Please have a look at:

System Settings → Appearance → Cursors

At the bottom you can adjust the size.

@helpful

At the bottom you can adjust the size.

This isnt changing the size about the gtk cursor, or how should we call this mouse cursor bug?

This menu is for the size from the normal mouse cursor that i always have befor this bug appears.

Edit: I also have to add, that i have a differend mouse size with your fix only on my Laptop,
with my PC i have no differend mouse cursor sizes, both using the same Theme btw.

Lol wow, I thought we were over this ages ago, but apparently the dumb KDE bug ‘rearranging desktop icons after a reboot’ is back. At 1920x1080 and 125% scale, if you use ‘Appearance → Adjust all fonts’ and set it to e.g. 11, and you have desktop icons along the right side of the screen, after a reboot they will be scattered in random order. There has to be a scientific explanation on how do you manage to not have such basic things done right by 2022.

Another one: can’t seem to be able to change font/size in Dolphin, the change just isn’t saved or applied, and it reverts back to Noto Sans 10.

Manjaro Cinnamon here, I’m also having some troubles with Samba shares since last update.
I still can create or delete a file or a directory manually on a Samba share with Nemo as usual, but if I try to sync with FreeFileSync, I’m getting a message “EACCES: Permission denied [open]” for every file or directory trying to be synced by the program, and so nothing is written on the Samba share.
It was working flawlessly before…

New package from about 3 or 4 days ago: linux60-broadcom-wl does not run properly on boot, error mentions 6.0.2-1-MANJARO, I don’t know where it gets that from.

I think the package has a wrong setting. To confirm the issue wasn’t from my fiddling, I created a clean install from Manjaro-xfce minimal iso (on the official download page) and updated then updated kernel to 6.0, then added the package.

There seems to be an issue with libQt6Gui. Several Qt applications crash during startup on my system:

@DenisV

Found a workaround, if anyone else needs it. Edited my ~/.config/monitors.xml to set the primary-monitor and logged out/in to apply the settings.

One question, u need to do this every time u change your primary monitor ???

Because i have the same issue…and i solve it on the gui tool…thanks

[DenisV]

It remembers it for monitors for which I’ve set it. The GUI saves these preferences to the same file so it’s persistent.

Does require a log-out/in to see the changes.

Nvidia 520.56.06 fixes some regressions on laptops and adds new features to the driver

This driver kills the dithering feature, that i use for a long time

I need dithering for my colour banding problems that i have with my Dell Monitor.

Nvidia Dithering mode no longer working after the nvidia 5.20 driver update (from today release)

My Dell Monitor got heavy Colour Gradient problems and i need to fix it with the Dithering Filter on Enable and Temporal Dither. After i downloaded a few packeges (including some nvidia stuff) that showed up and just released today in pamac (stable) the Dithering mode no longer works with them but in the nvidia GUI the effects still showed enabled. What can i do to revert this changes? Do i have to rollback my nvidia driver to fix my problems? If yes, how can i revert it? I never rolled a dr…

Can i upgrade my Kernel without the new nvidia driver?

After this update I faced with long time shutdown.
I use KDE.
does anybody have the same issue?

[farn]

Worked around the issue for now by downgrading Qt packages to 6.3.2. Basically this worked by:

pamac install downgrade
sudo DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 downgrade qt6-5compat qt6-base qt6-declarative qt6-positioning qt6-quick3d qt6-quicktimeline qt6-serialport qt6-shadertools qt6-svg qt6-tools qt6-translations qt6-wayland qt6-webchannel qt6-webengine 

and then chosing version 6.3.2 for all packages.

[thingsiplay]

I had this in the past a few times, where after a major upgrade on my system, a reboot/shutdown would take ages, or even stuck (seemingly). So I sometimes try a few key combinations and presses and it would restart successfully. My suspicion was the Nvidia driver, but that is probably because I hate it. Do you have Nvidia?

[hound]

I press ctrl+alt+del for rebooting when system stucks on shutdown and then after reboot just try again to shutdown. but it’s annoying.
I use amd video

[chickengod]

In my case it takes around 2 mins to shutdown the hdd when initiating a shut down. I’m using XFCE and NVIDIA. Unsure how to fix it.

[andreas85]

Don´t [ CTRL+ALT+DEL ] !

if possible

[deroberts1]

Hmm. Maybe you could use xrandr. Using HDMI here is one example to turn it on.

xrandr --output HDMI-1 --set dithering On

[nikgnomic]

Metapackage manjaro-pulse is to install 3 base packages needed for PulseAudio:
( pulseaudio + pulseaudio-alsa + pulseaudio-bluetooth )
If you skipped updating, or even removed this metapackage, there should be no adverse effect on PulseAudio packages

[Kobold]

And what about the new Kernel?

@Kobold

linux515 5.15.74-3 (5.15.72-1) core

Im worried, that when i upgrade the newest Kernel and after a restart. That its may possible, that my PC wont boot into Linux… because the newest nvidia driver is needed somewhere?

@deroberts1

xrandr --output HDMI-1 --set dithering On

My Monitor is actually working with a Display Port Cable… Do i have to use a HDMI Kabel when i try your command?

[deroberts1]

I think you would use the command

–output eDP1

or

–output eDP1-1

Not sure. The HDMI was just for example purposes.

Your kernel concerns: Do you have another kernel installed to use as a fallback if a newer kernel gave you a black screen? I like to have more than one kernel installed for that reason.
