You can read at beginning of this thread:

" New warnings when building the fallback initcpio - Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa, qed, qla1280, qla2xxx

That’s due to the recent changes to the linux-firmware package. Note these are warnings, not errors. You only need those firmwares if you have Mellanox Spectrum switches, Marvell devices, Qualcomm SoCs, Cavium LiquidIO server adapters, QLogic devices and Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb ethernet adapters. if you have that hardware you can install linux-firmware-qlogic to get rid of those warnings. If you do not have that hardware you can safely ignore those warnings.

pamac install linux-firmware-qlogic

The update (which came as a surprise) broke two of my programs:

1. MS Teams didn’t startup anymore, giving my just a blank white screen. I had to add --no-sandbox --disable-gpu-sandbox to the invocation, editing the .desktop file.
2. My MacOS VM running on KVM/QEMU doesn’t work anymore, giving me a kernel panic after the OpenCore boot. No idea why, worked perfectly before the update.

I’d rather deliberately decide to apply a kernel update, instead of getting one applied buried under a bunch of non-critical updates.

Hello,

This is for the users that still use nvidia-340 driver.
I ran into unable to compile error with exit code 10 ( its not that important ).

The important thing is:
You will have a make.log file and in there the error states that its a mismatch gcc compiler 11.1 → 11.2

In order to fix this you will

1. open /etc/profile and at the end of the file add export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1
2. Reboot.
3. You will be greeted by black screen. Don’t panic Go to tty login as root and run
   dkms autoinstall
4. Reboot.

That’s it.

It worked for me.

Cheers…

Desktop environment: XFCE

xpad preference “Tray left mouse click behavior” no longer functions with this version 5.5.0-1 update. Tray icon left mouse click behavior is now identical to right mouse click behavior. Had to downgrade to version 5.4.0-2.

[elia]

Thanks it worked! All the best, take care!

Dolphin doesn’t display file thumbnails since this update.

After update wifi stopped working i.e. connecting, bluetooth was always disabled after reboot, but worked once enabled. Wired network worked but chromium hat connection issues to random websites. Completely unsure why, couldn’t find any obvious issues via journal. Occurred in kernels 5.16, 5.15 and 5.10, reboot made it get stuck at a black screen while shutting down. I rolled back everything to old versions to make it work again, since it’s a work laptop, so I’ll need to have it working tomorrow. Anyone experienced similar issues?

Thanks for your very good explanation. That helps a lot. It is always helpful to include solutions like you did. Thanks so much for your help.

Just updated my Manjaro KDE with this new update.
Regardless of whether Dolphin’s “Open new folders in tabs” is selected or not, all new folders are opened as tabs.
This appears to be a brand new bug, just introduced, as until yesterday, Dolphin was operating correctly.

[wo80]

So, I always like to install the Gnome minimal ISO. Installation as a VirtualBox guest went well, but the desktop really looks “minimal” this time (compared to 21.2.2): no Gnome Layouts Manager, no Gnome Tweaks, no pre-installed themes (I like to use Matcha-azul), no Dash to Dock … and the list goes on.

Is this by accident, or is it the new minimal standard (I hope not!)?

[linux4all]

Thank you jrichard326. I am on it

So i have i3 installed alongside KDE (Seperate login). Everything was running smoothly, but after the update i have problems with transparency in i3. Everything that should be transparent is black. Tried copying over my picom backup, but that doesnt solve the problem

[Tickles]

I am seeing this also.

[Daniel-I]

Hmm, I’m not having this issue post update. @Loacoon and @Tickles, have you confirmed the Dolphin Hamburger Menu=>Configure=>Configure Dolphin=>General=>Preview settings are set to your liking? Just thinking they might have somehow changed; here are what my Preview settings look like:

Make sure the file types you want previewed are selected, and if the “Skip Previews” setting(s) is set too low/small… files will be skipped because of their size.

Found icon of unknown type 'unknown' in 'system/flatpak/flatpak/cc.nift.nsm/*', skipping it.

Has anyone else been getting this warning for the last several updates when “Updating the appstream cache”? I’ve searched online and it appears to be an issue upstream. I don’t even use flatpak!

It doesn’t seem to be an important issue but it would be nice to find a resolution so the message would go away.

I have Atom installed from the official repository. Version 1.58.0.
Before the update it worked fine. Now it doesn’t start anymore.

I have tried to uninstall-reinstall Atom but nothing changes.
Then I have installed Atom from flatpack (note: version on flatpack is 1.59.0).
This one seems to work fine.

[Flopy]

I don’t seem to be having any trouble so far. However, the Accent Colours for KDE 24.2 seem to be working a tad erratically: in Dolphin, Settings, etc my new purple highlight/accent looks just the way I want it to, but in my Slide VD Switcher, the VD I switch to is still highlighted green; the same is happening in KRunner.

Dolphin looks like this:

Very minor, but it would be nice if Accent Colours really did apply across the board.

Once more, you guys leave me utterly impressed with your work. I adore Manjaro, and more each day!
