zmaint I just created a bug report, it's my first one, I hope I did it right.

https://dev.getsol.us/T10000

I mentioned your computer, and your friend's computer.

Let's hope it gets solved as soon as possible.

      @JoshStrobl Just updated with the new kernel released today, same issue. Takes forever to boot, asks for kde5 wallet pass, apps are unresponsive to the point of being unusable.

      Confirm booting with the 5.14.14-202.current kernel works fine.

        zmaint Thank you for letting us know! I didn't update my laptop yet, and after reading your post I don't know if I should. How did you manage to boot with kernel 5.14.14? Because once you update, you only have the last two kernels, 5.14.16 and 5.14.15.

            joluveba Well I had rolled back all of the updates from last week, so I'd been booting from that kernel. So when I updated today, I had all three kernels to choose from.

              zmaint Confirm booting with the 5.14.14-202.current kernel works fine.

              it's good you found that fallback.

                zmaint I just read this. if this was an AMD thing I wonder where the kwallet prompts come from? Maybe it's the way everything works together--seems the easiest answer at least.

                    brent I thought that was odd, which is why I made it a point to mention it here and in the bug report. It's definitely over my head stuff 🙂 They seemed to know right what it was, for me that works.

                    On a side note, can anyone even imagine trying to have a conversation with Microsoft about a bug... lol. Just another reason I'd never even consider going back.

                      yup, fixed it for me as well. thanks guys.

                      Girtablulu Too late! I did it and it worked 😃

                      If I had known you were working on it today, I would have waited. Thank you everybody for your help.

                        @Girtablulu Is this in the repo yet? I need to update the wife's laptop too🙂 On mine (they're identical), I didn't switch to unstable, I just installed all the updates, waited for it to finally boot, got to a terminal and then installed the kernel via Josh's link.

                          zmaint It's in Unstable and it's more or less stable again, but really be carefull when switching over to unstable repo 🙂

                              5 days later

                              Girtablulu Just updated the wife's laptop today from stable as normal. I hadn't updated in order to avoid the kernel issue and I hadn't patched it. No issues, runs great. Thank you for all the help!
