Sync Updates for Week 27, 2024

ReillyBrogan

If you boot into a rescue USB and mount your boot partition then there should be a configuration file with two initrd sections. Delete the one with Nvidia in the filename and then reboot.

I'll do that.

I'm in my system. Thanks 🙂

Okay. I installed the driver 550 instead, but now the same thing is happening with that driver. So it most be the same dependency package(s) there may be fault. I'm going to try driver 470.

EDIT: Same things happen with the 470 driver. So now I'm stuck with NV driver at the moment.

Cherry-picked usysconf fix addressing issues faced by nvidia users. (Thanks Reilly)

Updated my two posts above, Reilly Brogan assisted and resolved both my issues.

Thank you.

Firefox has crashed 4 times since the update solus budgie i7-4790 × 8 16gigs of ram, x11 and desktop becomes unresponsive ( usb mouse and keyboard freeze up )

For a long time now I've wondered why Firefox users put up with the frequent crashes. Vivaldi is positively boring in comparison. I can't remember the last time there was a serious problem with it.

knuckle These are just a few examples to find the reason for the FF error.

Does it crash with acceleration enabled and disabled?
Check if it crashes without extensions. In terminal: firefox --safe-mode.

Check the logs after freezing and rebooting. E.g.:

journalctl -p err -b -1
journalctl -b -1 | grep firefox
journalctl -b -1 | grep error

Start FF with debugging (install gdb). Type
firefox -g -> r -> press Ctrl+c -> bt and see if it displays any errors.
See if FF does crash on linux-lts.
I suggest opening a new thread because maybe more people have or had this error or have more experience to fix it.

Who could have guessed that a simple comment like mine would evoke such intelligent and thoughtful responses.

Congrations! Based on the problems that are being reported after nearly every update, it seems there are lots of others who would like to be able to say the same thing.

I have nothing in particular against Firefox. It might surprise you that I contribute monthly to Mozilla.

We just downgraded the Nvidia drivers to fix user-reported issues causing no display output. Apologies to anyone who was excited about explicit sync but having users be able to use their system is more important.

Rolled back, downgraded by you. ReillyBrogan

This is odd.

The first time I sent the system information I was on Wayland. That was what was shown in the Info Center. The Nvidia Server Settings did not load all modules.

The second time I sent the system information (after you asked if I was sure I was using a Nvidia GPU) I was on X11. I am on X11 now. This is what it shows in the Info Center now. The Nvidia Server Settings is loading all modules now.

When I say modules I mean sections in the left Navigation Panel.

Not that it matters but (for information) many Linux distros do not load all modules for my Nvidia GPU in the Server Settings. I'm using Solus partly because of how awesome and incredibly well thought it is and partly because it loads all modules.

edit: I'm going to stay on X11 now and see if stutters still happen. I'll report back at the end of the day. Thank you for your concern! : )

I have synced Week 27 on Sunday.
I have not sync'ed the latest hotfix for Nvidia drivers.

I wish to sync now, but I prefer not to revert back to the rolled-back Nvidia drivers.
Is there a way to temporarily blacklist a specific Nvidia package and sync the rest of the cherry-picks?

Thank you.

cherry-picked discord 0.0.59

@ermo Nvidia driver rolled back. I don't seem to be having mouse problems anymore.

edit: I was wrong, I'm still having mouse problems.

edit 2: Oh, great, now my video player is stuttering as well. : (

edit 3: Games are stuttering as well. : )

edit 4: My system information is:

^Are you sure your system is using the Nvidia GPU?

BruceElephant @ermo Nvidia driver rolled back. I don't seem to be having mouse problems anymore.

Do you mean you manually rolled it back? Because it was rolled back in general anyway (to the 550.x version). So you can just fully update to get it.

Are you perhaps using sddm-wayland-experimental. One Nvidia user in the Support channel had issues with that that were resolved by removing it again.

BruceElephant

Staudey Are you perhaps using sddm-wayland-experimental.

Uuum, I don't know, I don't think so. I switched to Plasma Wayland (by choosing Wayland at the login screen) some weeks ago. I did not have problems BEFORE this update though, all was running smooth.

How do I check the sddm version?

For the record: Since yesterday (when I switched to X11) I did not have stuttering problems anymore.

I think I will wait a few weeks and then switch back to Wayland.
