The latest xfce pkg updates cause the taskbar to disappear (after reboot)
I just pushed libxfce4ui
4.18.0-1, does that help?
xfce 4.18 is looking good here. I have no issue with the taskbar upon reboot. I had to change the font size in the clock on the panel/taskbar.
Is there a way to move “Restore Selected Items and Empty Trash” in the Trash folder to the top like I had it in Thunar 4.17 (self compiled)?
Edit: I see. I was thinking of it as a feature, but they had their reason(s), I guess:
Mesa issue with Intel graphics is fixed with 22.3.1-1
No issues/hangs with mesa 22.3.1-1, but I notice that it adds a tiny bit of time during boot - a second or two in firmware. Mostly because I’m booting to a mechanical drive (could have been the first boot only as well). Anyway, that’s nothing Manjaro should worry about.

No it didn’t. the firmware time is your UEFI/BIOS time.
I have this problem with the latest Xfce4 (4.18):
xfce4-notes-plugin 1.9.0-1
If you downgrade xfce4-panel to 4.16.5-1 it looks ok.
Looks like mesa 22.3
broke the HW accerleration (VA-API) on my Intel cpu, vainfo
, still working though.
missing package intel-vulkan
solved it.
For Intel, the GPU accelerated video decoding is done by the Intel driver (i915 or iHD) and not mesa.
thanks for the info I mistook it and reported it very soon.
You mean vulkan-intel
, right?
Sure
As note: linux6.1 consumes too much size of swapfile and suspected in possible ignoring of the `vm.swappiness = 1` config parameter
I used kernel of linux6.1-rcX
since X
was about from 2
to last one 8
.
It was good.
Since about linux6.1
got released and remove the rcX
suffix, for several days I noticed I got a huge amount of pagefile data usage. I am sure it is abnormal and unusual for a couple of years for the same PC hardware configuration.

A very long time ago I did setup the vw.swappiness to be as
❯ sudo sysctl -a | grep 'swappiness'
vm.swappiness = 1
I have a feeling that the setting is currently ignoring since the linux6.1
release.
Again: with every rcX since 2-nd or 3rd till the last rc8-th there was no any sign of such big change in behavior.
Earlier I had
0 bytes (zero, nothing at all) of swap file usage until about 15-18 GB RAM in use.
100-200 MiB of swap file usage if it is about 20-23 GB RAM in use.
Now it is
10-12 GB of RAM usage leads to 1-2 GB of swap file usage.
It is completely abnormal at least for whole last year in any prev. kernel families: linux60, linux519, linux518, etc.
I do not use any other kernel version, so currently did not test them.
I am not seeing that here on xfce/ext4 running 6.1.0-1

Mem: 7.6Gi 1.6Gi 4.3Gi 61Mi 1.7Gi 5.8Gi

Ok, now it is 2.5 GB while physical RAM usage is < 8 GB:
❯ free -m

Mem: 31853 7413 1101 1008 23339 22972
Swap: 10239 2606 7633
Need to reboot soon to prevent fulfill of whole swapfile’s space (10 GB) and to prevent possible data loss.
EDIT:
and just 10 minutes later 6.1 GB Phys used (out of 32 GB) vs 3.1 GB swapped:
❯ free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 31853 6620 287 960 24945 23812

sort of memory leak? IDK.
I just typically watching Youtube videos, nothing else.
ok, I see that qbittorrent
is also running. Closed it.
after it’s process gone:

@Yochanan pardon me if the team is on holidays, but looks like unstable has not synced with arch stable in 9hrs now. there are few important bug fix rebuilds pending for dolphin and libraw dependents in KDE, thanks
I would call the ones for Plasma, Dolphin, etc… important nothing is crashing because of any current KDE bug.
I am getting back the “WARNING: consolefont: no font found in configuration”, but I thought it was patched? Does it need additional intervention, @Yochanan?
I have removed the consolefont hook without any ill effect on Manjaro xfce, EndeavourOS and Arch VM’s. That being said here is the fix:
To fix it, you need provide the console font name in /etc/vconsole.conf, here is mine:
KEYMAP=us
FONT=tcvn8x16
To find the correct console font’s names, you could view the list of them in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/.
Then run sudo mkinitcpio -P
