Today’s update:

package updated:

manjaro-gnome-settings-20220526-1

Got this message:

We have switched back to QGnomePlatform for GNOME 42.
 qt5ct and qt6ct (Qt Configuration Utilities) may be marked as orphans.
 If you want use QGnomePlatform with the Adwaita Qt style,
 you'll need remove or comment the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME variable
 in /etc/environment.

What should I do? Have no idea if I should remove or change it somehow,.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for

If you don’t know what those are about: Uniform look for Qt and GTK applications - ArchWiki

Akonadi with MySQL/MariaDB fails too often for me. Switched to PostgreSQL instead.

I think this is related to… "Hotspot Login" pops up in Network Login app when waking from sleep - #17 by GaVenga
I use ethernet, not wifi, and I am getting “Wired Ethernet: Connected to Ethernet (log in required)” on mouseover of my network connection systray icon… there was a similar “Network Manager” popup I closed; dismissing it knowing I didn’t need to login to my ethernet network before realizing it was also echo’d in the systray.

In my case, /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf is pointing to http://ping.manjaro.org/check_network_status.txt, which if I open in a browser throws a 404 Page not found.

EDIT:
I’ve updated my file to include a few of the typical replacements/options, opting to use KDE for now:

[connectivity]
#uri=http://ping.manjaro.org/check_network_status.txt
#uri=http://www.archlinux.org/check_network_status.txt
#uri=http://nmcheck.gnome.org/check_network_status.txt
uri=http://networkcheck.kde.org

…and all was well after a service restart with $ sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

[GaVenga]

temporary Work-Arround:

Warning pops up and says that i have a login required?

alternativ change the line in /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf like this: connectivity] [uri=http://ping.manjaro.org/check_network_status.txt] uri=http://nmcheck.gnome.org/check_network_status.txt and: sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

I’m not sure about the errors with
journalctl -r
but the UI errors seemed to have been fixed after a few restarts.

Hello,
after update, no sound output from any application.

Sound Blaster Z, pipewire-git & wireplumber. Only dummy output sink available.

My solution: rebuild all AUR pipewire packages in use:

pipewire-full-alsa-git
pipewire-full-ffmpeg-git
pipewire-full-git
pipewire-full-jack-client-git
pipewire-full-pulse-git
pipewire-full-v4l2-git
pipewire-full-zeroconf-git

After GNOME session restart, sound worked normally.

Regards.

I was unable to activate bluetooth after the update. Bluetoothctl reported no default controller.

My Solution:
Rolling back the kernel solved the issue. I switched from linux517 to linux515.

Same here.
Also Wi-Fi started displaying “log-in required” popup for some reason (it works fine, though).

What is "You need to log in to this network" when activating a wired connection?

It seems the site used for the network connection check (http://ping.manjaro.org/check_network_status.txt) is currently down and therefore we get this notification. You can find the address in “20-connectivity.conf” located in /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d I think the problem will disappear once the site is back up.

What is "You need to log in to this network" when activating a wired connection? - #2 by Xindl

Thank you!

[winnie]

Posts #5 and #6 (in the linked thread) show you a workaround by creating a new .conf file and restarting the NetworkManager service. You can keep this change as a permanent solution too, there’s no harm done.

[goma-chan]

I’ve just noticed that my whole desktop (KDE) went black - no wallpapers, no icons. Any help is appreciated.

[GaVenga]

@winnie

here’s no harm done.

Correct - but: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity.conf
exists in system already (I use Gnome)

[brahma]

what is your DE?
with no desktop you mean completely blank screen?
provide more info

[winnie]

Since you’re on KDE.

Are you using dual monitors? Can you test it out with only a single display?

Otherwise, you can try the following to see if it helps out:

1. Log out of KDE

2. Switch to TTY2:

• CTRL + ALT + F2

3. Login to this TTY2 terminal

4. Stop the display-manager service:

• sudo systemctl stop display-manager

5. Move/delete the old kscreen config:

• mv -v $HOME/.local/share/kscreen $HOME/.local/share/kscreen.bak

6. Rebuild the KDE cache:

• kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental

7. Wait about 30 seconds

8. Then finally restart the display-manager service and login to KDE:

• sudo systemctl restart display-manager && exit

KDE. Yes completely black screen, but taskbar and windows are OK (that’s why I haven’t even noticed that at first).

You’re not supposed to touch that file. You’re supposed to create a new “drop in” file under /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/

[GaVenga]

Then let us do …/30–stupid.conf
The offending url is inside this holy file - so you ignore “not to touch the earth” file

or nothing will change - although time changes everything
B.t.w.: today is the first day of the rest of your life!
