Chromium / Google Chrome cannot save files to most folders (GNOME and Xfce)
This is an upstream bug with the package xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
In the meantime, you can try to remove the package xdg-desktop-portal-gnome (if feasible, without any dependency issues or conflicts), or wait for the bug to be fixed upstream.
Without any xdg-desktop-portal-* packages, Chromium and Google Chrome should correctly detect the environment and present either KDialog (KDE) or GTK file picker (GNOME, Xfce) upon saving and downloading files.
An alternative workaround, for now, is to intentionally click on the filename field, and then press Enter to save / download the file.

libkipi: Pamac fails to build the package from AUR
- libkipi is a deprecated dependency for some KDE applications, and has been moved to AUR.
- When using Pamac graphically, you can disable the update for libkipi, before removing it from your system.
- When using Pamac from the terminal, you can proceed the update in multiple steps:
pamac upgrade --no-aur
pamac remove libkipi
pamac upgrade --aur
TimeShift: new rsync snapshots do not show
- This is due to an incompatibility between TimeShift and rsync, fixed in version 21.09.1-4.
- You can either wait for your repository mirror to have that version available, or force your system to pick an up-to-date mirror:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 && sudo pacman -Syu
Wine: cannot be built locally
- mingw-w64-binutils requires an upstream patch to be applied to the Arch package, which Manjaro reuses.
- In the meantime, follow this workaround or disable parallel compilation.
GNOME 42 Xorg Fractional Scaling
Please install gnome-control-center from the repo after this update and reboot.
pamac install gnome-control-center
gnome-control-center-x11-scaling is currently not available for GNOME 42, because Ubuntu is using version 41 for their current LTS and the patches have not been ported.
You can still use mutter-x11-scaling but will have to enable/disable fractional scaling via gsettings.
To enable fractional scaling after installation run:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['x11-randr-fractional-scaling']"
To disable fractional scaling run:
gsettings reset org.gnome.mutter experimental-features

KeePassXC auto-type does not work
Upgrading KeePassXC from version 2.6.6 to 2.7.0 partially breaks the “auto-type” function. This is fixed upstream in version 2.7.1.
In in the meantime, to have it behave (and work) as it did with version 2.6.6, change the following option:
Tools → Settings → General → Auto-Type → uncheck “Always ask before performing Auto-Type”
Version 2.7.1, which did not make it into this batch of Stable Updates, works correctly, even with the above option enabled.
Desktop Icons (DING) Gnome extention and File Previews stop working due to a crash in sushi.
This has been fixed upstream in sushi version 41.2. To restore functionality you can manually upgrade.
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/s/sushi/sushi-41.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.2) with this library (5.15.3)
- Check the mirror you use is up to date:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
- If you use qt5-styleplugins (AUR), rebuild or remove it:
pamac build qt5-styleplugins

First please check if new bugfix version 1.36.2-1.0 of NetworkManager improves things.
If it does not, downgrade to 1.34.0 (and restart network manager after) :
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libnm/libnm-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/n/networkmanager/networkmanager-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Bug report: FS#73948 - networkmanager 1.36.0 breaks DSL connection

- Consider disabling the mangohud overlay until the bug is fixed upstream.
VPN via L2TP might not work anymore
See FS#74089 - networkmanager 1.36 breaks vpn with networkmanager-l2tp
You may need to downgrade to 1.34.0:
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libnm/libnm-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/n/networkmanager/networkmanager-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Issues with Jack2 when using Pipewire.
Pipewire tend to replace all stuff related to Audio. This time jack2 seems to create issues. In the past pipewire-jack provided jack2. However, since the lack of dbus support that line got removed and only conflicts kept. So if you use jack2 with the dbus feature, you may want to remove the pipewire-jack package. If not you can continue and additionally install lib32-pipewire-jack package.
Last update removed linux514. What you can do.
Time to time we have to drop kernel series from our repos. So either you adopt to the new 5.15 LTS or choose any other still supported kernel we have.
sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux514
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux515
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
