[Unstable Update] 2020-12-02 - BREAKAGE EXPECTED - Python 3.9, Nvidia driver simplification, KDE-git

systemctl don`t needs sudo

There’s a thread about it here:

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch testing
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch testing

You can use su to start a root shell instead.

is pamac broken? I’m trying to install virtualbox-ext-oracle from AUR, this is what I get during auth (without actually typing the password):

** (pkttyagent:66921): WARNING **: 17:00:15.007: Error reading line from helper: nothing to read
==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ====
Error: Authentication failed

Whereas pamac-manager gets stuck on Checking inter-conflicts…
P.S. I’m asking here because it’s the most recent topic, but I’m pretty sure this issue was caused by today’s (09-12-2020) update

It’s likely that not only sudo but also the polkit authentication is broken, while su still works. I’ve already rolled back to testing branch to get a working sudo back :upside_down_face:

when did that change? I’ve been using sudo for systemctl forever it seems…

You can use it, but not necessarily. It will ask for password if necessary. :slight_smile:

Maybe the wrong question, but will the Manjaro team announce when breakage is no longer expected? Thanks.

It strange that you get sudo segfault - I am running several systems on unstable branch and have never run into this.

I think - but I have nothing to back it - could it be due to - accidental of course - a partially synced system?

Or it could be environment specific - although I have idea how that should happen - but we have seen stranger things.

I solved the segfault issue by downgrading fprintd from 1.90.6-1 -> 1.90.1-1 and libfprint from 1.90.5-1 -> 1.90.3-1.

I don’t have a fingerprint reader on my system so I removed both of those packages and sudo now works for me too.

Thanks!

The segfault issue is now fixed with fprintd 1.90.7-1:

Manjaro Einstellungsmanager --> Hardwarekonfiguration
Das Fenster ist leer.
“Alle Geräte anzeigen” funktioniert noch.

Manjaro Settings Manager -> Hardware Configuration
The window is empty.
“Show all devices” still works.
I have an MSI RX5500 8GB with the free drivers. Gnome unstable.
.
EDIT: solved by installing the free drivers via Live-USB - mhwd-x was missing in System! (Why? nobody nose)
EDIT: removed by system-upgrade on 7-December 2020 - not reinstalled - installed new now.
(mhwd / v86d / mhwd-db/ mhwd-amdgpu / mhwd-ati / mhwd-nvidia (455.45.01-2) / mhwd-nvidia-390xx)

I switched to Unstable branch today on one of my computers as I needed Calibre 5.7 because the pdf rendering bug has been fixed with that version. All is working fine, xfce with 5.10rc7. The only packages from AUR that I needed to rebuild were (seldomly used) vidcutter and multibootusb. Nice job!

I guess I spoke too soon.:
Same issue as user willyleles:
“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.”

systemctl restart lightdm gets it working for now.
Edit #2 removed light-locker, installed xfce4-screensaver, Enabled lockscreen in xfce4-screensaver. Now that works fine.

It has been reported here:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68905

I wondered too

on Unstable it seems there is 2 version of libldac

libldac 2.0.2.3-2.0 -> community
libldac 2.0.2.3-1 -> extra

According to arch repository… only the libldac 2.0.2.3-1 in extra should be here…

Yep, just removed it.

Reason:
ZDOTDIR=$HOME
missing in .zshrc
