Manjaro refuses to turn off or reboot

When I choose to turn off or reboot the PC all I get is a black screen, with the PC still running, so I have to turn it off manually (either pressing the reset button or with a long press in the on button).

After this issue If I select Windows to boot it makes a disk check during the booting process (it never find issues)

Cambio de gráfica en Manjaro cinnamon y problema al arrancar

Buenas tardes!!

He decidido quitar la gráfica dedicada nvidia (por necesidad), para empezar a usar la gráfica del procesador.

Al reiniciar manjaro el equipo muestra grub, pero al tener que mostrar el escritorio se queda la pantalla en negro.

Supongo que es por que necesito el driver de intel, pero no sé como hacer para que se instale sin tener que formatear.

Muchas gracias por la ayuda

pamac freezing - can't find on top list

Hey all, I use pamac for updating, and occasionally I'll have the pamac gui freeze up for whatever reason.

I'm not able to close pamac gui normally, so I try to find it on top.

But I don't see any listing of pamac, nor does anything come up with a grep.

What would the process be hiding under so I can kill the process accurately without having to reboot?

(and yes, if the gui is frozen, the command line freezes as well, which is weird. )

Update to Firefox 132.0?

Hey, so today i transferred my profile from another pc running firefox at 132.0 to my manjaro install. But in manjaro the current firefox version is 131.0.3-1. So firefox tells me it can't import the profile, since it's too new. I have seen there's firefox 132 for Arch, but in Manjaro it seems 131 is the newest.

So my question is, what is the least disturbing way to get the profile working? I am also fine with waiting a few days for a manjaro update, if it can be expected soon, but is it maybe possible to manually update already?

Help with VM Port Forwarding

Hello. Recently, I commissioned a modchip install for my Nintendo Switch. I would like to stream my Windows 11 gaming VM to it via Sunshine/Moonlight.

My host OS is manjaro. I have a gpu passed through to the windows VM configured from libvirt qemu kvm.

Currently the VM accesses the internet through the default virtual NAT. I would prefer to more or less keep it this way.

I'm aware the common solution to create a bridge between the host and the guest, and have the guest show on the physical? real?? ..non virtualized network as just another device.

However, I wish to only forward the specific ports (47989, 47990, etc.) that sunshine/moonlight uses, so that my Switch can connect.

My struggle is with the how.

Unfortunately, I'm not getting much direction with the Arch Wiki or the Libvirt Wiki

I've come across suggestions to use tailscale or zerotier, but I'd prefer not to install/use any additional/unnecessary programs/services if I can help it.

This discussion on Stack Overflow seems be the closest to what I'm trying to achieve, I'm just not sure what to do with it.

Am I correct in assuming that after enabling forwarding in the sysctl.conf, I would add the above, with my relevant parameters, to the iptables.rules file? ...and that's it?

Admittedly, I am fairly new to linux, and pc builds in general, so I apologize if this is a dumb question. I'm just not finding many resources with this specific topic to see a solid pattern.

Problems with Fingerprint at fresh install on an Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3

I have an Fresh install of Manjaro, using the newest iso, but I'm getting this error Massege at setting up the Fingerprint, i already installed the depencies. I don#t find the "Process" which is claiming it. Does anyone know to fix that? Its an new Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 with an ElanTech Fingerprint Sensor, what I know is that it works fine one Arch Linux it's self (says the Arch Linux Forum) so its more an Process in the backround of Manjaro but I can't figure out what.

This is the error Massege.

Udemy Videos Not Playing on Firefox (Manjaro Linux)

Hey everyone,

I’m having an issue playing Udemy videos in Firefox on Manjaro Linux. The videos work just fine on Brave, but on Firefox, they just won’t load or play. I’ve scoured forums and tried every solution I could find, including this thread: Arch Linux Forum, but nothing seems to work for me.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Reinstalling Firefox with a fresh profile.
  • Enabling DRM content in Firefox.
  • Installing all relevant GStreamer plugins and updating drivers (I’ve already installed VA-API and Vulkan-Intel drivers).
  • Trying different video quality settings on Udemy.

I’m out of ideas at this point. Has anyone else encountered this issue on Manjaro with Firefox? Any help would be appreciated!

Is the application using Prime?

On a laptop with a NVIDIA RTX A3000, I installed the non-free drivers. Right now, I am now wondering if the apllication, which I started with the prime-run command, is actually using the nvidia driver.

Example: I start up Darktable with prime-run Darktable, but when I look at output from nvia-smi I don't see Darktable showing up.

Any help greatly appreciated

USB C Displayport Alt Mode Not Functioning

Detailed Issue Report: External Monitor Not Working on Manjaro Linux with Hybrid AMD/NVIDIA Graphics

1. Introduction

I have been working through this issue with the help of chatgpt's new 01advanced model and this is a summary of what has been happening and what I have done up to this point. I am experiencing an issue where an external monitor connected via a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter is not recognized or detected by my laptop running Manjaro Linux. The laptop (Razer Blade 14 2021) has a hybrid graphics setup with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900 and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU. Despite numerous troubleshooting steps, the external monitor remains non-functional. The adapter has been tested and works on windows on the same machine, and on other machines as well.


2. System Information

Hardware Configuration

  • Laptop Model: Razer Blade 14" (2021)
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900
  • Integrated GPU: AMD Radeon Graphics
  • Discrete GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 Mobile/Max-Q
  • Memory: 16 GB
  • Display:
    • Internal Monitor: 1920x1080 resolution
    • External Monitor: Connected via USB-C to DisplayPort adapter (not detected)

Software Configuration

  • Operating System: Manjaro Linux (64-bit)
  • Kernel Version: Initially using 6.10.13-3-MANJARO, later switched to 6.1 LTS kernel but switched back after no progress was made.
  • Desktop Environment: GNOME
  • Display Server: Initially Wayland, attempted to switch to Xorg but this did not fix my issue
  • NVIDIA Driver Version: 550.120 (as per dmesg output)
  • Installed Video Driver Configurations:
    • video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime (proprietary)
    • video-linux (free)

Relevant Outputs

  • lsmod | grep nvidia: Shows only nvidia_uvm and nvidia, missing nvidia_modeset and nvidia_drm I was able to use modprobe to forceload the modules but nothing changed.
  • dmesg Outputs:
    • NVIDIA modules are tainting the kernel
    • nvidia_drm module is not loaded
    • No significant errors pointing to the cause of the issue
  • Kernel Configuration:
    • CONFIG_TYPEC_DP_ALTMODE=m (indicates DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C is available as a module)

3. Detailed Troubleshooting Steps Taken

Step 1: Initial Investigation

  • Issue Identified: External monitor connected via USB-C to DisplayPort adapter is not working.
  • Observation: Monitor is not detected in display settings or xrandr output.

Step 2: Switch from Wayland to Xorg

  • Action: Modified /etc/gdm/custom.conf to disable Wayland.
    • Uncommented WaylandEnable=false
  • Result: System boots into Xorg, but external monitor issue persists.

Step 3: Verify NVIDIA Drivers Installation

  • Action: Checked installed NVIDIA packages using pacman -Qs nvidia.
  • Observation: Confirmed nvidia-utils and related packages are installed.

Step 4: Configure PRIME Offloading

  • Action: Created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-nvidia.conf with configurations for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.
  • Issue: Original configuration incorrectly referenced Intel GPU instead of AMD.
  • Correction: Updated configuration to reference amdgpu instead of intel.

Updated Configuration:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
    Inactive "amdgpu"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Driver "nvidia"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "true"
    Option "Coolbits" "28"
    Option "SLI" "Off"
    Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "nvidia"
    Device "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "true"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "amdgpu"
    Driver "amdgpu"
    BusID "PCI:4:0:0"
    Option "AccelMethod" "none"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "amdgpu"
    Device "amdgpu"
EndSection
  • Result: External monitor still not detected.

Step 5: Enable NVIDIA DRM Modeset

  • Action: Added options nvidia_drm modeset=1 to /usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf.
  • Updated GRUB Configuration:
    • Added nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.
  • Ran:
    sudo mkinitcpio -P
    sudo update-grub
    sudo reboot
  • Result: nvidia_drm module still not loaded.

Step 6: Verify NVIDIA Modules

  • Action: Ran lsmod | grep nvidia.
  • Result: Only nvidia_uvm and nvidia modules are loaded; nvidia_modeset and nvidia_drm are missing.

Step 7: Check for Errors in Kernel Messages

  • Action: Ran dmesg | grep -i nvidia.
  • Observation: No significant errors indicating why nvidia_drm is not loaded.

Step 8: Switch to an LTS Kernel

  • Action: Installed the 6.1 LTS kernel using mhwd-kernel -i linux61.
  • Installed corresponding headers:
    sudo pacman -S linux61-headers
  • Updated GRUB to display the menu at boot:
    • Edited /etc/default/grub to set GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu and GRUB_TIMEOUT=5.
    • Ran sudo update-grub.
  • Rebooted and selected the 6.1 kernel from GRUB menu.
  • Result: Issue persists; nvidia_drm module still not loaded.

Step 9: Reinstall NVIDIA Drivers

  • Action: Removed existing drivers:
    sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime
  • Reinstalled drivers:
    sudo mhwd -i pci video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime
  • Cleaned up residual configuration files:
    sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf
    sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-nvidia.conf
    sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf
  • Result: nvidia_drm module still not loaded.

Step 10: Ensure Secure Boot is Disabled

  • Action: Checked Secure Boot status:
    sudo mokutil --sb-state
  • Observation: Secure Boot is disabled.
  • Result: Issue persists.

Step 11: Load typec_displayport Module

  • Action: Verified CONFIG_TYPEC_DP_ALTMODE=m in kernel configuration.
  • Attempted to load module:
    sudo modprobe typec_displayport
  • Checked if module is loaded:
    lsmod | grep typec_displayport
  • Result: Module loaded successfully, but external monitor still not detected.

Step 12: Examine USB-C Port Functionality

  • Action: Ran lsusb to list USB devices.
  • Checked kernel messages:
    sudo dmesg | grep -i 'usb\|typec\|thunderbolt'
  • Observation: No errors indicating issues with USB-C port.

Step 13: Verify Module Dependencies

  • Action: Ensured related modules are loaded:
    lsmod | grep typec
  • Modules Loaded:
    • typec_displayport
    • typec
    • typec_ucsi
    • ucsi_acpi
  • Result: Modules are loaded, but external monitor remains undetected.

Step 14: Check System Logs for Errors

  • Action: Examined system logs:
    sudo journalctl -b | grep -i 'typec\|displayport\|drm\|nvidia\|amdgpu\|error\|fail'
  • Observation: No significant errors related to the issue.

Step 15: Test with a Live USB Environment

  • Action: Booted into a Live USB of Ubuntu.
  • Result: External monitor still not detected, suggesting a potential hardware issue.

4. Summary of Findings

  • nvidia_drm and nvidia_modeset Modules Not Loaded:
    • Essential for modesetting and external display functionality.
    • Attempts to load modules manually were unsuccessful.
  • Kernel Version Compatibility:
    • Switching to the 6.1 LTS kernel did not resolve the issue.
  • NVIDIA Driver Installation:
    • Reinstalled video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-prime drivers multiple times.
    • Ensured kernel headers are installed.
  • USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode Support:
    • CONFIG_TYPEC_DP_ALTMODE is set to m, and module is loaded.
    • External monitor still not detected after loading the typec_displayport module.
  • Hardware Considerations:
    • Tested in a Live USB environment; issue persists.
    • Suggests potential hardware limitation or incompatibility.
  • Secure Boot:
    • Confirmed to be disabled, ruling out interference.
  • System Logs and Errors:

OBS studio doesn't launch when I try it.

Hello, I need help on this situation. For some reason obs studio is not launching. For starters, I got obs studio from add/remove software and for a while it was running fine but for some reason it stopped launching. I think it may be a the recent update but I'm not sure. Is there any solutions for this?

Newer laptop looking for a distro for high performance battery life and newer firmware/drivers

I am a somewhat experienced Linux user but almost exclusively using Debian.

I recently came into possession of a Dell Precision 3581 with a Nvidia Ada2000 laptop and I want to maximize my:

 battery life (newer firmware updates?, Latest Kernel?, Debian pulled the dell bios updates,.,,) 

&

performance (Containers, libvirt VM's, Python scripting, LLM's)

Manjaro seems to tick these boxes. And I really like the idea if a rolling release. Sorry if my assumptions are off. Please correct me. I am 100% self taught.

I have installed the latest version with Nvidia non-free drivers and was wondering if there are specific tips or configs that reach these goals.

Keyboard backlights not working.

Just bought a Trust GXT 836 EVOCX and the backlights don't work and I have no idea why. Everything else, even the extra keys on top and the menu button fn lock work without a problem.

Midnight Commander rendering issues

https://preview.redd.it/cq6qwkbmsvwd1.png?width=2606&format=png&auto=webp&s=3eca7826fa9c8fe6f1efcad8ce4d40b8d72682be

When I open the internal editor, I see the issues as on the picture above. I've checked - it is reproducible in the KDE, in the TTY, on all my three laptops, Intel 11, 12 and 13 generation. I was trying different fonts, color schemes, new user, etc. My friend reported he does not have any issues while using the same Manjaro as me.

The only thing I found, that some files break the rendering, and some do not.

I have some question - is there a solution for this issue, or is it a know bug, or is there a guide on how to report this bug. I have no Idea how to report and where to report and what exactly to report. I'll appreciate any help, as I'm even not sure if I've chosen the appropriate resource.

Is it normal that this thing has horrible load balancing?

Probably not the right word for it, but it's the best I could think of.

So I've recently switched from Windows 11 to Manjaro Cinnamon and for the most part I'm pretty happy with it, even as a gamer.

But there is one thing I've noticed that just seems... really weird and bad. When my computer has one really intense task, it seems to almost completely abandon all efforts to keep doing everything else.

I'll be in Discord voice chat, chilling, and then start a game like Helldivers 2. And then for the 5-10 seconds it takes to check shader cache and do the initial startup of the game, I can't hear shit in Discord because everybody sounds like robots. It's fine after and during, but it just seems to dedicate near 100% of all available resources into getting that game started and leave nothing left for Discord.

Similarly, sometimes I clip things and then quickly crop and post them mid game. I'd throw my fresh video file into Handbrake, give it some timestamps, and then let it crop in the background while I keep gaming, then check back on it in a minute or so to upload it to Disord. In Windows 11, I'd lose maybe 20% of my FPS in game while Handbrake just took longer to process it. In Manjaro, I lose more like 90% of my FPS, while Handbrake is pretty fast.

It's like Windows 11 was concerned with giving every program what it needed to run properly, while Manjaro would rather drop everything to get a short task done ASAP to get back to normal.

I'd like to keep voice chatting while starting games, and I'd like to keep playing games (at a lower but still acceptable framerate) while Handbrake trims some short clips.

I'm on an i5-12600K, an RX 6700 XT, 32GB DDR4 RAM, and a mix of drives, HDD, SATA SSD and m.2 SSD alike.

Low FPS across most games

Hey guys,

I'm properly stumped, no clue what I'm doing wrong. My FPS across most if not all modern(ish) games is extremely underwhelming. I have a pretty beefy PC and I really expect more FPS out of it.

I've attached some in-game benchmarks, all on medium settings with V-sync, adaptive resolution and FPS locks turned off.

Edit: For some reason the attachments didn't upload. Suffice to say that I don't really go above 30 FPS on medium settings using a 3440x1440 monitor on games like Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Zero Dawn, Greedfall, Space Marine 2, AC Mirage etc.

Am I just overestimating the FPS my hardware can pump out or is something else wrong?

My specs below:

Gnome users, is manjaro-gnome-vanilla 0.5.3 still usable?

I just checked pamac and saw manjaro-vanialla-gnome version 0.5.2. Then, I clicked the web link and saw that it didn't get any updates for a while.

I have a very good install going and don't want to mess it up so I wonder if anyone is still using this package and if yes, is it working as expected?

Thanks a 1000000000! :)

Konsole freezes when updating

The konsole freezes whenever I use commands like sudo pacman -Syyu or install large packages, it's not always in the same moment, but it happens every time, and it has made that once the Linux kernel got corrupted.

I've had this problem for a couple of days and couldn't find a way to fix it.

Manjaro OS wont boot, need help

Hello, so i have been trying to figure out this thing for a couple of days already.

So prerequisites:

  • Motherboard: Asus Prime B650-ma
  • Cpu: ryzen 7600x
  • Ram 2x: 16gb kingston, works at 4800
  • Ssd: Mengmi 120gb
  • Hdd(*): hitachi 500 gb (used this to cross out ssd issue)

So whats happening and why am i here.

On any of 2 disks fresh manjaro and/or windows install just dont work. By "not working" i mean it behaves like device is inexistent or no bootable sector is found. - it just goes straight to uefi menu.

What have been tried so far:

  1. Swap sata cables, swap sata ports
  2. Numerous changes in ISO to install from
  3. Tried using 2 different flash drives
  4. Reset CMOS multiple times
  5. UEFI update to v.3040
  6. PSU change

Things that bothers me are:

  1. I can boot from same ssd/hdd on the other pc. Installation on the other pc goes well.
  2. I can boot from usb drives (manjaro installer is basically live version), same goes for windows installer.
  3. Messing with secure boot uefi options some i had my disks boot options dissappear from boot menu.

Googling took me to Secure Boot issues and tpm modules disable. Tried different options but never was able to load windows /linux. They go straight to bios.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Skype: Can't enter my password

Hello,

A few weeks ago I unfortunately had to replace my mainboard. Unfortunately, this also made it necessary to reinstall Windows, Linux Mint and Manjaro. Now, everything is fine with Windows and Mint, but Skype just won't work under Manjaro 24.1.1. Currently skypeforlinux-bin-8.130.0.205-1 is installed. Incidentally, the same version runs perfectly under Mint. After starting under Manjaro, the window for entering the user name appears. Once this is done, I am redirected to the Microsoft website for a fraction of a second and can only just see that the field for entering the password appears there, which closes again immediately. Then I land back in the Skype window and am asked to enter my Skype user name. Does anyone know why Skype behaves like this?

By the way, I also tried the KDE version instead of Manjaro XFCE, which has the same problem.
