I have been using Manjaro KDE Plasma for 2 years almost.

I ran a pacman update and a yay update and now I have the following in /var/log/messages…

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Highlight it and use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    text
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    text
    </pre></code>

Please edit your post accordingly.
