Yes. I only get errors.
The variety background image program (installed from the Manjaro Linux community repository) lost a little bit of functionality with the new XFCE 4.16.
Before the new XFCE update I was able to use the scroll wheel while the mouse cursor rests on the variety tray icon to switch background images. With XFCE 4.16 scrolling the mouse wheel on the icon doesnāt do anything anymore.

Same here, no microphone after update (Laptop with AMD Renoir 4600U).
Booting from Kernel 5.9 brings the microphone back.
Issue was introduced after 5.10.2, as far as I can tell, since prior to this update the microphone still workedā¦
Hi.
Iāve noticed something today.
I have a few launchers for my favourites programs separated by categories, each one in a different folder. Before the update the launchers have the ā.desktopā part of their names hidden so when I opened the folders I could see a set of icons with their names in the same way they appear when they sit in the desktop, but after the update all icons in those folders show the ā.desktopā part. The desktopās icons are hiding that part from the names as expected, though.
If I remove the ā.desktopā from the names, the launchers in the folders stop working.
I know that it is not a big deal, but when possible if the Manjaro team could have a look in this matter I would be glad.
Thanks!
This, to me, sounds like a directory display configuration issue.
Granted, I do not use XFCE and neither do I hide my file extensions. It seems like a folder display configuration issue. And with XFCE having gotten the major update, it might very well be that some of the defaults got changed.
With that in mind, I recommend checking if an individual folders display properties can be adjusted. AFAIK this can be customized in KDE/Dolphin, and the settings reside in a .directory file in the root of the directory.
Iām having issues with my MDADM RAID. It does not sync the discs properly anymore with Kernel 5.10.7 and 5.11.rc3. I think there is a fix included in 5.10.8. So far I kept kernel 5.9, but this update broke it (now I am on 5.4, which still works flawlessly).
Booting kernels 5.10 and 5.11 works fine, but I get issues with onedrive and sometimes I cannot shut it down anymore, but the error message changes each time. So far I remember seeing
- Couldnāt unmount /tmp
- Kernel Panic
mdadm: Cannot get exclusive access to /dev/md127 :Perhaps a running process, mounted filesystem or active volume group?
Booting kernel 5.9 does not work anymore. I get
Failed to mount NFSD configuration filesystem.
Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
Failed to mount /boot/efi
Failed to mount RPC Pipe File System.
and some [DEPEND] errors. It goes into emergency mode after that.
I am using pacman -Syyuu to enable downgrades, when they are available in repositories.
Thank you for your tips @Mirdarthos, but my XFCE4 does not have ā.directoryā files. However, I do believe your are right. Something in the defaults got changed with the last update.
Currently the issue is not something that is causing me any problem other than a little visual annoyance, so I will keep using it as it is and will wait for the corrections.
Cheers.

I wouldnāt hold my breath if I were you.
If the defaults have changed it means it was done on purpose. And if thatās the case, it is working correctly and thereās no need for any corrections.
With that in mind, I recommend one of two things:
- either learn to and use it as is, like youāre doing now; or
- Figure out how to customise the individual directory displsy properties and set it up with that.
I hope this helps!
Good point! I think I will do as you advised. I will keep using as it is at the moment, but I will search for a way to customise folder layouts in XFCE4.
Thank you very much for your help!

Status Tray Plugin crashes repeatedly. Has to be removed. Cannot re-add without repeated crashes.
Favorites are missing from Menu.
I made the updates on a machine who have the Manjaro Kde version, I noticed nothing bad. Have there been any optimizations ? The system booting on the SSD is more fast yet than before.
trouble, possibly due to the nVidia being obsolete.
no graphicals
I tried manual, but it says already installed video linux
help?

It started with the kernels and seemingly installing the free drivers

Yes, it works for the favoritesā¦
Hi @Mirdarthos.
I just found more information about the problem with ā.desktopā files:
I understood that the problem is related to the use of the name= parameter within the ā.desktopā file, that was used until now to show the fileās name (as long as it had executable permission). After the update it uses only the fileās name (i.e., āfile_name.desktopā). The author just said that he has no plans to put back as it was.
So, I am already searching for a replacement for Thunar.
Cheers.
At Xfce when I put shortcut on panel It randomly freeze with empty context menu. Whisker menu stilo works. Only panel freeze. I am forced to re-login.
I had to downgrade pulseaudio to 14.0 and it works:
sudo downgrader pulseaudio
sudo downgrader libpulse
sudo downgrader pulseaudio-equalizer
sudo downgrader pulseaudio-lirc
sudo downgrader pulseaudio-jack
sudo downgrader pulseaudio-rtp
sudo downgrader pulseaudio-zeroconf
sudo downgrader pulseaudio-bluetooth
sudo downgrade pulseaudio libpulse pulseaudio-bluetooth pulseaudio-zeroconf pulseaudio-jack pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-lirc pulseaudio-rtp
Iām a little bit curious.
What the icon look like to you?
Because I was using the menda circle icons, and after the update the icons in the favorite menu would still display the GNOME theme icons, while still having menda circle icons on the rest of the UI.
I think this started with the update but am not 100% positive as Iād only just joined as a new manjaro user a few days before and was still setting up my machine when the big update landed.
Anyway, I appear to have something creating multiple processes per second and my PID count after just 2 days is knocking on for 200,000
[subbass@subbass-z390-ud logs]$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
153201 pts/2 00:00:00 bash
165844 pts/2 00:00:00 ps
I canāt for the life of me work out what is going on, machine performance seems fine in other regards, Iām just worried about all these PIDās writing to disk /proc/ ā¦ There seems to be a lot of kworker threads, more than I think Iāve noticed before.
I also had to add āaudit=0ā to grub command line as dmesg was getting flooded with some sort of PAM message just saying something was a āsuccessā, Iāll re-enable auditing if that message might be helpful with the PID problem.
Hi @subbass, and welcome!
To be honest, I donāt think you need to worry. My computer has only been on for ~5 hours and I already have close to 85 000 PIDās.
$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
13793 pts/2 00:00:01 zsh
84779 pts/2 00:00:00 ps
We should always remember, even is we arenāt using the computer, doesnāt mean itās not doing anything.
I donāt think itāll have any affect on you computer. Itās not having any on mine.
