Hello guys …
this is my first post in this forum and I hope will not be the last …
I’ve moved from Ubuntu to Manjaro a few months ago and I’m very happy with the distribution …
I do a lot of things and one of them is playing some games like World of Warcraft (wow) and I use Lutris for that.
Today I got a nice update of the system and now I have wine 6.0 installed … I was happy but my happiness just faded when I try to run WoW and got the message
“Vulkan is not installed or is not supported”
I went to look in the guide and everything there I already did and have the last version of Vulkan in my system …
Is there a new version of Vulkan? How do I install it?
5.9 is EOL (End Of Life). The latest stable version is 5.10. It’s technically the latest LTS (Long Term Support) version as well, but won’t be marked as such until 5.11 is released. There’s also 5.4 LTS.
The latest version of nvidia-utils is 460.32.03-1. Did you manually install 455 or are you not fully up to date?
I notice today that another update and after running in the console, I notice a message saying that kernel modules were rebuild and they will be loaded after reboot … I did that and now WoW is running again …
Yesterday I did several reboots and still not be able to run WoW …
Because I was having this issue I was looking for anything in the pacman messages and I saw these in the middle of everything …
If a reboot is necessary, would be nice to have that message in the end of all the updates, again … otherwise the user could miss it …
Hope this helps the next person with the same issue

Kernels are marked end of life after the Linux project deems it so.
If you want to have pacman keep your kernels on the most up to date you can install the linux-latest package (instead of manually managing) which is currently on 5.10. I’d encourage you to keep an eye on the manjaro updates closely to avoid any headaches with kernel updates. If you want to be safer you can use the linux-lts which is currently on 5.4 (this will be 5.10 very soon once 5.10 gets LTS status)
Also, why wouldn’t you reboot after an update anyway?
I will install this package … I thought with Manjaro, being a rolling build we would be the lastest bits for the kernel all the time … looks like I was wrong …
Why not reboot after an update? Well, if it’s not necessary why reboot? But I will keep that in mind and reboot after every update.
