I don’t know if you’re using KDE, but in it it seems there’s a new option now to dimm the screen before it goes into sleep. If you have wide ranged values it can appear that the screen only goes dimm until the screen sleep timer kicks in.
Still presuming you’re on KDE, the setting can be found in System settings → Power management
OMFG!!! I would never have looked there. I checked it the first time it happened and there was DEFINATELY no checkbox so I would not go back and check again!
Must have been updated after, or I was blind.
Thank you!
Now I have to make sure the rest is working, because I THINK it went into sleep instead of turning the monitor off after dim time ended.
Regarding kpeoplevcard: this is only a matter of versioning schema convention, the newest package version is supposed to be 0.1-2 but the previously installed (Manjaro packaged) version is 0.1+r38.32d50a9-1 which semantically seems more recent.
This is the manual bypass that worked for me:
sudo pacman -S kpeoplevcard=0.1-2
Yay was trying to offer all sorts of modifications (upgrades/downgrades) to make it work but no option seemed to work, same goes for pamac, running this command fixed it.
the new Linux 67 kernel has been named as rc7 rather than rc1 which is current…
[New Packages]
linux67-6.7.0rc7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
linux67-headers-6.7.0rc7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
firefox developer edition is behaving strange after kernel rebuilding.
One could suspect that hardware acceleration is in play - I am not completely sure why it is hanging - actually completely freezing the system - a switch to console (TTY)
takes 5s to complete - running a pkill firefox brings system back from the ‘dead’
Normal firefox seems to be less unaffected … although hanging can be observed for a few seconds - system becomes unresponsive - no mouse movement etc. - the returns to normal after a few seconds.
No problems here but everything here is so different I doubt it will help…
I have been using 6.7 since the middle of the merge window, all Manjaro patches are commented out for my build
Firefox Dev 120.0b9 (64-bit) is the Mozilla build
I also installed 6.7.0-rc1 for a little rc-testing and found that firefox needed seconds to start (normally it starts without any noticeable delay). Also running vlc had some issues. Running journalctl I found lots of
kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Failed to send PXP TEE message
kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Failed to send tee msg for inv-stream-key-15, ret=[-62]
messages, which have not been there using 6.6.1. Being no linux kernel expert I then switched back to 6.6.1 and everything is o.k. again.
PS: I am running newest Manjaro KDE Unstable with X11.
