## Additional Info

Python 3.13 info

You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install files to site-packages or link to `libpython3.12.so`.

Print a list of of packages that have files in `/usr/lib/python3.12/` :

```
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12/
```

Rebuild them all at once:*

```
pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12)
```

Use `rebuild-detector` to see if anything else needs to be rebuilt:

```
checkrebuild
```

* <small>It’s recommended to clean your build cache first with `pamac clean --build-files`</small>

Meine Energieverwaltung hat sich geändert:
Vorher lief der Monitor ganztags durch: Seit dem Update wechselt der Monitor zwangsweise nach ein paar Minuten in den Energiesparmodus.
Der Einstellregler steht auf "Nie".

2. Problem: Wenn ich den Monitor vom Rechner aus dem DP trenne um den Beamer anzuschließen klappt das genau ein Mal.
Nach dem zurück stecken bleibt der Monitor schwarz und ist nicht reanimierbar. Lief vorher problemlos. Jetzt hilft nur noch der Kaltstart.

Habe leider auch ein Problem seit dem Update, wobei ich nicht genau weiß ob es damit zusammenhängt, dass sich der Paketmanager beim Update der vielen Pakete aufgehängt hat und es danach nicht möglich war das System normal neu zu starten oder herunterzufahren - es reagierte einfach auf nichts mehr.
Jedenfalls musste ich den Rechner ausdrücken und seitdem kommt bei jedem Bootversuch, nachdem das Passwort für die Verschlüsselung eingegeben wurde, immer die Meldung folgende Meldung:

Code: Alles auswählen

Fehler: Datei >> /@/boot/vmlinuz-6.12-x86_64<< nicht gefunden

Code: Alles auswählen

Fehler: Sie müssen zuerst den Kernel laden

Zum Glück lässt sich das System dann mit einem Backup aus Time Shift booten, nur kommt die Meldung beim nächsten Bootvorgang dann wieder.

Wie lässt sich das beheben?

Wie lässt sich das beheben?

Dein Kernel oder Bootloader wurde durch den erzwungenen Neustart während des Updates beschädigt. Das war keine gute Idee, aber das weißt du ja schon aus dem anderen Forum.

Da du dein System mit Timeshift wieder zum Laufen bekommst, kannst du versuchen, den Kernel neu zu installieren:

Code: Alles auswählen

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux612  
sudo update-grub

Falls das Problem weiterhin besteht, kannst du den Kernel und den Bootloader per chroot reparieren, wie ebenfalls im anderen Forum beschrieben wurde. Zudem ist es generell besser, für Updates immer die Konsole zu nutzen, um Probleme wie dieses zu vermeiden.

PS: Du hast dein System vollverschlüsselt? Was versprichst du dir davon?
