Hi. I’m using manjaro i3.
After I updated, I get an error message on start up, something about picom and glx-no-stencil, and to check picom in the CLI for more info. When I do so, I get the following error message:
❯ picom
[ 05/13/2026 11:36:15.681 c2_parse_target WARN ] Type specifier is deprecated. Type "a" specified on target "_NET_WM_STATE" will be ignored, you can remove it.
[ 05/13/2026 11:36:15.681 c2_parse_target WARN ] Format specifier is deprecated. Format "32" specified on target "_NET_WM_STATE" will be ignored, you can remove it.
[ 05/13/2026 11:36:15.681 c2_parse_target WARN ] Type specifier is deprecated. Type "c" specified on target "_GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS" will be ignored, you can remove it.
[ 05/13/2026 11:36:15.681 report_deprecated_option WARN ] Option "glx-no-stencil" is deprecated, please remove it from your config file and/or command line options.
[ 05/13/2026 11:36:15.682 session_init FATAL ERROR ] Another composite manager is already running
[ 05/13/2026 11:36:15.682 main FATAL ERROR ] Failed to create new session.
So then I check with pgrep -l and also inxi -Gxx | grep compositor, and the output is that Picom v is the compositor.
Anyone know how I would get rid of the error messages?
Here’s my inxi:
