Pacman error discussion - Zstd decompression failed

I had some pacman problems, similar to another post while updating to 1/19 stable update. I install on a VM before installing on a physical machine, hoping to catch bugs, review customizations. If there are problems, restore the VM. I checked the mirrors with pacman-mirrors4. All was okay. Step 1 I ran the command below. pacman -Syyu I got the error below error: could not extract /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libEngine12.so (Zstd decompression failed: Corrupted block detected) error: pro…

I think this is due to the Intel 13th/14th
I have the 14900KS
Linux already has the new microcode 0x12c

 manjaro kernel: microcode: Current revision: 0x0000012c
 manjaro kernel: microcode: Updated early from: 0x0000012b

I have improved the BIOS again and have now reached MC 91

Teamspeak 3 can not start anymore since today’s update with libxml 2.14.2-2

 omano  ~ $  teamspeak3 
./ts3client_linux_amd64: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The library exists.
Reinstalling TS3 or libxml2 doesn’t help.
Downgrading libxml2 (and other packages requiring it) doesn’t help.

[Yochanan]

teamspeak3 3.6.2-3 was rebuilt for libxml2. Are you up to date?

[omano]

Of course I am
Just install it, start it, does it work for you?

[Yochanan]

@omano

does it work for you?

Nope. Turns out it’s a known issue: Teamspeak3 in testing incompatible with libxml2 (#2) · Issues · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / teamspeak3 · GitLab

@weingeist

Missing kernel headers

You’re missing linux614-headers.

Either way, I’ve just pushed linux614-nvidia and linux614-nvidia-open 570.144-7.

[weingeist]

570.144-7 ??

[Yochanan]

Yes. Wait until your mirror sycs.

[weingeist]

ok i wait

holy it works

ok then i’ll try nvidia-open again

PS: ok all works

What is better nvidia-open or nvidia-dkms-open ?

[stephane]

result after mkinitcpio -P
only nvidia drivers are ok with linux 6.6lts , it fails for 6.12 and 6.14
i have update for linux612 , linux614 and headers and nvidia-utils

reboot done: no driver nvidia for linux614 and 6.12
only nvidia drivers with linux66 or older

so the switch to nvidia-open can do for theses kernels.

what about others kernels ?
what about hybrid video cards ?

i have checked nvidia-driver-assistant and mhwd -l - d --pci ,
this only offers closed source , no nvidia-open drivers ( Maxwell series )

so do i have to use nvidia-dkms , or waiting new branch nvidia-5.xx , and changes in mhwd ?

because on next update nvidia drivers for all kernels by manjaro, no modules nvidia will be created.

[philm]

due to the toolchain update no nvidia drivers get compiled as modules right now. We have to patch it to support GCC15.
