After updating and booting with Kernel 5.18.10-1, smb-mounts for my Synology NAS I did set up via systemd mounts fail.
Reverting back to Kernel 5.17.15-1 or 5.15.53-1 brings back the mounts.
As I am not a deeply technical user, I kind of struggle to figure out, what happens here … …
Also I wonder why Manjaro reverted zstd compression by default. I noticed that after fixing .pacnew mkinitcpio started to generate gzip compressed images.
Xfce: I have five systems with Manjaro xfce. I updated one, no problems. Moved on to the next one. No problems, EXCEPT, for some reason the update installed “pipewire 1:0.3.54-1”.
None of my systems have pipewire.
I removed it, I just don’t understand why that was installed on one system and not the other.
Oh well, we’ll see what happens with the remaining three systems.
I was on track and currently using my profile by deleting/renaming the prefs.js! Just woke up and will try the suggested solution (high hopes now). Thank you for this in advance.
After today’s update, I encountered a minor issue with the python-docutils package and the Spyder IDE.
Here’s the error message when I tried to start Spyder:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'docutils<0.19,>=0.14' distribution was not found and is required by sphinx
Reverting to python-docutils-1:0.18-1 fixes this compatibility issue
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.builtin.modinfo at /lib/modules/4.19.251-1-MANJARO: No such file or directory

==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build. The image may not be complete.
How can I resolve this? Deinstall kernel 4.19?
Besides, a mkinitcpio.conf has been installed as mkinitcpio.conf.pacnew with the following line: HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck)
My current mkinitcpio.conf has this line: HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap filesystems fsck)
Additionally, the mkinitcpio.conf.pacnew has the following block:
# MODULES_DECOMPRESS
# Decompress kernel modules during initramfs creation.
# Enable to speedup boot process, disable to save RAM
# during early userspace. Switch (yes/no).
#MODULES_DECOMPRESS="yes"
That was not possible for me, because Firefox didn’t run on my profile. I had to edit the file manually like suggested before and now everything is fine and back.
According to mkinitcpio - ArchWiki, keymap is used in HOOKS for vconsole… and from what I can tell about digging into what a “virtual console” is, they are the screens we get when we switch from tty1 to say tty4 (CTRL-ALT-F4)
So I’m confused why keymap is being removed from HOOKS when vconsoles are used pretty frequently.
Seems like I have a problem with pipewire & pulseaudio when updating with the GUI:

Should I choose yes? Or how should I proceed?
I don’t remember when and why I have maybe manually installed pipewire or even „EasyEffects”. Maybe I need to uninstall that again?
I’m using Manjaro KDE
Ok I solved the problem. Seems like I had installed easyeffects in the past (maybe just to test it…I dont know) and this introduced the dependencies mentioned above.
All the options are commented in the file so its not difficult to understand.
I don’t have fsck option because /usr is not in different block so I don’t need it.
After the previous “kde framework” update, sometimes I can’t open zip files with the “karc://” protocol which affects both “dolphin” and “gwenview” . This update has not solved the problem.
You get a .pacnew when a configuration file supplied by a project is different to the one on your system, which unless you have made changes yourself, is the one supplied by the distro at the time of installation. The HOOKS in the .pacnew are suggestions, that’s all.
I got the same messages and now I can’t reboot anymore with all the kernels 5.x. The screen is always showing the Manjaro logo and doesn’t proceed. I didn’t change any settings. What can I do? I can only boot with kernel 4.19, for which ironically(?) the warnings during the update process appeared. This update is dangerous!
You’re best served to stick with 5.15, as it is an LTS kernel, and unless you have a make-or-break reason to use a later kernel, there’s no point in constantly jumping major kernel versions.
For the issue you faced and a few other reasons (such as hampering ZFS performance), I made a conscious decisions to only stick with LTS kernels.
In fact, even when the next LTS kernel lands (5.20? 5.21?), I’m going to stick with 5.15 until it’s clear that the next LTS kernel is without major regressions.
