The sshd service needs to be restarted after upgrading to openssh-9.8p1

2024-07-01 - Robin Candau

After upgrading to openssh-9.8p1, the existing SSH daemon will be unable to accept new connections (see Can't login after openssh 9.8p1-1 upgrade, MUST restart sshd (#5) · Issues · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / openssh · GitLab).
When upgrading remote hosts, please make sure to restart the sshd service using systemctl try-restart sshd right after upgrading.

We are evaluating the possibility to automatically apply a restart of the sshd service on upgrade in a future release of the openssh-9.8p1 package.

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.

Previous testing threads:

LLVM + Clang etc also got updated to 18.
So be prepared in case of using mesa-git etc to recompile and solve some dependencies (e.g. ‘yay -d’ and build mesa afterwards)

with kernel 6.9.8-1 & nvidia 555.58.02 for GTX 970 series

i have in red this two line

juil. 07 11:33:42 kernel: [drm:drm_new_set_master] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000700] Failed to grab modeset ownership
juil. 07 11:33:42 kernel: [drm:drm_new_set_master] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000700] Failed to grab modeset ownership

this is this point

that reappears

Thread cleaned. :broom:

Manjaro has three branches. If you require newer packages, switch to the appropriate branch.

Did you read that from Nvidia developer?

You can avoid the problem by loading nvidia-drm with the fbdev=1 parameter. But like I mentioned in my earlier reply, this message is usually harmless and expected. You can just ignore it if you’re not having any functional problems regarding applications using DRM just for rendering.

this is only remove the two red lines , nothing else …
a little change on boot screen

before : grub ( text ) > systemd text > UEFI logo motherboard > left corner (nvidia ) more than 3sec (TTY1) > Xfce login

after
grub ( text ) > left corner (nvidia ) more than 3sec (TTY1) > Xfce login

that do not solve locking screen endin on login with black screen and mouse that you can move ( Ctrl + Alt + F7 returns same ) in both cases

@stephane check which plymouth version is installed on your end. Newer versions than 22 series might have issues with Nvidia drivers.

i have removed plymouth form a long time

Read the Nvidia driver discussion thread if you think it is the driver: 555 release feedback & discussion - Linux - NVIDIA Developer Forums

I can confirm that DVI output is not working with Nvidia 555 driver. Tested on my dual monitor setup. 550 working super fine.

DVI-D and DVI-I?
