I’m running a relatively fresh install of Manjaro XFCE (stable branch) from earlier in March. All updates installed as they came in, and no AUR enabled. Running kernel 6.2.8-1.

I made a post about it in the Manjaro support forum before I found this page.

Error while configuring manjaro-keyring, plus another related problem

Hello Folks, New Manjaro user here. Though experienced on Linux for almost twenty years now. Just hopped over from Linuxmint recently that I used for probably the last fifteen years. This is a lovely Linux distribution with much more recent kernels and software. It’s a big difference from what I am used to with Linuxmint, though nice to see hardware working better with newer kernels. I’m still getting used to some of the configuration and terminal command differences, but totally capable of lea…

So far everything seems to run normally. I’ve opted not to try any fixes until I see if these error messages come up again.

I did though get caught by the “nvidia-settings” change of it not being installed by default in the updates. Installing it manually through Pamac caused no errors. Though this seems like poor planning in development. I do agree with Philm’s post in the link for that. This problem will confuse much newer users. It even took me a little to figure out since I’m new to the Manjaro distribution.
