As a new member, you may want to subscribe to notifications for the Stable Updates category. Every bundled update, whether it’s for Manjaro Testing or Manjaro Stable, always comes accompanied by a dedicated announcement thread.

  • The first post of the thread contains the changes with regard to the previous bundled update.

  • The second post of the thread details the potential problems, and how to deal with them.

  • The announcement thread also always contains a poll (in the first post), and a summary of past issues (in the second post), for those who’ve skipped an update — which is not advised with a rolling-release distribution, but it does happen. :wink:

the wifi works on windows 11 and endevour OS live iso, while Gemini/claude 4, say hardware damage the fact that it works on other OS and i 3 weeks ago i had the wifi connection running say something is odd

my feeling is something related to the migration from linux-firmware (linux-firmware (20250508.788aadc8-2)) → linux-firmware-meta, i had a bunch or orphaned packages

You had?
Past tense?
You did remove them?

None of those could have been firmware - if you have the meta package installed, you’ll still have all the firmware packages.

Going by feelings is not productive.

In /var/log/pacman.log there will be everything recorded that has been altered, added or removed.

yep

i did feed that and other logs to chatgpt, gemini, claude and they conclude the wi-fi module is broken but works on windows and on endevour OS

Orphans are, by definition, packages not used or needed by any other.

Don’t ask AI - it doesn’t know.
It (or you, relying on it) may get lucky sometimes - usually not.

There is a wiki here on the forum - and there is the Arch wiki, which is applicable in almost all cases to Manjaro as well.

What is it that you mean?
Which desktop environment are we talking about?
Gnome?
Xfce4?
Cinnamon?
Plasma? (my crystal ball says this is the least likely :wink: )

as always:
inxi -zv8
would have made that question unnecessary

You may have lost the applet by mistake. :man_shrugging:
It should be easily possible to add it again to whatever system tray or panel you use.

Alternative:
open a terminal and type:
nmtui

for the time being, until you (or we) can figure something out

nmtui let me pick old saved wifis i put the password and nothing happens

Is it possible that you’re missing some firmware packages that you accidentally removed?
That could be the reason your Wi-Fi isn’t working.

nmtui comes up with a four items menu:

Edit a connection
Activate a connection
Set system hostname
Radio
and also:
Quit

With Radio you can enable/disable the WiFi
With Edit a connection you can add new connections or edit existing ones (change password, for instance)

Your WiFi interface seems to be down (switched off)
but the driver appears to be present.
Did you try the Radio menu item and see whether that is the case - and try to switch it on …?
