all went smoothly, apart from kmail. I cant write emails anymore because of 449898 – "setFcc: collection invalid" after answering an e-mail. Whenever i#m trying to put an mailadress in the to: Line Kmail crashes. so no solution in sight.

Same here for kvantum-theme-matchama.
I removed the package (pamac labels this as a foreign package) and installed kvantum-theme-matcha.
A post was split to a new topic: Are statistics available how often each version of Manjaro was downloaded
Thanks for sharing your experience; however I don’t have a /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/60-Latin.conf file… oh wait, yes I do as “lowercase” 60-latin.conf.
However, I’m not comfortable editing that file… doesn’t editing files outside userspace run the risk of any changes I make getting clobbered by future updates?
I noticed a couple interesting folders in the home directory:
-
~/.cache/fontconfig- contains 23 ugly (GUID?) looking files… wonders what would happen if I purged them
-
~/.config/fontconfig- an empty folder… could I copy the60-latin.conffile here for a userspace modification?
seems I may be on the right track @ Font configuration - ArchWiki, but it’s a bit more complicated and hard to understand with no previous related knowledge
I think for now I’m happy with my modified ~/.conkyrc. Odd how conky was the only application where I noticed a font change… but I’m happier with the larger font size from my post-update edits.

That was dropped from the repos and hasn’t been updated in years.
You can mark orphans as explicitly installed with:
sudo pacman -D --asexplicit <package-name>
Font Awesome has been updated from 5 to 6, which made my polybar unhappy. I needed to change font-<n> = Font Awesome 5 to font-<n> = Font Awesome 6.

After the update I can no longer login with fingerprint. It used to ask for the fingerprint and now it just is a blank line, it seems to look for it but hangs and eventually comes back asking for the password on CLI. On the login screen it comes back with failed to login. Logging in with a password seems to take forever and suddenly the desktop appears. Going to comment out the polkit lines regarding the fingerprint and will check later if I can pinpoint what is going on.
Knotes in KDE: all my saved notes disappeared after upgrade.
Solution: Moved notes from previous .notes directory to new Knotes directory /home/mike/.local/share/notes/
All is good now.
User Icon cannot change again. Same error as this one.

I think I recall reading this was a “KDE System Settings” issue… but if you use the “Accounts” section of “Manjaro Settings Manager” you can successfully change the user picture.
I think I needed to logout/reboot for the launcher image to update, but could see it was successfully changed on the lock screen after making the change.
Also, I recall it didn’t look like the image was applied in MSM=>Accounts immediately after the change either… so the quickest way to check is to lock your PC (Meta+L for me) to see it applied there before wasting any time on a log out/in or reboot.
EDIT: This is an untested suggestion… but I just noticed I have 3 image files (2 are symlinks pointing to the first) in my Home directory:
-
.faceis the jpeg image I asked MSM to use (and is the exact same file size) -
.face.iconis a symlink to.face -
.iconis a symlink to.face
If you already have these files… editing .face could be a less ideal but workable solution.
Thanks, that worked for me. I had issue with fonts on Mousepad and xfce4 terminal. 
I am hit by the kmail “setFcc: collection invalid”, too with a crash on editing recipient fields, finally even on kmail startup.
Temporary workaround:
rm ~/.local/share/kmail2/autosave/*
and remove the PGP key from your identity.

Hi! I also wanted to change the new font (Noto) to the older font (DejaVu) because I don’t like aesthetically the new one, but in my case, a system-wide change. I tried to change it on the typography section of the system settings but it only worked for some texts on some applications. Then, I came here and I read the guide of font configuration on the ArchWiki you shared (thanks for that) and I figured out I just had to modify ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with the changes @pub pointed out, and now I have the old font system-wide as before. And because is on user config it will not be overwritten by future updates, in theory. So thanks @Daniel-I and @pub you both
Finally, a comment to the distro makers. I was a bit frustrated when the change on fonts settings through the system settings not worked well, I fell that the experience is not consistent if you want to change the fonts settings system-wide. There is a way to fix that? Apart from that, thanks for this great distro, of course

After the update I’ve had trouble connecting to my workplace’s wifi. It’s a WEP protected one, so there’s a warning sign next to the name. I try to connect, but nothing happens. I used timeshift to go back to a save point before the update and I could connect without any hassle. Now, after applying the update once again, I’m back in the same situation.
Is there anything I’m missing or should I open a new support thread with more detailed info?
Glad the link helped you! What still confuses me is that my ~/.config/fontconfig/ folder is empty… so I’m unsure which file I can/should copy as a source renamed as ~/.config/fontconfig/font.conf.
Why are so many repos outdated https://repo.manjaro.org/ ? It’s been 3 days since the update, very unusual
I forgot you don’t have a user’s fonts.conf file. Maybe just coping and renaming the 60-latin.conf file or creating a new one with the xml template from the ArchWiki site:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- settings go here -->
</fontconfig>
I hope that helps
one update today …
LANG=C pacman -Si vivaldi
Repository : community
Name : vivaldi
Packager : Mark Wagie <manjaro.org>
Build Date : Wed Feb 16 17:13:34 2022
so “outdated” if not synch since “17:13”
no, sometime we have 1…3 package the next day, or one package for security between updates
Interesting. Even generated on 2022-02-16 20:23 a lot of mirrors didn’t sync. Most likely due to the update of Vivaldi …
