Got burned by this update… my internet connection is no longer working(PPoE type) so i’m posting this using a older live usb version of manjaro(with this one was able to connect fine with no issues just by creating&using a new PPoE connection)
Something got changed i’m guessing its either the new network manager version or smth else relating to a message i saw scrolling by during update in the terminal window telling me the ping was changed to manjaroro.org or smth along these lines, wasn’t paying much attention at the time and later coudn’t find any mention of this in the pacman update log…
Either way i’m quite annoyed by this kind of crap slipping by into a stable release… ah well its time to do some more digging i guess
If any of you guys got a clue on what was changed and how to revert it pls post it, other then that ill try and do a downgrade to the network mnager and see if that solves anything(don’t expect it would more likely its just a settings change that did this)
PS:i may have found the culprit while trying to downgrade the network manager i saw this message(same one that came during update i belive): Changing NetworkManager Connectivity-Ping to manjaro.org now all i need to do i find out where to change this setting and what was its original value before this mess occurred… Seems this is not caused by this but smth else as after changing the value back to its original archlinux.org in usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf it still not working.
Well downgrading the network manager to either one of 2 previous versions i had didn’t do anything so its definitely a recent change introduced by this update that killed my internet connection…
Now what was changed and how do i revert those changes is what I want to know… before i lose my temper and scrap the OS altogether.
well, hard to tell what it might be but it would be useful to submit the inxi-output below, that would show if the driver is enabled. are you using lan or wifi ? from what i read your networkmanager is total broken. there had been so much fatal issues in recent months that it’s hard to suggest what it might be but maybe this two links can give you some help to dig into the problem. because of right that same behaviour i started to use a clone-backup and i always backup before updating this general “big” updates as today. the chance to break a rolling-release is something you must always accept if you’re using rolling release.
hope you’ll get it running back again
fingers crossed
Please read this: [HowTo] Provide System Information
and press the three dots … below your post and press the to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
Changing DNS with systemd-resolved not working with PPPoE seems to be related to the above ,can’t even begin to understand what i’m supposed to do about it with no internet access from within my bootable hdd partition.
Anyways ill post the result of the command you gave me soon after yet another reboot to my internet capable usb stick OS…
This is all that was network related that I found after issuing that comand

This is the result of systemctl status NetworkManager
same here; after this update and rebooting a few times,i can’t connect to the internet.
I’m using DSL/PPPoE with a username and password provided by the ISP.
i tried restarting the Network Manager service but to no avail.
i’m quit annoyed as i have things to do.
i’d appreciate some urgent help.
Nope that was the first thing i have tried myself… smth changed with this update in some network manager related file… problem is I lack the familiarity to even know what exact files are those and if I can simply replace them with a functional prior version of themselves from my bootable usb stick…
Its amazing how smth like this slipped into the stable build… either way i’m out of ideas and short of taking some more blind shots based on the arch wiki tomorrow ill just call it quits and scrap the distro altogether in favor of smth that doesn’t require me to flip trough douzens of wiki pages just to get a simple working PPoE connection.
Welcome to the club linub seems like you got the same exact issue i got and suspect more folks will be joining use soon enough(probably all that are using a dsl/ppoe)
seems that you’re 2 with same issue now. That seems to be an issue with PPoE-connections. Hopefully some cracks will join the thread and are able to give more knowledge than me.
is there a possibility to downgrade ?
If you are refering to the network manager i already tried that but it doesn’t help hence my assumption that some settings files got modified somewhere and isnt an issue of the networkmanger itself.
But as i stated before i’m no dev and haven’t got a clue what those files are and what was changed to them.
It happened to me as well, except I couldn’t access specific domains for whatever reason, i.e. google, and judging from the comments you left, I decided to downgrade the version of Network Manager.
If you don’t have it, install the downgrade package: sudo pacman -S downgrade
After that, downgrade the networkmanager package: sudo downgrade networkmanager
Select any version prior to 1.36, I chose 1.34 and after that’s done, just restart the service: sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
Hope this helps at least someone, I’m not sure how to go about this if you’ve lost connection to the outside world.
Well Arch packages worked for me whenever I needed to get something working on Manjaro, and since it’s Arch-based, things tend to “just work” with Arch packages.
i’ve manually downloaded both libnm-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and networkmanager-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
can i just put them both in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ and do a downgrade from there with : downgrade networkmanager downgrade libnm ?
Welcome to Manjaro! 
to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
