Since I’ve updated my laptop from kernel 5.8 to 5.9,1. This issue persists from kernel 5.9.1 to 5.9.6.

Seems to be a regression with 5.9: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259975

linux-lts will work until it is fixed in 5.9.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for your answer. I did this, I change to lts 5.4 it works at the beginning but then the system hang in boot with a black screen. It’s some weird because it happens when I reboot the system twice

For some of us for whatever reason adding secondary kernels just does not work. zen1 will not boot. Then to top that off it’s at the top of the list of kernels to boot when it was not set as default, so I end up mousing down to arch1 on the Grub menu. I have not tried the LTS yet.

Thanks. I’d been using Debian testing a lot of years but when I bought my new laptops I couldn’t install it on one with nvidiq-hybrid. I had to change to kde neon although I don’t like Ubuntu. I’d like to try with archlinux and found Endeavouros what I have like very much

Welcome to the community :beers:

8

may nvidia driver installed? as this will need the lts version of nvidia-lts also and the kernel headers (linux-lts-headers)

9

Probably not:

10

Sorry. I have two laptops because my daughters. One is an Hp with an Intel 7 8th generation an Nvidia, in this I found that better system to use Nividia hybrid is Kde Neon. Another one is an AMD Ryzen with AMD Radeon Graphics, this is the one in which I’ve installed Endeavouros with Plasma Kde. In this one all works well and smoothly except the Bluetooth which stop with kernel 5.9 upgrade

issue verified on telegram :wink:

i see:
there is already a driver at AUR also: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88x2ce-dkms/

12

ha ha now i can see, i do edit formatting on first post to use code tags…

Has anyone bisected yet? If it for sure works on latest 5.8 point release I could bisect if I had a tester as I don’t have the devices in question

@solino
Have you tried the rtw88-dkms-git? This has support for rtl8822ce and latest realtek.

Edit: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtw88-dkms-git

16

Think the post before mine says its not working atm

17

It’s a different package. This has the latest realtek files.

18

rtw88-dkms-git doesn’t fix bluetooth detection.
The issue is one patch away from being fixed, yet that patch has not been merged into the 5.9 source tree. More info in this Arch Linux forum post.

I think this is set up to be fixed in linux-zen soon, damentz has included it in linux-lqx already.

Today I’ve updated my kernel to 5.9.9-arch1-1 and the issue persist.
