[Unstable Update] 2021-10-23 - Kernels, Nvidia, Haskell, Kodi, Thunderbird, PHP, Wine

So, I now tested GSYNC again myself, and I get either frequent black screen flickers or multiple second periods of black screen. I’ve only tested this with Death Stranding. Not playing a larger variety of games at this moment.

These issues are plaguing the Windows drivers too, it’s annoying as hell.

Qt6 apps (strawberry) crash with a core dump after the recent qt6 update (6.2.1-2). I had to rebuild qt6ct (qt6 settings) against qt6.2.1-2 to get Strawberry working again. I don’t use Strawberry much, so I am unsure if it also did not launch when qt6base updated to 6.2.1-1.

I can’t reproduce that.

@Yochanan Strange that on my Arch VM, I did not have this issue. The only difference there is that I do not have qt6ct installed in VM. Someone on the Endeavour forum had the same issue and also had qt6ct installed.

I have qt6ct installed as well. However, I’m not actively using it at the moment. I’m currently usiung qgnomeplatform-qt6 + adwaita-qt6.

I think there is a problem with the power management for NVIDIA card in optimus laptop with the package nvidia-utils,I opened an issue with more details

I am having this error when installing new kernel linux-515:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.15.0-1-MANJARO (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/v4l2loopback/0.12.5/build/make.log for more information.

The information in /var/lib/dkms/v4l2loopback/0.12.5/build/make.log:

I removed.
I chose the easy way :slightly_smiling_face:.
It was a dependency of simple-droid-cam (AUR) , which I don’t use anymore.
Anyway thanks!

When using Nvidia 495 and Plasma 5.23+, the plasma shell (kwin?) doesn’t graphically update unless I move my mouse around, anyone else? Can’t figure out if this is a bug I should report to KDE or not.

I don’t have that issue and I have 495 nvidia and 5.23.2,maybe you are in Wayland?

Yes, forgot to mention that, sorry. I’ve gotten too accustomed to Wayland as my daily driver it seems.

I’m mostly curious if it’s just on my machine or something everyone/others are experiencing :blush: I couldn’t get the same to happen in an Arch VM but obviously that’s a bit different when it comes to rendering graphics.

You seem to have KDE+Nvidia+Wayland so to me that’s the death combo. Your VM is totaly different setup. You can’t compare it.

Well we added now 470.82.00. Let’s see how it works.

3 posts were split to a new topic: Package information is present in db, but the package itself is absent on the servers

Manjaro doesn’t incorporate workarounds like this for dbus spam, I reckon?

Are you reporting a bug or requesting a feature? Please open a new thread.

It’s just a question, since 495.44 drivers has a bug, that’s for Nvidia to fix. What I linked was just a workaround to stop the logs from filling up with dbus warnings. Not sure if it prevents dbus-daemon from bloating up. Mine got to over 500 MiB at its worst.

Hi, I noticed that there is a GPU hang regression on the Kernel 5.10.77

Arch Linux have already a patch for this:
