5 posts were split to a new topic: I get the message that the package is wrong or corrupt
I did the update yesterday, and today when I restarted the computer, I realised that my external monitor is not positioned as it used to be. I went to System Settings > Display and Monitor > Displays to try to reconfigure it, but instead of the usual panel, I get to see the following error message:
I’ve tried to reinstall kdisplay and disman, but it doesn’t solve the problem. I suppose these are important modules, no? Or can I remove them, as suggested by the error message?

My Cinnamon panel wasn’t working right either. It seemed to prefer an “always hide” behavior, then later decided to add a “tiny size” to the mix. I couldn’t figure out a way to make it work, so I had to do a Timeshift restore.
Please test zfs-dkms / zfs-utils 2.1.5-1 coming along shortly.
The precompiled modules; i.e., linux518-zfs are NOT updated yet.
The F2FS problem that was present in previous update is still present.
My laptop refuses to boot, timeshift backup corrupted.
I’m kinda disappointed, all newest kernels still can cause serious data loss with F2FS.
Telegram 4.0 is a complete piece of junk. It cannot start minimized, and has serious problems with window manager and display.
Update was fine initially, but now linux518-zfs 2.1.5-1 is failing to load the ZFS kernel modules. linux515-zfs 2.1.5-1 is also failing, so it seems to be the ZFS update rather than the specific kernel.
EDIT: Downgrading to ZFS 2.1.4 has my ZFS functional again. Definitely an issue with the precompiled ZFS 2.1.5-1 packages.
sorry for the late, i just tested, it worked, i can boot into my system with zfs-dkms 2.1.5-1 now. thanks.
Or just use pamac update.
The suddenly-appeared zfs update (2.1.5-1) breaks my zfs root. I have to chroot my system to rollback to my earlier snapshot (or downgrade zfs back to 2.1.4) and regenerate my boot image with mkinitcpio -P to make my system bootable again.

The linux515-zfs (2.1.5-1) update is causing issues here too.
% uname -r
5.15.49-1-MANJARO
% journalctl -p 3 -b
systemd-modules-load[392]: Failed to insert module 'zfs': Exec format error
kernel: spl: version magic '5.15.50-1-MANJARO SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '5.15.49-1-MANJARO SMP preempt mod_unload '
systemd[1]: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
It’s as though the linux515-zfs (2.1.5-1) package has been built against the Unstable linux515-headers (5.15.50-1)

Yes sir. I just updated to latest “stable” release and system is now dead. Cannot boot, cannot mount pools. Is there a quick solution? I cant even boot a thumb drive and load my pools.
uname -r
5.15.49-1-MANJARO
Thanks for the heads up.
In fairness, looks like the update of zfs from 2.1.4 → 2.1.5 was not part of the bulk Stable Updates, but rather a separate update on its own, built on June 27.
Going to skip updating zfs until I know for sure this has been resolved.
I’m currently rebuilding the ZFS extra modules for testing / stable as we speak as version 2.1.5-1.0.

Not to be pedantic, but wouldn’t that be -2 instead of -1.0? 
Shall install and test on my ZFS storage once the update comes down the pipe. I have more versatility, since I’m not using a ZFS root, but rather ZFS for separate storage (backups of my data).
No, as 2.1.5-2 is in unstable.

ZFS 2.1.5-1.0 is working fine for me. Thanks for the rapid fix!

Qbittorrent won’t start.
Here’s what helped me.
Remove qBittorrent.conf from ~/.config/qBittorrent to some temp folder.
Run qBittorrent. It should start as if it was just installed.
Quit qBittorrent and open new (default) ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf in your text editor.
From GUI section copy “Qt6\TransferList\HeaderState” parameter (long bite string) and paste it in your old qBittorrent.conf file.
Replace new config with old one and run qBittorrent. Now all you should do is to adjust some headers.

On Cinnamon
The keyboard applet on the status bar makes the whole right part of the bar grow and overflow off the screen whenever I change keyboard layouts.
Removing the applet and adding it back again seems to fix the issue.
Update: It broke again after restarting 
I know it’s an applet so I’ll have to wait for an update on it.
Another issue on Cinnamon.
My setup:
- On a laptop
- External monitor plugged in and setup as the primary display
- Second status bar (panel) on the secondary display (the laptop monitor)
The issue: Unplugging the external monitor will not display the main status bar on the laptop monitor, the second status bar will be there instead. Logging out and back in again solves the issue.
After this update I had serious issues with akonadi crashing. I could not resolved the problem with the steps mention in the description.
This is what it worked for me:
- mv ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data_bk
- mkdir ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data
- akonadictl start
