@oberon is current working on the extramodules for 495 driver series. We had some low staffing this week due to some vacations and other things going on. For sure the modules may be online in some hours …

Due to this.

Has anyone been able to get Plasma 5.23.2 desktop to be GPU accelerated with Nvidia in the Wayland session? Whenever I log in to Plasma Wayland with Nvidia 495.44 installed, Plasma renders with llvmpipe, X works as intended. Reverting to 47x fixes Wayland (uses my GTX 1060 instead of llvmpipe)

Tried different kernels, made sure my modesetting config was correct, checked package versions for stuff such as xwayland and egl-wayland, all up to date.

Usually I’m a patient soul; but this GBM support has me drooling, lol

Seems we’re waiting for an egl-wayland and Qt update for this to work properly, so for now we have to use EGLStreams for just a little bit longer. Solution in link.

Some urgent info for all “Unstablers”:

The latest series of updates will make your system unbootable if you’re using LVM and udev-based initramfs. Here is what I’m looking at right now:

Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux514.preset: 'default'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-5.14-x86_64 -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-5.14-x86_64.img

This was udev-based initramfs.
Now let’s move to systemd-based:

==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux514.preset: 'systemd'
  -> -k /boot/vmlinuz-5.14-x86_64 -c /etc/mkinitcpio.systemd.conf -g /boot/initramfs-5.14-x86_64-systemd.img
==> Starting build: 5.14.14-1-MANJARO
  -> Running build hook: [base]

==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: qat_4xxx

  -> Running build hook: [filesystems]
==> Generating module dependencies
==> Creating zstd-compressed initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-5.14-x86_64-systemd.img
==> Image generation successful

Seems OK with systemd hook. Will reboot now and see, but I already can tell that udev-based initramfs’ images I have now are slightly smaller than systemd-based ones, which is the opposite of what it used to be on my machine.

Hilariously both have “Image generation successful” report at the end :crazy_face:

PS: the last batch of updates I’m talking about contained these packages:

python-pexpect (4.8.0-3 -> 4.8.0-4)
python-ptyprocess (0.7.0-1 -> 0.7.0-2)
python-cachetools (4.2.3-1 -> 4.2.4-1)
openexr (3.1.2-1 -> 3.1.3-1)
lvm2 (2.03.13-1 -> 2.03.14-1)
cryptsetup (2.4.1-1 -> 2.4.1-3)
device-mapper (2.03.13-1 -> 2.03.14-1)

EDIT:
Yep, as expected, system is unbootable with udev initramfs, but works fine with systemd-based one.

There’s a command add_udev_rule in updated lvm2 hook, but /usr/lib/initcpio/functions has no such command:

I saw this too late and I rebooted my machine, now I can’t recover.
I am sorry but does anyone know a good way to recover?

Chroot to your system from live OS and downgrade lvm2 and cryptsetup packages.

@alven do not reboot :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

To avoid such issues and feel a bit pro (only a lil bit though) you guys can use a cool trick to generate both udev- and systemd-based initrds when updating kernels, cryptsetup and other stuff that triggers initrds’ rebuild:

  1. Do cp /etc/mkinitcpio.conf /etc/mkinitcpio.systemd.conf
  2. Open /etc/mkinitcpio.systemd.conf with some editor
  3. Find HOOKS section
  4. Make it look like this: HOOKS=(base systemd keyboard sd-vconsole autodetect sd-plymouth modconf block sd-plymouth-tpm2-totp sd-encrypt lvm2 filesystems)
    instead of this: HOOKS=(base udev keyboard consolefont autodetect plymouth modconf block plymouth-tpm2-totp tpm2 plymouth-encrypt lvm2 resume filesystems)
    Basically just do as Arch Wiki suggests. I’m writing “like” because the above reflects my set of hooks, yours may be very different. You need a general understanding what you’re doing that’s why I mentioned Arch Wiki as a reference.
  5. After saving that file, navigate to /etc/mkinitcpio.d and open any preset there, say, linux515.preset.
  6. Modify the line PRESETS=('default' 'fallback') to PRESETS=('default' 'systemd')
  7. Add there the following:
systemd_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.systemd.conf"
systemd_image="/boot/initramfs-5.15-x86_64-systemd.img"
#systemd_options=""

Done! Now every time you initiate mkinitcpio manually or by pacman hook (during installing updates) mkinitcpio will build 2 initrds for linux 5.15: udev-based and systemd-based. If something goes bad and you won’t be able to boot all you need to do is to select 5.15 entry in Grub menu, press E, modify initramfs path from initramfs-5.15-x86_64.img to initramfs-5.15-x86_64-systemd.img and press Ctrl + X to boot.
Of course there are other obstacles if you are using encryption for example, but you got the general idea I guess. Edit Grub’s cmdline too, if needed. Or you can go further and add a respective entry to Grub / systemd-boot menu if you want. That’s another story though.

I downgraded but I am still seeing add_udev_rule issues
in initcpio functions.

Huh?

As you can see, issue “got fixed” right upon installing (downgrading to) the previous version of lvm2. So I guess you’re doing it wrong.
You’d better quit Unstable branch if you can’t downgrade or else one day you gonna bork your install irrevocably.

UPD: Ah I’m sorry too, I see now how your set up is done. No plymouth-encrypt hook I suppose but encrypt instead…

if you are downgrading dont you have to downgrade “device-mapper” as well.

I am sorry I was not very clear, I was able to downgrade cleanly using my cache the issue was since i use encryption I needed to downgrade cryptsetup too, thanks for your help!

Ah, that’s interesting. So you did it from chrooted system, right? I have encryption too but I haven’t downgraded cryptsetup as well. Lvm2 was enough to make its hook work with Manjaro’s mkinitcpio.

OK then, glad it worked for you :+1:

Yes, that’s how I did it, downgraded to lvm2 first and then again cryptsetup, now I can boot cleanly.

This seems to the commit that added add_udev_rule to encrypt hooks upgpkg: cryptsetup 2.4.1-2: update mkinitcpio hooks · archlinux/svntogit-packages@57b7f78 · GitHub

No it’s another tool. Found it finally:

In brief, we need an update to systemd, @philm @oberon @Yochanan (aah, somebody help! [Eminem screams in background :smile:])

Btw I hope you guys have read my PM, it’s only a beginning, soon mkinitcpio update will bring a lot of more headache or this sort.

Looks like the error was fixed

If I will not edit this post to mention that it is fixed in 10 minutes, than I started to search my LiveCD boot media.

I am happy that somebody posted the problem when met it and it was solved fast.
TY!
