Because for this big update you need to update it on a special way, don’t use pamac GUI, i hope you have a timeshift snapshot before you updated to rollback your system and follow this steps:
1.Fresh start
2.Log out
3.crtl+alt+f3 to open TTY
4.sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack
5.sudo systemctl stop sddm
6.sudo pacman -Syu
and spammed Y to replace everything
7.reboot
Updated today - no problem, everything is fine, but there is one problem. All audio devices are working correctly, but are not displayed in the volume control widget. Does anyone know how to fix this?
luckily meanwhile there is a workaround, edit your ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf
and change StartUpWindowState=Hidden to StartUpWindowState=Normal
I’m having problems with LibreOffice Writer. It may have something to do with auto save. It freezes, but I can acess the File menu and save. When I minimize and maximize the frozen window, it just shows what was behind the Writer window (e.g. the browser, or the desktop). Then I have to close the window and open it again.
Since no one replied, I just went ahead and did the normal upgrade and then installed the latest kernel after rebooting. The only complication I had was the update simply removed the Nvidia driver instead of upgrading it because it was seen as incompatible. (Running on a laptop with integrated Intel so at least I could get to the desktop). I had to reinstall the hybrid driver through Manjaro Settings to get the Nvidia driver reinstalled
I should have said ‘have an EOL kernel installed.’.
That said I dont know for sure about your situation … I was guessing at the reason for the other user stating ‘could not update because nvidia was incompatible’. This could not occur with supported kernels and nvidia packages … unless there was something very wrong with the mirror maybe?
It works, but KDE6 is very slow at least when using multiple monitors. Menus of all KDE apps, all windows, copy & paste, context menu etc. is delayed. The problem has occurred several times in the past (kwin) development and testing are probably carried out with a single monitor system.
I can tell you about gpodder: it is still incompatible with python 3.12. There is already a test patch, the developer has pushed a new version in arch. I have notified the manjaro Team to fasttrack it to us asap.
Since there is so much trouble, I am considering completely wiping my notebook and reinstalling manjaro. It might be a lot faster than upgrading and fixing issues 1 by 1.
For the people who upgraded to qt6 KDE / Plasma. How did it go? How smooth was the experience and how many manual fixes did you have to do after the update?
