On Cinnamon, my system tray is very messed up for some reason.
Reboots, restarting cinnamon, and checking the applet settings didn’t do anything, this only happened after updating.

Update went smoothly except post-login where a couple of the apps I have selected to auto-start on boot/login failed… steam dumped core (started fine manually afterwards) and firefox “froze” in a state when I needed to restore the ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/sessionstore-backups/previous.jsonlz4 file to ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/sessionstore.jsonlz4 to recover my previous session/tabs.
I normally don’t have issues like these after impromtu reboots… so assuming an update reboot is more “sensitive”, is it better to disable auto-start apps before rebooting when an update has been applied… or is there another way to work with this?
Cinnamon 5.4 is at this point a complete disaster…

Yep. Already got a crash after a couple of hours, not to mention “intelligently hidden” panels are glitchy.
I had an issue with the Cinnamon panel as well. Turns out my problem at least was the “Collapsible Systray” applet. Guess it hasn’t been updated to support Cinnamon 5.4.

The last update has render my wine game to stop working. It start up but then end up in a black screen. I have downgrade wine but that’s not it. I have revert to Steam to install the game. That use to work for ever before. Not sure what that is.
When wine is upgraded as part of an update, I always launch the config for:
- the default prefix…
env WINEPREFIX="/home/<userid>/.wine" winecfg
** Sometimes other requirements get installed at this point… likemono - and any game/app specific prefixes…
env WINEPREFIX="/home/<userid>/.<prefix>/wine" winecfg
I wonder if I should wait 24 hrs before updating, I barely installed it yesterday and voilà ! a new update
Set up Timeshift, backups, and get snapshots first.

This update seems to have fixed a bug i have had for ages in plasma, where after booting to desktop having a second monitor connected but not turned on, the second desktop would appear on the primary monitor as an overlay until clicking on the desktop with the mouse.
Telegram displays dark tray icon when dark plasma theme is enabled.
Solution:
sudo cp /usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/status/22/telegram* /usr/share/icons/breeze/status/22/
sudo cp /usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/status/24/telegram* /usr/share/icons/breeze/status/24/
Hi at all,
is Virtualbox now stabil running? The last update the guests did not run stabil.
I am on kernel 5.10.xx
Best regards Stefan
I have the exact same issue with each update and the issue appeared from 2-3 most recent updates:
cp: cannot create regular file '/var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/pamac_aur.db': Permission denied
Error: Failed to prepare transaction: target not found: anydesk-bin
The issue repeats for almost every single AUR package.
@thingsiplay mentioned he used sudo pamac update to “fix” it, but as far as I understand, sudo pamac is highly discouraged.
$ ls -lasih /var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/

Just a heads up: I’m having some issues with Cinnamon DE as well.
For me it’s mainly that all display settings for multiple monitors are forgotten/reset to default. That means that monitor layout and orientation is off. Also the setting for which monitor is primary is gone.
Additionally, the Display settings dialog is no longer in the Start menu by itself. You have to open it through the general System Settings app.
So, this is all easily fixable, but annoying nonetheless. During a month I will easily connect my laptop to two dozen work/meeting room setups and all those display settings were handily remembered and automatically applied, so now I will face a couple of months of going into the display settings everytime I use a new desk or meeting room.
Update went well, as usual. A few hiccups to note:
- A few AUR packages had to be uninstalled because of dependency conflicts, although the very same versions could be reinstalled afterwards.
- Most notably, the first reboot and Plasma session start following the update was a lot longer than usual. That didn’t reproduce on subsequent reboot.

After update my keyboard (italian layout) doesn’t work as expected. the AltGr doesn’t work, and in the terminal i cannot write any characters. The locale.gen file seems correct like was before, i try to regenerate it with “sudo locale-gen”, but it doesn’t resolve the problem. Also Cinnamon complain about some applets that cannot be run and some other errors. I get back with timeshift and all return to normal. I wait some days to retry update.
If the solution in the wiki post does not work for you this post might help:
