[Testing Update] 2022-02-04 - 4.x-Kernels, Pipewire 0.3.45, Linux-Firmware

philm · 4 February 2022 12:25

Hello community,

Another testing branch update with some usual updates for you.

Our friends at Starlabs create laptops to be always repairable and customizable with the intention of creating a seamless experience. Find out more

We readded 4.x kernels. Note that 4.4 series is now marked EOL
linux-firmware we kept split-up, however we ship them uncompressed to support 4.x kernels still
PipeWire got updated to 0.3.45 for fixing Audio issues with Zoom and other communication apps
The usual upstream updates including Haskell and Python

You may need to rebuild any AUR packages that install files to site-packages …

You may need to rebuild any Python packages you’ve installed from the AUR. To get a list of them, you can run:
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9
And to rebuild them all at once with an AUR helper such as yay, you can do:
yay -S $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) --answerclean All
But if any of the packages don’t work with Python 3.10 yet, this might fail halfway through and you’ll have to do rebuild the remaining ones one or a few at a time.

Get our latest daily developer images now from Github: Plasma, Gnome, XFCE. You get the latest stable releases of Manjaro from CDN77.

Python packages from PIP and AUR - how to upgrade them - detailed instructions

Read this post.

freetype2 update might result in font characters becoming squares

Don’t worry, a relogin to your UI should fix it. We recommend to do the update in a TTY. Affected UIs so far: Gnome, Phosh, Cinnamon.

compiz packages like compiz-easy-patch got dropped from our repositories.

compiz packages like compiz-easy-patch got dropped from our repositories. Due to protobuf update you may need to rebuild that package locally on your end. Compiz-easy-patch removed from repos

Announcement for PipeWire users

Re-enable any per-user enabled pipewire-media-session.service manually:

You should re-enable any per-user pipewire-media-session.service manually to establish a new service alias for pipewire-session-manager.service added with 0.3.38.

systemctl --user enable pipewire-media-session

See the PipeWire Release Notes for more info

New warnings when building the fallback initcpio - Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa, qed, qla1280, qla2xxx

That’s due to the recent changes to the linux-firmware package. Note these are warnings, not errors. You only need those firmwares if you have Mellanox Spectrum switches, Marvell devices, Qualcomm SoCs, Cavium LiquidIO server adapters, QLogic devices and Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb ethernet adapters. if you have that hardware you can install linux-firmware-qlogic to get rid of those warnings. If you do not have that hardware you can safely ignore those warnings.

pamac install linux-firmware-qlogic

Older Issues

OS prober does not run and add other operating systems*

To restore, please execute: echo GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false|sudo tee -a /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub

For more information, see opening post in [Stable Update] 2021-03-08.

Nvidia card owners

We simplified nVidia driver installation. This means we dropped legacy drivers.
- We recommend to switch over to Nouveau drivers if your card is mentioned here and the feature you need is not in red TO DO here for your particular card.
- If you however still need proprietary drivers, you may want to execute the following to ensure all parts of the nVidia drivers get installed properly:
```
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
```
  If proprietary drivers don't fix everything, please click the ► at the beginning of this line to view more info
  1. try installing kernel 5.4 LTS (Long Term Support)
  2. If that doesn’t fix it, take a full system backup, go to a console using Ctrl+Alt+F2 and:
  - Backup /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf if you ever edited that manually
  - remove all nVidia related drivers and applications:
```
pacman --remove nvidia*
```
  - Note which applications are being removed and keep them handy in a list
  - Install the driver first:
```
mhwd --install video-hybrid-XXX-nvidia-prime
```
    (Where XXX is amd or intel if you have hybrid graphics or the whole thing is video-nvidia if you’re on an nVidia-only system)
  - reboot and see if you at least get a screen.
  - Install all the other applications from your handy list that you still need one by one.
  - Restore /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf if you ever edited that manually
  - If that wouldn’t solve the issue open a new issue here referring to this update and posting at a minimum the full output of:
```
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
```
  If you however still have issues with your Nvidia card, you may open a new thread in our forum: Graphics & Display - Manjaro Linux Forum or look at our tutorial on compiling old Nvidia drivers.

For AMD GPU users having a black screen with kernel 5.10

Due to a bug in the AMD drivers, please try the following first:

For GRUB:

Open a terminal or a TTY
Open /etc/default/grub in your favourite CLI editor (nano vi, emacs`)
Find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="
Add amdgpu.dc=0
Save
Execute sudo update-grub and reboot

For systemd-boot:

Open a terminal or a TTY
Open /boot/loader/entries/manjarolinux5.10.conf in your favourite CLI editor (nano vi, emacs`)
Add amdgpu.dc=0 to the end of the line options
Save & reboot

For rEFInd:

Open a terminal or a TTY
Open /boot/refind_linux.conf in your favourite CLI editor (nano vi, emacs`)
Find the line: "Boot using default options" "root=
Add amdgpu.dc=0
Save & reboot

Possible 2 Min delay on shutdown with Gnome

If you got the problem with shutdown delay (about 2min) on Gnome, here is a workaround:
- Edit /usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-session-restart-dbus.service in your favourite editor as root and add Slice=-.slice as a line all by itself like this:
```
[Service]
Type=notify
Slice=-.slice
ExecStart=/usr/lib/gnome-session-ctl --restart-dbus
```

Touchpad on a ThinkPad stops working

Restart again, please.

$PKGNAME warning: directory permissions differ on $Directoryname

followed by:

Filesystem: NNN package MMM

The solution:
```
sudo chmod MMM DirectoryName
```
Where obviously MMM is the second number you see (the correct one)
The explanation:
Your package expects the security permissions to be MMM but your system is set to NNN. This is just a warning (today) but to ensure you remain up-to-date with the latest and greatest security rules it’s advised to execute the above command.

Systemd error message: .slice: Failed to migrate controller cgroups

If you have a similar error message like this:

systemd[1004]: -.slice: Failed to migrate controller cgroups from /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service, ignoring: Permission denied

… you may need to add this Grub parameter to your /etc/default/grub file in line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT: systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=true. To update your grub menu, call: sudo update-grub. For more information on that issue, see also Arch Forum.

Python 3.9 Requires Rebuilds

Instructions for quickly and easily rebuilding affected AUR packages:

# Install yay
sudo pacman -S --needed --noconfirm yay

# Rebuild AUR python packages
yay -S --noconfirm $(pacman -Qqo "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages")

libtraceevent>=5.9-1 update requires manual intervention

2020-10-23 - Sébastien Luttringer

The libtraceevent package prior to version 5.9-1 was missing a soname link. This has been fixed in 5.9-1, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked files created by ldconfig. If you get any of these errors
libtraceevent: /usr/lib/libtraceevent.so.1 exists in filesystem
when updating, use
pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/libtraceevent.so.1
to perform the upgrade.

Arch Linux - News: libtraceevent>=5.9-1 update requires manual intervention

OpenVPN connection times out

Workaround: downgrade openvpn (2.5.0-1 => 2.4.9-2).
For a proper solution follow this bug report on Arch Linux: FS#68480 : [openvpn] running unprivileged with iproute no longer working

PAM and PAMBASE got updated, which might prevent you from login

Due to updates from pambase and pam you might take care about any .pacnew files in /etc/pam.d as for example pam_tally, pam_tally2 and pam_cracklib got deprecated. Read in the ArchWiki about managing those files.

Typical issue:

For recovery, it is enough to boot with kernel option “systemd.unit=rescue.target”, then proceed into /etc/pam.d and merge “system-auth” and “system-auth.pacnew”

System takes a long time to boot

If you’ve got errors like Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online. you can try removing systemd from passwd and group in /etc/nsswitch.conf as described here
Update: If you can see the line
dbus-daemon[1453]: [system] Connection has not authenticated soon enough, closing it (auth_timeout=30000ms, elapsed: 45146ms)
in in your dbus log ( journalctl -b -u dbus ), the new/better workaround is to switch cups from service to socket as described here:
systemctl disable cups.service
systemctl enable cups.socket

I think I've some font problems

With the update of fontconfig some major rules how fonts get applied changed. Make sure that your system has ttf-dejavu installed. A more in depth explanation can be found here.

Please RTFT (Read This Fine Thread) first before reporting the same issues over and over again!

Thanks for pulling PipeWire 0.3.45. 0.3.44 contains a major bug that breaks Zoom, Telegram and others.

aconverse · 4 February 2022 17:26

This update (well probably the previous when we hit nvidia 510) broke my ability to load Xorg. The logs seemed to imply my xinerama (multimonitor) config has become a problem.

I was able to fix by blowing away my x config and reinstalling nvidia with mhwd.

hummel · 5 February 2022 09:18

Pacman responds like this to the update, although jack2 is not part of my system anymore:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: jack2 and pipewire-jack are in conflict

What could be the reason for that?

i “solved” it by removing anything pipewire-related, doing the update and installing pipewire afterwards again. Seems to work.
The only strange thing is, that in the “Carla”-patchbay there are no nodes anymore besides “Audio Input/Ouput” and “Midi Input/Output” - and Midi in general doesnt seem to connect…

Wow this seems like a large update (for me):

Total Download Size:    498.25 MiB
Total Installed Size:  1289.12 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:       279.40 MiB

Haven’t seen something this big in a while.

Mirdarthos · 5 February 2022 14:49

Was this sarcasm? It might have been. I hope so. Mine is regularly more than that:

Total download size: 2.4 GB
Total installed size: -387.3 MB
Total removed size: 388.9 kB

That’s about average.

A4orce84 · 5 February 2022 14:51

Indeed it was.

Mirdarthos · 5 February 2022 14:53

Glad to hear!

Did you have installed all of 20K packages from all Manjaro repos?

So general kernel question, is 5.15 Kernel LTS officially, and 5.16 is the new bleeding edge?

Thanks!

ishaan2479 · 5 February 2022 16:28

5.15 is LTS, 5.16 is Stable and 5.17 is Bleeding edge. See https://kernel.org/

zomberman · 6 February 2022 09:45

Hi Folks, do you know if the brtfs autodefrag issue has been solved in linux516, please?
Thanks.

ishaan2479 · 6 February 2022 10:04

@zomberman It was patched in 5.16.5. Just to confirm, 5.15 is not affected by the bug in 5.16. Also both stable and testing have 5.16.5 and unstable is at 5.16.6. More related stuff.

Locutus · 6 February 2022 12:32

Just switched to 5.16.5 yesterday and not having any issues.
