[Testing Update] 2023-05-11 - Python 3.11, GCC 13, GNOME 44.1, KDE Plasma 5.27.5

Anyone seeing any lag after logging in (post-GDM)? It seems when I boot up, or unlock my screen, my whole system locks up for a few seconds.

Anyone else seeing this lag / lock-up / freeze issue? Thanks.

I have an issue: gnome-shell’s theme seems to be no longer customizable:

I’m forced to use the default Adwaita theme and not the one I had before.

I too had the impression that it took more than usual from entering the password to having an operational desktop, but I’ve started the system only once. I’ll pay attention when I reboot.

After a second reboot, this problem has gone away. I can select a custom shell theme again.

That’s two issues you’re talking about here when in reality you didn’t check anything (being under “the impression” of something is irrelevant in this thread). Do not report or talk about issues if you didn’t even reboot or confirm there is an actual issue.

I had already re-booted once, obviously. I’m not so stupid to report an issue after a major update without re-booting. Happy that a second reboot solved the issue (which wasn’t obvious).

Consider being nicer to other users. Cheers.

Thanks Philm, The firefox delay issue has been resolved thanks to your advice.

I inform you that I always restart the computer whenever there are updates, I did it on 05/2023/11 and today too.

I still can’t open the file manager, despite having followed the suggestion of lectrode, it didn’t have the expected results.

hamster-time-tracker failed to start with Python 3.11. It is a known upstream bug and should be fixed with the next release. See the above link for a workaround.

Nerd Fonts changed the naming scheme so I had to edit configuration of some applications where Nerd fonts are used.

I’m having the same issue with valgrind as mentioned here:

Update:

They were until they updated to at-spi2-core 2.48.2-1. :wink:

Done with 0.5.2-4.

I am on Xfce using dolphin as standard filemanager. After actual update dolphin is not able to open shortcuts to folders on xfce-desktop anymore.
Downgrade to version before actual update resolves the problem (dolphin 23.04.1-1 → 23.04.0-3).

Everything seems to be OK, unless I start any Proton Game. It shows CRITICAL Glib errors and crashes.

Since I have no idea at the moment what is happening, I probably restore my backup, because this update broke seriously something in the system.

I checked one native game, and it runs, but without a sound…, although system sounds are fine.

Curious, there is no way to shut down steam client. It shows:


Thread "CJobMgr::m_WorkThreadPool:2" (ID 2253) failed to shut down

I had to finish all the processes manually…

No issue with Proton games here.

I figured it out. I checked my python AUR packages and it turned out that optimus-manager-git is one of them. It was a very long time since I had to rebuild it, so I forgot that it can even happen.

Anyway, I rebuilt all my python AUR packages, rebooted and all works fine. Problem solved :). It was this pesky python all along. II’ve been warned, so it’s all my fault :wink: .
