@Fabby ,
Good afternoon! Thanks for your message, and the very helpful instructions.
I’ve gathered the information you requested, but I wanted to sort out with the easy question:
Does this also happen when you create a new user and log in there?
Things appear to work as expected when creating a new user. Everything looks normal with the second user I created, except for a missing icon for the Power Manager widget. It’s just a little generic document icon with a folded lower-right corner. It still works when I click on it.
Thanks for the tip to try this. I was too busy stressing out over the weird behavior to remember that creating a new user fixed the graphics glitches the last time things went wrong after a system update.
So, that appeared to fix the problem (the widget glitch likely being something else?), but I’m a bit concerned something still might be misconfigured. I’ve included my system info below. For context, I’m running Manjaro Awesome on a NAS equipped with a virtualization server, set to use 2 cores and 6 GB of RAM.
Requested information.

Now that things are mostly working, what should I do to try to fix the glitch with the widget icons?
Related Question.
So, even though this appears to be fixed, I’m still a bit concerned.
The ISO for the Awesome WM edition of Manjaro is at 20.0. I upgraded it with pacman
, but I’m wondering if upgrading 900 packages at once might have caused issues. Would it be better to start with a minimal image (if such thing exists) that does not have any GUI at all, and install Xorg and my preferred WM/DEs on that?
Or should I consider this fixed?
Thanks again!
