I’m getting a different IP that isn’t in the ru-blacklist (it also opens in Firefox). However, pamac update --aur still doesn’t work. Weird.

The RSS issue in qbittorrent seems already fixed in Arch repos. You can install the newest version directly:

sudo pacman -U https://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/community/os/x86_64/qbittorrent-4.4.3.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

All went well for me except

When I start applications there’s some lag between clicking them and them actually running. For example calculator can take between 2-6 seconds to start up. Before, it was instant. I don’t know how to diagnose this.
Everything (like calculator) seems to be re-skinned lately which is nice.

Check for errors using journalctl -r after you try starting a problematic application.

Krita was broken a few days ago, I got a message in terminal saying QT version was not compatible. Today I opened it to share the message here but it just works now. I’m just leaving this info here fwiw.

Gnutls 3.7.5-2 seems to solve the problems with kmymoney

Hi. Not sure if this is the place, but since few months, there is a problem with Krusader not being able to extract compressed files.
Based on last comment https ://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441376 I am trying to contact you :slight_smile:


edited: direct link to kde bug and the relevant comment

The IP is also different for me now, it must be dynamically assigned by the cdn.
If you can get to

https://aur.manjaro.org/packages-meta-ext-v1.json.gz

in browser (& it downloads the .gz) then something odd is going on because both should be using port 433. But its possible pamac uses a non-standard port & then perhaps its blocked at system/router/isp.
I was able to pamac update --aur & it synced properly.

My only other guess would be pamac is missing an update. Disable aur, refresh mirrors, check for updates.

A couple of ideas which may or may not help.
Try running htop and see if there’s something hogging your CPU. That could well make launching applications laggy.
You could also try running them from the command line and seeing if there’s anything showing up there (for instance, is there still the same lag or are there any messages?)

I had the same issue and downgrading git-delta worked for me. I don’t agree about the decision of git-delta to rely blindly on on the same cache as bat and hopefully they will fix it at some point.

But in the meantime, would it be possible to keep the version of git-delta aligned with a compatible version of bat?

Maybe a bit nitpicking, but could someone please change

This is due to an incompatibility between TimeShift and rsync , fixed in version 21.09.1-4.

It’s tedious enough to seek the package in the mirror’s package listings. Especially since pacman -Qi does not tell you if the package is in core, extra, community etc.

Done.

pacman -Si does. :wink:
