[Unstable Update] 2020-12-12 - BREAKAGE EXPECTED - Kernels, KDE Apps 20.12, Gstreamer, Qt6, Boost, Haskell

Thanks for the info. I just removed bootsplash from mkinitcpio and both bootsplash and apparmor from grub in preparation for when kernel 5.10 arrives in Stable. My laptop now starts and shuts down while displaying just the vendor logo, no issues.

Only had to rebuild Autokey. all else works fine so far.

I needed to downgrade re2 in order for ungoogled-chromium to work.

Kernel 5.10.1-3 – ERROR-messages on booting, but no consequence
(could only read something like: “…wrong endian…”) - not found in the dmsg…

Downgrading libraries aren’t the solution. Instead, packages need to be rebuilt against newer libraries. AUR packages are your own responsibility, please don’t post about them in Announcement threads. If you need help, please post in #support:aur.

I started getting the same error today after upgrading to 5.10.1-2. Didn’t occur in 5.10.1-1.

Still boots and everything seems to work ok though

@philm anfd the team, would like to know whats the holdup promoting things to the testing branch. this seems to be stable enough except for few kernel 5.10 issues being sorted out.

or am i so naive. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Just switch to unstable if you think there will be no issues or are up to handling them, if/when they might appear.

Can confirm Unstable is pretty stable for now :wink:

Guys, guys … when can we expect kernel 5.10.1 (it being the latest since dec.14th)? Can we like skip RCx, RCy and RCz and go straight to the latest and hopefully most bugfixed version or am I missing something… I mean like do we really need to go through every inbetween version of kernel one by one?

I need 5.10.1 to get network driver r8169 with RTL8125 hw breakage with fragmented packets fixed. :smiley:

With today’s unstable update kernel 5.10.1-4. I lost the ability to connect to a wireless connection. It does not appear in Network Manager. Is this because linux510-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-xxxxx was not updated with the kernel upgrade?

Wireless now appears with upgrade to linux510-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-5 with 5.10.1-4

Confirmed! 5.9.15 is o.K.

Not for ryzen 5000 series. It does work sure, but 5.10 has a lot of performance improvements in it.

This looks like an additional item to be appended to grub:

# Uncomment to ensure that the root filesystem is mounted read-only so that
# systemd-fsck can run the check automatically
GRUB_ROOT_FS_RO=true

Plus this but otherwise :ok_hand:

I see nfs4 problems with systemd 247.2.

systemd 247.1-4 works fine.

I had this when my NFS3-only share was mounted without nfsvers=3 option in fstab.

The new pamac in unstable branch does not show the AUR updates.


It says no updates in the pamac, but the indicator just shows me that there is a new update.

What does the software mode mean?

I seldom use the GUI of pamac. pamac upgrade should work.
EDIT: My mirror was not up to date, and I hadn’t received pamac 10.0 upgrade when posting this comment.
