I had TimeShift as my backup, but I had zero issues!

Just a minor issue, the plasma5-themes-breath package isn’t updated with the latest background on any branch.

It’s still being worked on (we also need a dark variant), we got just a packages update (so-called prerelease update) here, more major things will show up in upcoming weeks.

“Each new Major Manjaro KDE release will bring a new wallpaper. This we call North.”
I upgraded, but I don’t see this new wallpaper. Is it only on fresh installation?
It’s not a major release yet 
Just a sneak peek of the upcoming change.
P.S. (also @geodic) for now you can get it manually from our Breath repository.

After updating, i got a black screen on the first reboot. Waited 10 minutes and nothing happened, although i could hear my hard drive moving.
I just restarted again and it all worked on that reboot

In my personal opinion, we should have stuck to Plasma 5.24. It was a long-term support release and it was perfect.
Plasma 5.25 has loads of bugs — which I was already warning those newbies about who were loudly complaining weeks ago as to why 5.25 wasn’t in the Stable branch yet — and the graphical transitions from 3D compositing to 2D compositing are now all messed up, as could already be seen when the KDE developers rewrote the flip switch and cover switch effects a while ago. And so now that ugliness has also reached the desktop grid effect and the desktop layout indicators when switching between virtual desktops.
So those are the issues I was having, and I solved it by disabling the desktop layout indicators. I guess I’ll just have to live with the ugly desktop grid rewrite.
Seriously, we should have stuck with 5.24.

Wonderful picture!
I switched to the testing branch on my PC yesterday, so I can’t report anything 
Anything but since I got to the testing branch yesterday, finally my gimp color picker does function
Congratulation for this beautyful release.

So if anyone uses backintime, packages have been renamed by the looks of it, and backintime replaces backintime-cli, so you need to install backintime-qt if you want a GUI.
Otherwise no issues so far.

Yeah, I hate it when seeing people saying things like: “Ah, things work for me so there might be some problems on your side” without actually being helpful to those who actually came across the problem.

I just had a huge issue with my custom KDE Plasma after this update. First I had issues with my keyrings, which I resolved by following the docs, but now I’m stuck with the issue below. It’s been awhile since a major issue like this:
Any help is highly appreciated.
Major issues here. Maybe the Nouveau driver I am using. ??
The plasma desktop was not loading. I had a mouse cursor. I could launch apps that had a shortcut assigned such as Dolphin. But no DE.
I used Timeshift to roll back to KDE 5.24.6. Whew.
The 5.19 kernel upgraded just fine as far as I can tell.
I redid the update but held back anything that wanted to update to 5.25.5-1. So I am at 5.24.6 but KDE frameworks 5.97 and Qt. 5.15.5 using x11
The plasma shell is working again.

Yes, I had to roll back to 5.24.6 then redid the update, updating everything except upgrading to 5.25.5-1.
It is working again. But now what? Be patient?

I have a small problem with Firefox 104.2.2:

I have a problem with Ruby default gem updates. I got this error when installing the packages from stable update 2022-09-12.

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Should I uninstall Ruby before updating the packages? Any ideas?
Edit: This issue has been resolved. I removed the conflicting files above and re-run the pacman command for package updates. Maybe uninstalling Ruby is not a good idea because there are other tools, like RubyGems and Bundler, that are dependent with it.
I haven’t updated yet. I’d like to know what the above means before proceeding.
pacman -Ss xfce-gtk3 shows 2 packages. Of those two, I have installed community/manjaro-xfce-settings 20220616-2.
I also:
- searched
pacman -Ss compat|grep -i xfceto make sure I wasn’t missing anything. - looked at the detailed list of all package changes, saved it and grepped for
compat(results were haskell and libcurl).
What packages make up the XFCE-gtk3 compatible packages?
After the update,
on Manjaro KDE, everything related to KDE (especially Plasma) has huge lags.
Clicking anything on the desktop, taskbar now takes about 3s until something happens.
All other programms work fine (Firefox, Vivaldi, KeePassXC, etc…). It’s just “everything KDE” that feels sloppy, laggy and unresponsive now.
Tried with kernels:
5.18.19-3, 5.19.7-1
(I need at least 5.18.x for the AMD videocard to work)
HW:
Ryzen 7 5800X
AMD RX 6700 XT
Update: Tried clearing cache, now Plasma crashes on boot.
Will revert to previous update via timeshift and try to make a “cleaner” update later. Have to work now 
Update 2: Tried another upgrade after clearing all caches, tmp and closing all programs and it works now. I have, however other minor problems with KDE now, for example: the autostart entries in systemsettings5 do not work anymore.

try clearing cache:
rm -rf ~/.cache/*
reboot
Plasma 5.25 broke also Latte (latte-dock).
latte-dock-git from AUR works with Plasma 5.25.
