Thanks, solved by removing Plymouth.
skype-web-jak stopped working because python-jade-application-kit still contains libraries for python3.11, while the default python is 3.12 now.
Did you follow the linked instructions for updating Python packages? I know I have that āfunā ahead of me when I have time to upgrade.
I just tried to reinstall them, turns out both packages disappeared from the manjaro package repo?

In fact - I am the one to blame for adding this note - not Philip.
Most systems on stable branch will not have the latest linux-firmware (20240409.1addd7dc-1.2) as this was released to the repo after last stable snap in mid March.
There is a couple of threads where older kernels has refused to load compressed firmware modules.
To avoid such issues one may need to ensure consistency as described.

I have the same problem, but plasmashell --replace does not seem to solve the problemā¦
edit:
this solution solved my problem with the application launcher, the taskbar displays the active windows and the sound panel works again.

Thanks for the tip. I had the same issue on one of the three systems that I updated. After executing the command and rebooting the system, the launcher is now populated. For some reason, the search does not work properly, i.e. a couple of applications (e.g. Firefox) cannot be found when I start typing. But I am still happy as the majority of apps are searchable.

After the update pipewire no longer works for me, no audio device can be found. As a workaround I had to get back to pulseaudio packages

EDIT: In my case the problem was casued by an outdated config for wireplumber in my ~/.config/wireplumber directory

The update broke the game Squad on Steam for me. Launching the game fails with a āfailed to load the anti-cheat moduleā message.
Other Steam games not dependent on Easy Anti-Cheat work fine. If I Timeshift back to before the update Squad works again.
Just thought that I would post that I am still running kernel 5.15 and upgrade seems to have gone OK. linux-firmware is 20240409.1addd7dc-1.1 (not -1.2). Running XFCE.

For those who updated plasma and didnāt read the post, the solution that worked for me was to restore the theming as said, and remove al orphan packages, there was a lot of qt5 and others related to plasma 5, reboot and the icons and menu were back.

The XFCE upgrade worked well, but I canāt upgrade my KDE systems ā¦it makes them unusable.
XFCE updated fine, followed upgrade to Python 3.12, which is good since I messed up the proper maintenance of python packages for 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and now have those directories with packages that I donāt know how to deal with.
So far no issues, and Linux 6.9 seems to be stable and isnāt causing the high CPU temps like in 6.7
I confirm that plasma-firewall thinks ufw is disabled although I verified it is enabled using systemctl status ufw.
When I try to āenableā the firewall using plasma-firewall in the System Settings GUI I get an error:
Error enabling firewall: An error occurred in command 'setStatus':
How to fix `plasma-firewall` error in System Settings GUI when running `ufw`
Open /usr/lib/kde_ufw_plugin_helper.py and change the first line from #!/usr/bin/python3.11 to #!/usr/bin/python3.12. This fixed the issue for me immediately and makes sense since Manjaro is currently on Python 3.12.
