I haven’t updated yet as I have a manjaro - W10 dual boot setup (two different physical hard-drives).
Can I add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false to /etc/default/grub and do a sudo update-grubbefore the update to avoid the problem right away or does the update itself change this property in the /etc/default/grub-file?
I added the grub_disable_os_prober=false line to /etc/default/grub prior to applying the updates and everything was fine after applying and rebooting. My dual boot setup remained. You won’t need to do the sudo update-grub after added the line as it’ll happen after updating.
That will work also. Your configuration file should’t get overwritten or replaced during the update. Instead, a .pacnew file is placed alongside /etc/default/grub.
In general: Make sure to look for .pacnew files in /etc regularly and merge them back to the corresponding configuration files as described in my previous post.
Really wonder what the issue was. I have two computers on KDE and they have been receiving updates for about two years now, and there have been a few fixes along the way, nothing major. It is strange that you are having so much difficulty. Unusual hardware? Packages added from AUR? Custom scripts?
I guess I had the opposite experience, Mint would break in a month. I kept trying it for the guest gaming computer, but finally gave up.
I had exactly the same issue. I then ran
pamac install manjaro-pipewire
from Known issues and solutions above ( Pulseeffects stopped working)
The update completed with no other issues. Audio on youtube still seems to work so I think this solved it.
Update works well so far. I was dual-booting as well and used the quick-fix mentioned (enable os-prober manually). Thanks and happy Women’s Day to all the great devs behind the project!
Update seems to be working so far, but I have a question.
After the update, I checked the orphans tab on pamac and it lists the packages alsa-card-profiles and python-asn1crypto. Both of them indicate that they were installed as dependencies for another package, and their dependency tab both do not have any “Required by” entries. Is it safe for me to uninstall these packages? They’re both “too deep” into the system for me to even be aware of their existence until today, so I don’t think I’ve fiddled with anything related to them, but them being system files that I do not understand, I want to ask here anyway just to be sure.
Hi. Issues with screen sharing still persists. I don’t have enough technical knowledge to fix it manually, and this issue carries from 2 stable updates. First reported in Screen Sharing issue at the end of January. I need it to work. Any news/Suggestions?
Hi, pacman -Sii <package name> shows reverse dependencies. Also, if you try to uninstall the packages, pacman/pamac will try to uninstall dependant packages. So, just inquire the remove list that programs show you.
Good luck!
