Shutdown and Wifi Issues on some AMD systems (including framework)
  • Problem: Kernel updates 6.1.91-1 and 6.6.31-1 break shutdown and suspend/resume on the Framework 16 (Ryzen 7 7840HS, no GPU)
  • Workaround: Downgrading back to 6.1.90-1 and 6.6.30-2 restores functionality. It has also been reported that kernel 6.9 does not have these issues.

No plasma interface with kernel 6.9 + Nvidia gpu + Wayland

If you encouter a black screen with no inteface after login in, it’s probably a problem with simpledrm loading.

To solve it add nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 to /etc/default/grub
in the line begining with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" .
Verify that you also have nvidia_drm.modeset=1 in the same line.
Then exec sudo update-grub

Also, verify that you have nvidia_drm in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf in the MODULES= or HOOKS= line.
Exemple :

MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)

If it was not present, then run sudo mkinitcpio -P after adding it.

The default KDE Plasma session has been changed to X11

As of Plasma 6, KDE decided to make Wayland the default. However, since issues were discovered, we have reverted the default to X11. Users are free to choose whichever works best for them.

New version of kvantum does not support QT5 theme

Install new package kvantum-qt5 for QT5 theme support
required for manjaro-settings-manager and audacious

pamac install kvantum-qt5

If Theme shows wrong colors:

cd $HOME; ln -s .profile .xprofile

Manjaro-settings-manager has light theme instead of dark

issues with auto-mount of ntfs filesystem using Kernel 6.8

The kernel changed default ntfs driver from FUSE one to ntfs3.
These two are not fully compatible, mainly as far as mount options go. If you have custom mount options in the fstab (or any other application, such as VeraCrypt) they need to be changed.

Symptoms:
Mount fails with: Device or resource busy
DMesg reports: Can't open blockdev

Solution:
Migrate your mount options. For me the changes were:

  • allow_other → umask=000
  • default_permissions → [drop]
  • user_id=1000 → uid=1000
  • group_id=1000 → gid=1000

gnome-keyring: ssh component is not included

ssh component is not included (#3) · Issues · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / gnome-keyring · GitLab

Previous testing threads:

sddm-greeter-qt coredumped at first reboot, but everything is fine at second reboot.

4

No issue, everything went smoothly. Cinnamon edition.Cinnamon-specific problems are excluded.

Might be helpful.
As for Microsoft Edge (AUR), all 500 tab sessions were blown away. Completely cleared. The extension has stopped working.

After rewriting /home with backintime, it was restored (I think).

octopi does not starts, downgraded to stable branch

6

It does now. I just pushed a fixed version, though you’ll have to install it manually as the broken version is “newer”.

0.15.0+19+ga081ac2b-1 = GOOD :+1:

0.16dev.r19.ga081ac2b-1 = BAD :-1:

dbus-python got to python-dbus; so had to remove packages with dependencies (was a few, mainly lib32 packages, but also steam-native, ibus…) and after update reinstalled and things working fine again :slight_smile:

8

thanks, now it works
it was installed automatically but I got 0.15.0+23+g8c508c91-1
back again to testing

Er? dbus-python provided python-dbus and now python-dbus provides dbus-python, you should not have had to do anything. :thinking:

qt-sudo went to AUR, have I to update it or remove?

11

Kernel updates 6.1.91-1 and 6.6.31-1 break shutdown and suspend/resume on the Framework 16 (Ryzen 7 7840HS, no GPU). Downgrading back to 6.1.90-1 and 6.6.30-2 restores functionality.

Other kernel versions might be affected, but have not tested.

Actually it’s the other way around. Ignore the AUR and update your repo packages first. The AUR version of qt-sudo is not compatible with Qt6.

Yeah, wondered also; but when i think about goes my bet which thingy this was causing on wine-gaming-dependencies for GE from the aur; that i remember i had also to remove. So hopefully this would not affect many users at all (since it is from aur and therefore also it`s only supported by my own risk:).

That package is ridiculous, do not use it.
