Hello,

After my last update I could not use wifi on my laptop, I believe it's a problem with linux-next from 16th of December. The connection keeps connecting and disconnecting in a loop.

Also the Chrome unstable package crashes since the last update, and this seems related with the graphics driver as a message appears on dmesg:

73.895457] chrome[915]: segfault at 1f8 ip 00007f7c57f55c2f sp 00007fff8cd924b0 error 4 in i965_dri.so[7f7c57bf0000+531000]

I can't access Chrome settings as well, I've deleted all the settings but still the problem occurs. I have to use Firefox instead.

Am I the only one with such issues?

Thanks! Merry Christmas all!

A fix for the Chrome Unstable problem is to run:

LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 google-chrome-unstable

To get help, you'll have to provide info. What repo's do you use? Post your /etc/pacman.conf

Are you fully updated, with a synced mirror? Show the /var/log/pacman.log starting at about December 14 until current time.

After todays updates, are the issues still present?

Hello Deem, yes after the update all is working fine (chrome and wifi). Thank you so much!

As a note, if I try to use AccellMethod uxa, the graphic environment does not start.

11 days later

The file 20-intel.conf is missing double quotes, that's why it did not start. On intel graphic hardware, I had to force uxa, as I had a lot of artifacts.

Now running fine with:

Section "Device"

Identifier "Intel Graphics"

Driver "intel"

Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"

EndSection
