Gnome Unstable not being found by pacman

[basil]

I decided to try using Gnome 40, so I followed the steps outlined here, and added:

[gnome-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Right below multilib, in the etc/pacman.conf file.

However, when updating my packages, I get errors which look like so:

error: failed retrieving file 'gnome-unstable.db'

For multiple different mirrors, ultimately showing that gnome-unstable isn’t being found by pacman for whatever reason.

Does anyone know what I can do, to fix this, and in turn be able to use Gnome 40?

Easiest way is to switch to unstable branch as per Manjaro Wiki.

so I followed the steps outlined here , and added:

Did you roll back your changes?. It looks like you were following instructions from the Arch Wiki

I want Gnome 40! Why doesn't Manjaro ship Gnome 40 Shell yet?

Hi Gnome Fellows, Manjaro currently ships a mixture of Gnome 3.38 Shell and Gnome 40 Apps, as long as it works together for a while now in Stable and Testing branches. Gnome 40 Shell and other newer packages you may find in our Unstable branch. The following packages we hold back (plus needed extensions): gnome-control-center gnome-control-center-x11-scaling gnome-settings-daemon gnome-shell gnome-shell-extensions gnome-tweaks gsettings-desktop-schemas mutter This is the minimal set of 3.38 p…

That’s the official announcement by the Manjaro Team.

Thanks for your help

Turned out it was just a simple case of me not reading properly

the new nvidia thing broke the dependencies for another package

uninstalled that package and now it’s working

thanks

You’re welcome. Glad it worked for you as it worked for me.
