System freeze on suspend

A feature in systemd 256 freezing a user session when suspending may freeze the system.

The issue is most prominent with Nvidia systems but reports exist that it may affect other systems as well.

A workaround for this is to create a override config

/etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.d/disable_freeze_user_session.conf

containing

[Service]
Environment="SYSTEMD_SLEEP_FREEZE_USER_SESSIONS=false"

pulseaudio-ctl requires pulseaudio and is not compatible with pipewire

If one is using PipeWire, one will need to remove pulseaudio-ctl if prompted during the update as it’s only compatible with pulseaudio

:warning: Linux 6.9 is EOL

Linux 6.9 is EOL and will – at some point – be removed from the repo.

Suggestion is to install latest LTS to be sure

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux66

The sshd service needs to be restarted after upgrading to openssh-9.8p1

2024-07-01 – Robin Candau

After upgrading to openssh-9.8p1, the existing SSH daemon will be unable to accept new connections (see Can’t login after openssh 9.8p1-1 upgrade, MUST restart sshd (#5) · Issues · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / openssh · GitLab).
When upgrading remote hosts, please make sure to restart the sshd service using systemctl try-restart sshd right after upgrading.

We are evaluating the possibility to automatically apply a restart of the sshd service on upgrade in a future release of the openssh-9.8p1 package.

Oh no, I went ahead and updated this morning (should have checked here first!). Am I going to have issues later when I try to update again?

Thanks.

IMHO; If your system is working fine for now, awesome. Expect package updates later. If no package updates later, then you did a full update and we’re just waiting for Phil to update the OP.

FROM NOW ON, while on a non-Stable Branch, check here first before you accidentally leave yourself with a non-booting system.

I wish I had read this first. I had to do a Timeshift roll back from the command line. Damn.

Welcome to the world of Testing where packages as well as your ability to recover are tested :smiley:

I have, on a more than one occasion, taken a gamble. Luckily, this wasn’t one of those occasions. It’s no biggie for me, though, I’m swimming in backups.

I accidentally upgraded. lol
This is a BTRFS installation for testing purposes. testing branch.

It rebooted successfully. I’m taking separate backups and snapshots (btrfs), so I don’t really care.

It contains grub-2.12-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.
I boot grub from the main one (ext4 stable branch), so it doesn’t affect me in this case.

Troublefree update, /boot/grub/grub.cfg was renewed, the original is stored as /boot/grub/grub.cfg.pacsave. !! Don’t touch it !!

So is it finally safe to update?

I’d say it’s “finally time to test the update” :+1:t3:

what are these comments even referencing about it not being safe to update?

The initial first post of the thread, telling NOT to update for now (with no real explanation why).

Fortunately it was safe for me on Plasma already last night (20 hours ago)… adding my confession to the list, usually I read first or just leave it until I’m ready – but I was feeling kinda rushed last night and just started the update before my shower, and read the ‘No Nike’ thread after…

I tried a few minutes ago but got a failed to commit because of a URL issue. That said, I am also having router problems and a new router is supposed to arrive on Monday…so that may be it.

Maybe post the error you get. Maybe refresh mirrors and retry.

So far so good, tested sleep 1x so far with no freeze (intel hd graphics), will report if anything changes.
