Gnome 41 is maybe the biggest addition to this update
After a long time there is a new Xorg-Server release. 21.1 brings new features and might break support on Nvidia drivers. So let us know if you see any issues, before we drop them.
Finally there is the first stable release of LxQt!
No issues in this update. All extensions are working fine (dash-to-dock needed to be installed from github using AUR). Gnome 41 is noticeably smoother than 40. Much needed refinements and smoothness.
Just one thing, the latest 5.14 and 5.15 kernels have broken sleep/hibernate for me. I have intel 8th gen CPU and AMD GPU. If anyone knows how to fix them, please tell me. I cant figure out whats wrong. Everything works fine on 5.10 LTS but not on latest kernels.
Also, if i sleep/hibernate within 5 mins of PC booting, it works fine. But after that, it breaks. I can reproduce it everytime
I’ve noticed that GDM 41 is acting a bit weird on my side. Even if the X11 session is selected, it will log into Wayland unless I click the x11 session before login. Means i have to repeat that at every reboot.
Need to see if I can find a bug report about that.
Dont know, it was disabled (and showing not compatible) when i booted after installing the updates. So i installed the git version and rebooted and it worked fine.
Well, I lost video playing with that update.
Both in Firefox and in Edge, in wayland and in Xorg… And also in SMPlayer.
Also, Firefox and Thunderbird are freezing for 15 seconds every other minute.
I’m on Gnome with amdgpu.
That’s alright, I am about to solve it.
I narrowed it down to pipewire.
During the update, it asked me if I wanted to replace pipewire-media-session by wireplumber. I said yes. That change broke the sound. I have no output devices, hence no video playing.
The default has always been pipewire-media-session, but I think wireplumber will eventually replace it. So I went ahead with replacing it when asked during the update.
I think it also uninstalled manjaro-pipewire alongside pipewire-media-session. Basically, it just created a big mess.
I have reverted the change, cleaned house on config files and now everything is back in order, got output devices back (and the volume icon) and video playing is working anew.
I’ve read several cases of unwanted Wayland switch following the Gnome 41 upgrade.
I hadn’t encountered anything similar, updating was transparent after reboot. I just made the update in TTY, and do not have any exotic setup in conf files.
My few extensions worked out of the box following 41, including Dash to Dock. No need to use the AUR version.
Hi, there is an issue with installing 5.15 realtime kernel. After installation in grub its recognized as normal 5.15. When both 5.15 and 5.15-rt are installed, the system hangs on boot (no 5.15_rt17-1 option in grub only 5.15.2-1), no difference it is installed via Pamac or Manjaro Settings Manager.
