reboot the system showed a black screen at the login prompt. The mouse was visible, but nothing else was. I was still able to log in and move my mouse around, but the black screen remained after a login. I couldn’t use Ctrl-Shift-F2 to enter the command prompt, as the mouse would just disappear and no text would be printed on the screen.

Fixed it by downgrading to kernel 5.14.18. I listed my process below in case anyone else has this issue.

  1. Create bootable Manjaro USB drive and boot from it
  2. Run manjaro-chroot -a to chroot to the drive with Manjaro installed.
    If there’s more than one, run lsblk -h to list all drives and sudo mount /dev/<?> to mount the correct drive.
  3. List all kernel packages installed with pacman -Qs linux515-*.
    For me, this returned linux-515 and linux-515-nvidia.
  4. Install older versions of all kernel packages with pacman -Syu linux514 linux514-<other packages>
  5. You may need to adjust GRUB to get the boot menu to show up. I did this by commenting out the GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden line.
  6. Reboot and select the older kernel. This got me back to a working desktop.

No issues running 5.14.18 on Intel integrated graphics.

I also noticed that the Brave browser (with Vulkan enabled and full GPU acceleration) caused my GPU to run at ~15% load with no other applications running after restoring the tabs and windows I had open. Cycling through all tabs and refreshing them fixed the issue.

Nvidia driver works with linux 5.15 if you disable nvidia-drm.modeset kernel option

Bluetooth seems to be broken with kernel 5.15.x. After booting kernel 5.15 my bluetooth mouse doesn’t work anymore and Gnome means I need to activate bluetooth - which seems to not work. Restarting the bluetooth service doesn’t solve the problem

Looks like the kernel 5.15+ nvidia issue is DE specific, I’m running 5.15 and 495 nvidia prime drivers on cinnamon and so far no issues

you can have more than one kernel linux installed ,
just change GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu and select in advanced section

better use mhwd-kernel for not forgot any others drivers ( nvidia or virtualbox , etc )
see

pacman -Ss linux514-

:: Replace xdg-desktop-portal-gtk with extra/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome? [Y/n]
:thinking:

Nvidia do not work with kernel 5.15. Gnome.

Start fine in UEFI, now 3 horizontal dots comes and then before the login screen it stays in black screen.

Edit: 5.15 uninstalled meanwhile
5.14 is working for now
