[Unstable Update] 2020-09-13 - Kernels, Qt 5.15.1, Browser, Pamac

It’s not an “issue” per se, I just enabled downgrading for this one package afterwards and thus updated to the latest available version:

$ sudo pacman -Suu sndio

It’s not an orphan becaus it’s an optional dependency for another package.

It was on my system as libquicktime wasn’t installed. Actually, I took the opportunity to clean up all the real orphans on my system and regained 500MB of disk space :slightly_smiling_face:

Curiously, python2 was also removed per the wiki -Qtd command (versus -Qttd)…that was a bit odd considering that’s optional for a few installed packages but nonetheless didn’t cause issues for me after removal.

I updated to nvidia 455. The package, nvidia-455xx-utils, doesn’t include /usr/bin/nvidia-settings, am I missing something here?

That does seem to be the case. Neither pacman -F, nor the PKGBUILD appears to indicate that it is part of nvidia-455xx-utils.

It’s now included. And a new orphan removed: python-sip

Gnome 3.38
Manything is working but some extensions not yet updated:
(Sensor Perception) <-- working again! after update.

I installed the Gnome 3.38 from the unstable branch (and all other updates from that bracch)/

I am using the nouveau driver which has been working fine for months.

Now Gnome crashes on startup and I can not run an X session.

dmesg shows the following error:

direct firmware load for nouveau/nv84_xuc00f failed with error -2

Checking some more, the problem seems to be with gnome-shell/mutter 3.38.1

After downgrading both of those to the 3.36.6 versions, I am able to run the Gnome desktop again along with the various 3.38 gnome applications

NOTE: I still get the error about failed firmware load but it doesn’t seem to matter.

Bluetooth audio seems to be broken with “pulseaudio-modules-bt” after the latest update (it does work with “pulseaudio-bluetooth” though)

edit needs rebuilt against pulseaudio 13.99.2

Me too.
Would this help?: sudo usermod -a -G systemd-journal [username]
Besides: on Gnome 3.38 the close-gadget of some progs react very slow…

@oberon, it seems your PGP key is invalid.

i have just tried to update to qt5-base-5.15.1-3-x86_64 and got this error message:

qt5-base: signature from "Bernhard Landauer <oberon@manjaro.org>" is invalid

Yep, can confirm ALSA-Driver is buggy:
snd_ens1371

snd_pcm_avail() gave value 0 or another one < min_avail

Needs to reported to the Developer of the ALSA Driver

um…nvidia-455xx-utils v455.28-1 omits nvidia-settings again?

Thanks for the hint - I’ll fix this right away (with build -2).

Gnome 3.38 - everything works now (10/10/2020)

I ran gnome-reset and removed manjaro-gnome-settings.

All is well with gnome 3.38.1 now

The app corectrl needs a rebuild. Now complains about missing libbotan-2.so.15. Building from AUR or creating a symbolic link from libbotan-2.so fixes it.

creating a symbolic link from libbotan-2.so to where?
Edit:
rename link: /usr/lib/libbotan-2.so.16 to /usr/lib/libbotan-2.so.15

Recent updates have resolved this for the .Leave > Shut down sequence, but not the Leave > Restart sequence.
