I have a vague idea that this might be related to the problems I’ve found with SDDM 0.20.
You could try downgrading it to 0.19 and seeing if that helps. If not,you can just go back to 0.20.

Not a real problem but the UI for entering the LUKS password for my encrypted /home partition changed after the update. Caused me a 3 hour brain fart where I couldn’t think of the right password! Mostly me being dim.
This is on my Thinkpad T460. Previously the password prompt appeared underneath the big red Lenovo decal, in the lower middle of the screen. Now it comes up in the screens of boot messages, as though quiet boot is turned off. I just checked and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and it still lists ‘quiet’.
Odd that it doesn’t seem to quiet boot. About to try another reboot…
EDIT: Seems to be a permanent change - or is happening because fsck is trying to run, which rings some bells.
After upgrading to 2023-09-18, I had a problem with Openfortigui, or any software using PPP to connect to Fortinet VPNSSL (probably others VPN but I can not say). The error message is “Peer refused to agree to his IP address”.
So the solution is to rollback ppp and networkmanager-pptp :
downgrade 'ppp=2.4.9-3' 'networkmanager-pptp=1.2.12-1'

Oh wow. This update finally fixed my Ethernet connection icon in xfce (previously was wireless icon for some reason)! 
Ran pacman -Syyu. The result

systemd: /usr/share/factory/etc/vconsole.conf exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Sure, the file exists:
# pacman -F /usr/share/factory/etc/vconsole.conf
usr/share/factory/etc/vconsole.conf is owned by core/filesystem 2023.03.21-1
I am a bit afraid to experiment with removing core packages. What should I do?
Everything smooth so far.
There was no bashrc pacnew file for me apparently although I did put some alias in there (.bashrc) . I overwrite the shells one, ty for the notice. Is a reboot recommended after pacdiff -s btw? Irebooted after updaten, THEN did pacdiff -s…
On my laptop I’m running the r8168 driver above. Is it fixed in the repo already or would I still have to remove it manually? (Problem with 6.5 kernel and r8168 module - #5 by mithrial)
Brute-force fix — use at your own peril… 
sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite='/usr/share/factory/etc/vconsole.conf'
If you have other update issues beside that, open a new thread.
~/.bashrc is a file in your $HOME, and an update will never touch that. The only changes are outside of your $HOME — in this case, in /etc.
If your machine is less than 5 years old, then it’s better to remove r8168 and use the in-kernel r8169 driver.

Same problem, had to remove r8168 module in order to get wired ethernet back up. My ethernet is RTL8125 according to lspci. (Asus TUF B550m-wifi motherboard)
My VPN service also stopped working with wireguard protocol, DNS seems broken when I use it so I’ve switched back to OpenVPN protocol for the time being, not sure if that’s related or not, just thought I’d mention.

Thank you. It’s indeed a 2012 machine and the update went fine while I’m now running this older version still.
4 posts were split to a new topic: Login password no longer works in main account - does work in new account
External audio card started crackling on starting and stopping audio play after update. Occasionally after suspend and resume plasmashell’s toolbar will not work, and any attempt to click on it will cause a kernel panic. Internal speakers crackle and immediately black screen upon trying to play any audio, and only a hard reset works. Also getting some cannot release mutex type errors. My laptop is an XPS 9700 re-outfitted with a 9710 core, so it may just be some kind of hardware issue.
Anyone has issue booting after upgrade. I have btrfs systemdboot manjaro setup with luksencryption. I cant replicate what caused the issue but after update its failing. Timeshift backup restore got my system up but it took 3 backups before upgrade and first backup restore worked so not sure which package update is causing issue. dmesg and journalctl doesnt list much. Anyway to troubleshoot just package update end issue
If my theory holds true for your issue, it’s not the update itself but a bonked up btrfs filesystem.
I had this: Repaired btrfs system m2 disk, but there is something wrong with the subvolumes or the system itself
If you have nothing to backup from them, delete the latest snapshots back to the one that was working. Then redo the update and try to repair…? I did repair my btrfs. However you might want to consult #btrfs on https://web.libera.chat/ then iff yours is broken, or just to find out if.
What was causing this for me maybe was I had hourly snapshots on and then 1 or more bugged it.

Can this be repaired on boot fail and when I am in tty screen? btrfs command to be used to repair it?
I’d use a live system from USB that you’ll boot.
There are several commands that fix different btrfs issues. Please contact the live chat I linked to.

Intel AX210 on Intel 11th gen Framework 13 seems to be good and truly borked with linux65 (seemingly continuous driver faults in the output during boot) with nm-applet seeing no wireless devices in plasma.
Linux64 is just dandy oth.
Unfortunately have no time to debug this rn
The Mirror-Check service shows:

Is it true that it was last updated at 2023-09-19 11:05, several days ago??

I need to disable power saving on my AX210 card, but that’s all. After that, it works good to the max.
sadly 6.5 kernel is not working well after the update with my 5700 radeon. Sometimes if monitor is turned off and system goes to sleep, it appears frozen on resume with primary monitor not turning on, and secondary monitor is frozen. After switching to VT nothing seems to happen at first, but repeated trying eventually gets it to unfreeze. DMESG is full with logs like this:
kernel: amdgpu 0000:2f:00.0: amdgpu: SMU: I’m not done with your previous command: SMN_C2PMSG_66:0x0000001C SMN_C2PMSG_82:0x00020064
