Aw, thanks for the heads-up!
I have tried 5.12 literally yesterday, and thanks dog avoided this issue.
I receive three updates from AUR:
- python2-pybluez 0.23-1
- python2-pycriptodomex 3.9.9-2
- python2-simplejson 3.17.2-4
should I go on and update?
The AUR?
Maybe is something I installed sometime a go and not needed anymore, I think it will not damage anything. Anyway remove them.
They were dropped to the AUR from the Arch repos. Check and see what programs you have installed that require them.
Python 2 is EOL (End Of Life), move on to Python 3.
I checked and removed all three.
Only puthon2-simplejson was a dependency of “namebench” and was removed too.
Thanks!

I’m currently building version 5.12.rc1.d0301.g7a7fd0d-1
As soon as it is available on unstable, please test it and give me feedback here.
Installed, no changes.

This might be a regression that should be fixed upstream.
It’s very possibly a regression, indeed. It works on my machine. If you could bisect the kernel, I believe that’d be the fastest way to determine the cause.

Hope it is in a good shape when it hit marked as stable
Reminder, today’s the day with the release of 89.0.4389.72:
Chromium losing Sync support in early March
2021-02-03 - Evangelos Foutras
Google has announced that they are going to block everything but Chrome from accessing certain Google features (like Chrome sync) starting on March 15. This decision by Google is going to affect Arch’s
chromiumpackage a bit earlier, on March 2, when Chromium 89 gets released.We know for sure that data syncing will stop working (passwords, bookmarks, etc.). Other features such as geolocation or enhanced spell check might continue to function for a bit longer. Extensions integrating with Google Drive might misbehave and LibreOffice will lose access to documents stored there.
Other distros such as openSUSE and Fedora have already removed the soon-to-be-limited API keys from their Chromium 88 packages. Fedora’s advisory provides a great deal of perspective on this and I also found this Hackaday post to be quite informative.

Great! Pipewire upgrade to 1:0.3.23-1 resolved a nasty vlc issue with AC3 codec!
For me problem is fixed with 5.11.3 and aur/mesa-git. No more log spam.
