I use pacman-mirrors with -id options because it shows mirrors listed with sync time (same as repo.manjaro.org) instead of just ping time
There are usually 2 global mirrors at the top of the list that seem to resync every 10 minutes
I have a problem with two computers where .profile is not loaded when logging in. The machine that uses manjaro sway can load the variables when setting them in ~/.config/environment.d/*.conf but the one with i3wm doesn’t load either.
EDIT:
The problem seems to be that i am using zsh and that zsh does not load .profile on login. I have solved it by adding
emulate sh -c '. ~/.profile'
to my .zprofile and it seems to work now. I still have the problem that dmenu doesn’t pick up $PATH.
Another option might be to make a link between .profile and .zshrc.
ln ~/.profile ~/.zshrc
Or copy .profile to .zshrc and edit it if necessary.
add this to your .zshrc:
# Source profile
[[ -f .profile ]] && source .profile

I’ve encountered a bug related to the “Do not disturb” mode, and I’m not sure if it’s new with this update. This issue arises specifically after setting “Do not disturb” to automatically disable with a certain condition. Once this condition is met, the system doesn’t still play the sound that usually occurs when adjusting the volume level and when “Do not disturb” is disabled. Fortunately, this issue isn’t major, as manually turning on and turning off “Do Not Disturb” mode restores the volume change sound.
Hi,
Update fine today on stable branch, thanks.

There were kernel updates pushed earlier. It seems quite a few people updated before all the updated packages were pushed. Make sure your mirrors are up to date and check for updates.

Hi,
With all 6.7 kernel versions I get intermittent failure of sound. Some boots it works, some boots it doesn’t. Kernel 6.6 always fine. It’s a Dell Precision 5510 laptop from 2016. When it fails I get this in dmesg:

The intermittent nature meant it took me a while to be sure it was 6.7.
Using 6.6 for now.

The Nvidia und kernel updates went fine. Also decided to Timeshift back to mid of Februray which was my latest snapshot before I had updgraded to the faulty Xz package. And did all updates after that date again - which went fine too 
I however do not remember and can’t find it on the forum what to do with this (at least I can’t comprehend):
[ALPM] warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
filesystem: 750 package: 755
Can someone please tell me if I should change those.

According to @Yochanan you should change it.

Had a flickering issue on my 2nd monitor with kernel 6.8.4−1
Swapping back to the latest LTS fixed it.

Regarding ntfs3 mounting issues on kernel 6.8.
The solution posted in Known Issues, still doesn’t let me mount ntfs partitions.
Kernel 6.6 / 6.7 fstab using Fuse/ntfs-3g:
UUID=B0A0696BA069394C /mnt/storage ntfs-3g noatime,nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,utf8 0 0
Kernel 6.8 fstab tested 2 entries:
1) UUID=B0A0696BA069394C /mnt/storage ntfs3 noatime,nofail,user_id=1000,group_id=1000,allow_other,utf8 0 0
2) UUID=B0A0696BA069394C /mnt/storage ntfs3 noatime,nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,utf8 0 0
Logs:
$ Dmesg | grep ntfs3
[ 46.561385] request_module fs-ntfs3 succeeded, but still no fs?
$ Journalctl
apr 08 13:03:48 Infinity kernel: /dev/sdc1: Can't open blockdev
Manually mounting, disabled ntfs mount entry in fstab, result:
$ sudo mount -t ntfs3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/storage/
mount: /mnt/storage: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs3'.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
After this tried to blacklist ntfs3 via modprobe.d
Ntfs3 module was now not loaded on boot, yet Fuse (ntfs-3g) still failed to mount the ntfs partition:
$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/storage/
fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy
Booting into Kernel 6.6/6.7 the ntfs partition just mounts again using Fuse/ntfs-3g.
Hope this feedback is somewhat useful.
Thats true. But the bug is in the free nouveau driver i want to use. @pheiduck That is what i dont understand, that there should be no bug. Its obvisually that there is a bug in nouveau in combination with sddm-greeter and Nvidia Geforce210. But if they dont want to know it, its ok for me too. And you are right, @soundofthunder, upgrading is the only real way.
At this point in time it would be the best advice. The latest official driver for the GeForce 210 was 340.108 which was released in 2019. So, even the equivilent maintained drivers of that vintage are now too old, I’m guessing. I think the oldest Nvida driver still (barely) supported is 470.
I’m not certain exactly how supportive Nouveau is for that model, but it’s likely the only game in town for that model today. Cheers.

Recent security fixes in Xorg broke Java programs: Bug #2060354 “Segfaults and assertion failures in Xorg's render/...” : Bugs : xorg-server package : Ubuntu
ahhh ok. thx
Are you gonna jump from Gnome 45.4 to Gnome 46? Won’t there be Gnome 45.5? Thank you!
Testing has gnome 46. Since unstable → testing → stable. Expect gnome 46 in stable when there are no issues in testing.
