The killed qBittorrent :frowning:

Try qbittorrent-qt5.

I found a thread that was pointing to a bug in qt6 or something to that effect.

Only for GTK environments then, because I use qBittorrent just fine on Plasma.

Very good, it has been about the same for me. I have hold on all updates for the last month and applied today, on several machines with Manjaro KDE, the two last stable updates (09-12 and 10-05) and it went very well ! I only needed to remove python2 and ceph-libs and reinstall and reconfigure Syncthing and Simplenote with the flatpak versions and few other tweaks. I have followed the precious advices given on this forum and did not encounter any new surprise. Before launching the upgrade process I carefully cleared files and cache with Stacer and Bleachbit and made a Timeshift backup. Thanks a lot guys for your help !

After the update, VLC started showing the “VLC could not identify the audio or video codec” error on all videos and stopped displaying subtitles. When I launch it through the console, I get

Looks like the same error as reported for Arch (I’m not allowed to add links, but the post can be googled by “VLC Unidentified codec error”). There it says that the new libebml is the problem.

Hi
in my opinion, this is an issue

Well, the PKGBUILDs for 5.24 can been found here: Packages / temp / kde-stable · GitLab. If others still need it they can been build via sudo chrootbuild -l plasma after installing manjaro-chrootbuild.

Hi, I’m having quite a big issue,

I rebooted my machine after updating it and it takes at least 15mins to load sddm, and it’s impossible to log in from here. All I can do is log from a tty (which takes a few minutes as well) and running startx does not work either.
How to fix this ?

I got the same error. It was recommended I update mirrors and update, so I ran sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

In doing this, I got the following error:

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Not sure what to do now. Ideas?

MKVToolNix is broken again, it’s been broken about 5 times in the last 2 years.

KDE issue here - anyone getting xdg-desktop-portal-kde dumping its core when kde loads up? I seem to see a couple of mentions on the arch linux forums from half a month ago (which kind of makes sense) but no solution that I can find. Reinstalling it doesn’t fix it. Anyone have any ideas?

indeed the issue is with new libebml, or rather these dependencies of it (vlc, mkvtool*) not being rebuilt and available in stable branch for now. for the time being you can downgrade libebml.

I am seeing that too, but is it actually causing a specific problem for you?

If I check
systemctl --user status plasma-xdg-desktop-portal-kde
I see “Desktop portal registered successfully” about 12 seconds after the core dump, and status is “active (running)”. I haven’t experienced any problems, but I’m not sure that I’m using anything which relies on xdg-desktop-portal-kde.

No, it’s not causing any problems, as far as I can tell. Yeah the service is running. I guess it doesn’t matter if it’s not causing a problem

I did suffer the ceph-lib forever make loop, but many thanks to folks on this forum for making the solution so easy to find - and implement (i.e., uninstalling the ceph-lib legacy code). :+1:

Hi @manyaro01,
I’ve the same matter and it give Me an error message when trying to delete incomplete snapshots:

E: Failed to remove directory
Ret=256

Do You have the same bug?

I hope You take care of You :wink:

strangely, rebooting after applying the update loaded up my BIOS… exited out, got my typical grub boot options, and all seems fine

I also noted the plasma-xdg-desktop-portal-kde crash in the journal, but as the system loaded to desktop fine it was probably an early failure that was recovered from as @Takakage pointed out…

open a terminal and:
sudo timeshift --check
I should fix it

Add/Remove Software didn’t show the stable updates on one of my systems, I was able to update some files using “sudo pacman -Syyu”, but some files didn’t update, like my system still says it’s on Gnome 42.4. I refreshed the databases and the mirrors, made sure there weren’t any .part files under /var/lib/pacman/sync; anything else I should try/check? Thanks!
