That’s removing all firefox profiles and should come with a warning to backup bookmarks and whatnot beforehand.

I got the error messages of systemd from log journactl -b -p 3 after this update:

 systemd-udevd[329]: vboxdrv: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules:1 Only network interfaces can be renamed, ignoring NAME="vboxdrv".
 systemd-udevd[335]: vboxdrvu: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules:2 Only network interfaces can be renamed, ignoring NAME="vboxdrvu".
 systemd-udevd[338]: vboxnetctl: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules:3 Only network interfaces can be renamed, ignoring NAME="vboxnetctl".
 systemd-udevd[322]: vboxdrv: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules:1 Only network interfaces can be renamed, ignoring NAME="vboxdrv".
 systemd-udevd[343]: vboxdrvu: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules:2 Only network interfaces can be renamed, ignoring NAME="vboxdrvu"..

Solution:

Edit the file /lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules

#KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"
#KERNEL=="vboxdrvu", NAME="vboxdrvu", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0666"
#KERNEL=="vboxnetctl", NAME="vboxnetctl", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"

KERNEL=="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"
KERNEL=="vboxdrvu", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="vboxnetctl", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass} vboxusers"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN+="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass} vboxusers"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major $minor"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="remove", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN+="/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major $minor"

or ignore these messages from the log.

Seems that LibreOffice 7.2.0.4 (Fresh) start page is taking a huge time to load - stuck at the end of the loading bar, I guess something changed in the way it requests recently opened documents as I have online ones in it. No such delay with a direct Writer or Calc opening so it’s not a blocker.

The update installed and selected a newer version of the kernel. The newer versions of the kernel leave me without sound. I went back to the 5.10 kernel via GRUB menu and now the sound is back.

manjaro KDE: after this update… when install a software either using pacman or pamac i can’t find the software in application launcher. try few different laucnher/menu but still the same result. i can only run the software via terminal or launch via pamac gui.

I can’t update because there are 2 dependency errors:

Using pamac update I also get the following hint: if possible, remove lib32-libpulse and retry.
Removing lib32-libpulse is obviously not an option, if I want to listen to any audio…

Any suggestions?

This should be added to the “known issues” list: wget now always outputs “SSL_INIT” to stderr every time it is run. Issue tracked here: GNU Wget - Bugs: bug #61125, Output SSL_INIT to stderr even... [Savannah]

  1. uninstall those packages and note which applications need them as they will be uninstalled as well.
  2. upgrade
  3. reinstall the applications that were removed in step 1

Yesterday I got the notification in Pamac system tray that 107 updates were available, then I did refresh mirrors using Pamac and shutdown my laptop. Today I get no notification and Pamac shows everything is up to date !

Thanks, but I don’t think that’s feasible.

libcap is apparently required by systemd, ntp, bind, libpulse, zsh, …
I don’t feel comfortable uninstalling systemd :sweat_smile:
Similar situation with libnsl.

Edit: Apparently, I’m did not get the correct signature file for lib32-libcap and lib32-libnsl

error: failed retrieving file 'lib32-libcap-2.53-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig' from manjaro.re : The requested URL returned error: 404

I’ll try the solutions in known issues.
Edit 2: Those didn’t work.
Edit 3: However, I can retrieve the .sig file just fine using my browser: http://manjaro.re/stable/multilib/x86_64/lib32-libcap-2.56-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig For some reason pacman still requests .sig files for libcap version 2.53 instead of 2.56 and libnsl 1.3.0.2 instead of 2.0.0.1.

I concur! :sweat_smile:

Have a look at this and then perform a:

sudo pacman-mirrors --country YourCountry,NeighbouringCountry --interactive

and take all the ones that are green and fast and try again.

This bug (outdated udev rules that disables important features from nvidia cards: audio over hdmi, USB xHCI Host Controller and USB Type-C UCSI devices) is still present (or at least my file /etc/udev/rules.d/90-mhwd-prime-powermanagement.rules has not been updated).
If this is supposed to work only on new installations (but i think that the two usb devices are still not enabled in the last mhwd-db version) then we probably need to add an entry on the “Known issues and solutions” wiki that explain which lines comment/delete from /etc/udev/rules.d/90-mhwd-prime-powermanagement.rules, otherwise everyone who hasn’t a fresh installation from the new iso will keep this bug forever (or add a script in a new update that patches the current installations).
Here is a possible fix that can use in a feature update/add to the issues wiki (use the same command twice again changing 0x40300 to 0x0c0330 and 0x0c8000 if you also want to enable the usb devices of your card).

It went pretty smoothly, and i enjoy the improvements to the ntfs compatibility, being able to actually read filenames in the terminal on a ntfs partition is a huge help.

Pipewire has stopped working well for me after this update. When playing music from VLC (or rather if anything is playing sound) and then something else plays a sound, the audio goes silent until you restart playback. This only seems to happen if I am using Bluetooth headphones, using the speaker sink on my monitor via HDMI works fine.
