• Manjaro, like many other open-source projects, relies on the generosity of its community through donations and corporate sponsorships to support its growth and development. These donations are essential in covering the various expenses incurred in the operations of the project such as server costs, software development tools, infrastructure expenses, training, flying people to events or conferences and the salaries of key developers. With the help of these donations, Manjaro is able to secure the necessary financial stability that allows the project to continuously improve and remain active. If you love Manjaro, consider to donate!

Only a minor issue with the kitty terminal:

the font seems a lot thicker / bolder than before … didn’f find a solution for now …

akonadi failed to upgrade its database on the first system reboot and crashed.
It succeeded on the second.

Replace qemu-virtiofsd with extra/virtiofsd?

Some advice for this ?

PS: I have chosen to replace and seems everything is ok…

after the upgrade, i am experiencing (kernel?) crashes (both on 6.2 and 6.3), without any specific error in journalctl, it just resets the whole system (like having pressed the reset power button), reverting to before (thanks to snapper) fixes the issue for now

the last journalctl of the run where it resets look like:

without a notice of a reboot / reset or kernel panic

pacman.log from the upgrade (for package changes reference)

also i dont know if it matters, but after such a reset happens, it prints the following on the next boot (both on screen for a short time and in the journal log) but does not print this when rebooting normally (like via poweroff --reboot or via shutdown and pressing power button):

May 07 13:45:30 Meicoo-Manjaro kernel: mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 2: Machine Check: 0 Bank 5: bea0000001000108

maybe something related to the amd-ucode package update?

kde system info (when running before the upgrade):

Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.2.12-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor
Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX Vega
Manufacturer: ASUS

PS: in total the resets happened 2 times since the upgrade (within ~2 hours after the upgrade)

A post was split to a new topic: Graphical glitches on the right side of the screen

A post was split to a new topic: No package metadata was found for informant

ERROR: Hook ‘zfs’ cannot be found
on all kernels
Also no linux63-zfs package

In version 0.28 there’s new config option introduced which configures the thing you mentioned

Upstream does not yet support 6.3.

check with kernel 5.15 LTS if you get same errors
also check cables for error on sata1.

can you report

inxi -fza

removed 6.3 and still getting this messages with 6.1 and 6.2
reinstalled linux61-zfs and linux62-zfs – no effect.
tested zfs-dkms – it generates modules, but ‘mkinicpio -P’ still generate the error.
I fear to reboot

check with kernel 5.15 LTS if you get same errors

like i said earlier, it happens regardless of kernel (tested new 6.3 new 6.2 and before-upgrade)

also check cables for error on sata1.

it works without problems before the update (like i am running now), also ata1 (like mentioned in the journalctl) is my disk drive (bluray to be specific), with nothing in it

inxi -fza

(without amd-ucode update)

see for adding on boot kernel
“iommu=pt amd_pstate=passive processor.max_cstate=5”

you can block amd-ucode update and do a try , if errors still occurs ( that will indicate that there is error from microcode )

thanks for notifying that there is a bios update, though still it shouldnt break after a linux system update

I’m running into one new issue caused with this update, KDE Plasma (Wayland) with Dolphin: Whenever I move a file to another directory by shift-dragging, the view doesn’t refresh to show the old file having been moved, I have to press F5 to do a manual refresh after which the moved file is no longer displayed in its old location. Anyone else getting this one?

see for adding on boot kernel

did you mean before or after the amd-ucode update?

you can block amd-ucode update and do a try , if errors still occurs ( that will indicate that there is error from microcode )

i am currently running the update, without amd-ucode updated and linux63 installed, and it seems to work fine (also not yet bios updated like suggested in another comment)

blocked before the update after this is a downgrade
