[Testing Update] 2022-04-28 - Kernels, GNOME 42.1 & NVIDIA

I just tried to install the update, before I mess up my system, I’m asking how to best resolve this dependency conflict:

sudo pacman -Syu

I’m currently on the “Testing Update 2022-04-25” using GNOME.

Thank you very much :pray:

@Yochanan Unfortunately this update did not solve the problem of the Google Drive integration with nautilus stopped working. Maybe is it a local config file I need to remove? Regards.

Plasma and AMD Mesa driver here. Everything works for me, thanks.

You can always try by yourself, by creating a test user, try on this fresh user, and see if the issue exists on this user, you’ll know if the issue is on the system or on your user.

Nice job and thank you guys! Bless your fingers :slight_smile:

Since previous update, kipi-plugins, libkipi and libmediawiki were orphaned, and then relegated to AUR packages. I removed them. But now, if on an image I try to share->imgur from Dolphin or export->imgur from Spectacle, it crashes, and doesn’t send images to imgur website like it would before. What is weird is that the options to send to external services are still there, despite the kipi plugin and dependencies being removed. Something is not right.

@omano what you describe is working for me and I also uninstalled the kipi packages

OK thanks, I reinstalled the AUR packages to test and it is not working. I’ll try to debug the issue on my side then.

//EDIT: indeed issue was on my side, errors about OpenGL, reboot fixed it.

I had the same issue. I opened Settings > Online accounts and I re-entered usernames and passwords for the Google accounts. After that, Google drive works again in Nautilus.

I finally found a solution that worked for my case. For some reason I didn’t have the package installed gvfs-google and pamac install gvfs-google did the trick. I checked the presence of gvfs-goa also and that was there. The weird fact is I had this same problem in 3 different machines.

Always check optional dependencies depending on your needs. With gvfs, there are quite a few. Not everyone needs all of them.

Optional Deps   : gvfs-afc: AFC (mobile devices) support
                  gvfs-smb: SMB/CIFS (Windows client) support
                  gvfs-gphoto2: gphoto2 (PTP camera/MTP media player) support
                  gvfs-mtp: MTP device support
                  gvfs-goa: gnome-online-accounts (e.g. OwnCloud) support
                  gvfs-nfs: NFS support
                  gvfs-google: Google Drive support
                  gtk3: Recent files support

Currently we include all of them on the GNOME ISO due to user feedback:

Had the exact same issue on nemo (running cinnamon) as well. Ssme fix worked for me as well

Why linux518-nvidia listed in orphans?

Just a guess but it maybe because 5.18 kernel has not been released as stable yet.

Depends on linux-518 and nvidia-utils=510.68.02

but I’m using the linux-518 with nvidia GPU

uname -a                                                                                                                                                                                            
Linux amroemad-aorus17gyc 5.18.0-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Apr 27 23:30:24 UTC 2022 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Because it was installed as a dependency and the package depending on it is no longer installled (or there didn’t exist any such package in the first place).

linux518 (or any kernel for that matter) doesn’t list nvidia drivers as a dependency but it is required by linux518-nvidia:

$ pacman -Sii linux518
...
Depends On      : coreutils  linux-firmware  kmod  mkinitcpio>=27
Optional Deps   : wireless-regdb: to set the correct wireless channels of your country
