grub-vanilla needs to be rebuilt after latest unstable updates. grub-probe fails to run because of a missing libzfs.so.2. As a result linux59 kernel update does not complete.
I installed the grub package then reinstalled linux59 so I could boot my system.
As I remember, I’ve checked them with pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python3.8 and they do belong to gufw, but I didn’t take my computer with me today, so I cannot have a double check currently.
I’ve noticed that some of these packages (like xorg-server and its dependencies) and some packages fom the previous testing update (like plasma-desktop and all its components) have made it through to the stable branch.
Was this intentional ?
For the moment I’ve postponed this (stable) update.
Should I proceed with this update or not?
I thought I had got away with it, but I was wrong:
pikaur -Syu
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pikaur", line 5, in <module>
from pikaur.main import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pikaur'
Normally I do use pamac, but it doesn’t work in conjunction with systemd-nspawn which is why I use pikaur at times because that does work with it. I won’t bore you with the reasons why that is so, they are too complicated to explain.
Just found out that I have lost all printing ability now as well (hp printer - and yes I have reinstalled hplip). All connections to localhost are dead so forget cups I can’t even get the page up, and the Manjaro print settings just says ‘not connected’ all the time (obviously for the same reason) so that is no use either. I will let you know if I get a solution.
Edit. lo is up and accepting pings but nothing else.
pikaur was reinstated by a rebuild of the package.
I had already done that of course and it didn’t work, but next time I rebuilt it did work, so if you are affected by this rebuild it twice, don’t ask me why you have to do that though.
after today update I’m having a minor problem that’s when my session is locked return only a black screen. In a tty I can see that everything is normal, but I need to kill my session to able to see the login screen again (or startx a new session). I’m using lightdm. It also happens if I use xflock4, it will go direct to the black screen.
Did new tests without a second monitor, it will go to login, but to try to login with my user will result in a black screen.
Locking with xscreensaver and login will not result in a blackscreen but xscreensaver is too ugly to be used.
As the problem was with light-locker and there’s only a few other options to be used with lightdm, changed to sddm to work around the problem.
