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.

56

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This bug (outdated udev rules that disables important features from nvidia cards: audio over hdmi, USB xHCI Host Controller and USB Type-C UCSI devices) is still present (or at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.

Just updated and for me OBS stopped seeing input audio devices.

Opened another thread:

Hi, since the update I am facing delay with Thunar (file explorer in XFCE). Most of the times it starts with delay of several seconds, or it does not start at all. When starting from CLI, I get this message:

Failed to register: ZeitĂźberschreitung wurde erreicht
(should translate to: Failed to register: time limit was reached)

Before the update I did not have any issues at all. Any idea anyone?

65

After this update, firefox on sway becomes very unresponsive. Almost every buttons on the top bar except the tabs switcher don’t do anything when clicked. Pages are slow although the application still consume normal amount of RAM.

This issue is not observed in firefox when run on gnome 41.

I think this may have something to do with the updated matcha-gtk-theme.
Update: This issue is already reported here.

66

Update broke something :frowning: My mouse doesn’t work after resume from suspend. Happens on kernel 5.13 and 5.14, all USB ports. It’s powered up, cursor is placed in the lower left corner area, but it doesn’t move and buttons don’t work. I have to unplug and plug again. Any ideas?

67

Still having some audio issues (since 5.3.12-1 update), documented here: Sound issues with 5.13.12-1 / 5.14 - speakers recognized as headphones and microphone not working

68

Yeah, I had this too, and it can’t be set

ctrl+shift+delete - display dialog to selectively delete history, cache, etc for a specific time period.

Create a new profile (and keep old, at least for the time being). In the command line, type about:about and select about:profiles (could also just type about:profiles). This can also be accomplished by starting firefox from the command line, firefox -P &.

Hi @Computer_Email23 , I think it is a bug when you install a new 09-16 iso, it should be OK if you upgrade system from an old one .

You can try this to solve it:

$ yay -Rc gnome-shell-extension-nightthemeswitcher
$ yay -Su gnome-shell-extension-nightthemeswitcher

And the warning should be disappeared.
