[Unstable Update] 2023-05-06 - GNOME 44.1

[anon6314346]

I’m having kernel oops on reboot which forces me to hard power cycle.

Changing branches to testing and attemptingt to revert shows:

$sudo pacman -Syyuu

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Forcefully removing evolution-data-server with pacman -Rdd just causes problems.

Switching back to unstable allows me to reinstall the evolution-data-server, however

@Chrysostomus

To reduce ram usage, avoid using gnome-online-accounts and uninstall evolution-data-server. This will take gnome-calendar and geary with it, but it can about halve the idle ram usage of the desktop. Also make sure you are not using dynamic wallpaper, because it consumes about 300-400Mb ram for very little benefit.

Any way to correct this to revert to testing?

Forcefully removing evolution-data-server with pacman -Rdd just causes problems.

libedataserverui4 is only in the unstable branch, so remove that in the same manner instead.

Official community package xapp-thumbnailers-common 1.0.1-2 creates a root level directory \XappThumbnailers but I think this folder is supposed to go in /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages At least that’s where an AUR package with exactly the same name (xapp-thumbnailers-common 1.0.1-1) puts it.

libedataserverui4

I removed libedataserverui4, evolution-data-server, gnome-online-accounts, libgoa and reverting to testing is good

[Yochanan]

Fixed with xapp-thumbnailers-common 1.0.1-3.

@Yochanan the “Known issues and solutions” post in this topic does not appear to be a wiki post

[koshikas]

@Yochanan feels like there is a delay in unstable repos syncing with arch repos

Maybe you should talk to a therapist about your feelings of impatience.
