[Unstable Update] 2022-04-07 - GNOME 42, Mesa 22.0.1, Octopi 0.13.0, KDE-git, Haskell

@Manjar0-Flow @caribo Looks like a custom theme and/or extension is causing both issues.

Thanks all … :+1:t3: I had extensions turned off and default themes set, but it looks to have been some older GDM tweaks that were causing this issue rather than the settings for the logged in user. resetting GDM settings resolves the issue and beautiful new OSD’s are in use.

still no OSD for enable/disable touchpad though…

I’ve personally removed the Manjaro shell theme and use the stock G42 Shell theme, so I can’t imagine the stock G42 theme is the problem.

As the Tray icons are shown through the ‘Tray Icons: Reloaded’ Gnome extension, that may well be where the problem comes from.

On my laptop the OSD associated with enabling / disabling the touchpad is OK in Wayland session, but does not appear in xorg sessions even although the touchpad is enabled/disabled correctly.

Speaking of Wayland, FYI, I tried force enabling it on the bleeding edge unstable update the other day, but it’s still not quite daily driver ready on my Nvidia GPU:

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2.

Just a quick note for those of you who are curious :slight_smile:

Though the biggest problem is flickering and random jittering, I’d kinda appreciate if all Linux distro’s decided to just default to this even with these bugs but still have the option to switch to x11, just to force Nvidia to get off their butt and deal with their GPU’s problems

after kde-framework (5.93) upgrade, the OSD is no more centered on screen, now displayed on top-left corner. is this expected behavior?

Which one?
There isn’t any change visible for the volume or screen-switching osd on my machines.

used to be all OSD when i noticed it, however it seems it just fixed itself after i tried invoking all OSDs. :man_shrugging:t4:

webdav mounts are broken, redhat bug ID 2066717. Fixed upstream but the patch hasn’t been built in arch yet.

This Packages are dropped from Repo.:

$ pacman -Qm
gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-6
gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.12.0-6
qpdfview 0.4.18-2

Oh that’s sad. I didn’t know it was that old and unmaintained.
Is there are a similarly simple pdf viewer with the same features?

xreader seems to be a better and maintained alternative. This is after trying 8 pdf viewers…

After today’s update, the search function in gnome overview is no longer working. It was working before today’s update.

Can’t reproduce, check your extensions.

Thanks. Seems to be the “User theme” extension that is causing the problem. Fixed after I disabled this one.

I’ve found the source of the issue. Your current package does not include the version addition in the .json file, hence the extension is shown as out of date, even with the applied patch.

I’ve updated the PKGBUILD with upstream fixes to version 10.4 and can confirm the tray is working again.

gdm 42.0+r11+g4a52f026 showing black screen, reverting to 42.0-1 solves the issue.

There’s a very similar issue on EndeavourOS forums, the solution links to GDM+Wayland+nvidia wiki article. Basically, this should solve it:

# ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules
