[Testing Update] 2022-01-24 - OpenSearch, Kernels, VirtualBox, Systemd, Firefox, Linux-Firmware

But affected by what? You went digging for old issues and solution, for a problem that is explained, so what? Is your card in the list? Do you have an issue?

I kept seeing the error, “removing jack2 breaks dependency ‘jack2=1.9.20’ required by lib32-jack2” which would result in failure, came here, noticed and followed this subtle hint of a post and all’s well. :ok_hand:t4:

Only this warning appear on my System:

If you don’t have a hardware component that requires this firmware, it can be ignored.

==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qla4xxx

And it depends which filesystem you use, on encrypted ones I see this warn.

Your question was already answered earlier in the thread.

Hi, everyone,

it seems like nextcloud-client broke with this update:

Have a look at [Testing Update] 2022-01-24 - OpenSearch, Kernels, VirtualBox, Systemd, Firefox, Linux-Firmware - #14 by DAC324 and see if it helps.

On the KDE Breath Dark theme, Bluetooth device text is overlapping. Aside from this no bugs for me.

How will I install it when my keyboard does not respond? After the update but before the reboot?

Noted in my post (link to philm’s post). Thanks.

sorry for the late reply, i meant this diff (missing stuff in bold)

TL;DR: no
If your card is a rtx 1660, you should be able to run the latest Nvidia drivers.

Where did you take this from? It does not appear to be the one I presented in my previous posting: [Testing Update] 2022-01-24 - OpenSearch, Kernels, VirtualBox, Systemd, Firefox, Linux-Firmware - #14 by DAC324

Just use that one and do not mess around with that map add module line.

To verify that the Nvidia driver 510.39.01 is running correctly with kernel 5.17-rc1, I just had a lot at my /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
So far, everything there looked like it should but there were the following lines at the very bottom:

According to Power management - ArchWiki, it may help if devices causing these errors are excluded from USB autosuspend.
Indeed, it looks like creating a file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-usb_power_save.rules with the following contents helps:

# blacklist for usb autosuspend
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="046d", ATTR{idProduct}=="c318", GOTO="power_usb_rules_end"

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", TEST=="power/control", ATTR{power/control}="auto"
LABEL="power_usb_rules_end"

Of course, you will have to change the Vendor and Product ID to fit your device. lsusb will help in finding out the proper values.

Thanks for the update!

It seems that I can search for AUR packages in pamac directly (if I open AUR support, I can search for package-name, official and AUR packages will show together without clicking the AUR button at the left, but if an official package has the same name with AUR package, it will only show the official one) now?

I noticed unmounting a USB storage triggers a Plasma crash/restart. On current Testing branch and on my parents computer on Stable branch (but still not to current Stable branch though). Old issue then, still not fixed.

//EDIT: this 427945 – Plasma Crashes when plugging in or unplugging removable drive

Welcome to the club :wink:
I’ve been suffering from this for ages…

To me this is very recent never had this issue since years I use KDE, but it seems the bug is opened since more than a year on KDE. It also seems some kind of patch is on its way as the bug as been closed.

Now I get it, the reason why I’ve been observing it for so long is that I use an external hard drive with ext4 partition on it for regular backups, and on every unmount a crash of Plasma occurs. I kinda got used to it eventually since anyway I use a bunch of out-of-tree widgets that I didn’t want to remove in order to find the cause of these crashes, so it means that I don’t have to do it actually, and that the fix is on its way, which is nice. Thanks for the link.

Good news: There is kernel 5.17-rc1, and this kernel is working well so far. It even has made it into Manjaro:

Of course, the updating frequency of that package will differ from the other kernel versions.

In that regard, it is a bit annoying that pamac requests a reboot every time one of the kernel packages is updated, no matter if this was the kernel currently in use or not.

Example: I am currently using kernel 5.17-rc1. Whenever there is an update for, let’s say, kernel 5.10, 5.15, or 5.16, pamac prompts me to reboot.
That does not entirely seem to make sense as I am, as said, currently not running any of those kernels.

You can just… not reboot?
