That also was my issue, no idea why I had one from AUR in the first place. Thanks!

The meld command opens 1st named file tin the left panel and 2nd named file in right panel
To have the `.pacnew* file on the right side similar to your screenshot
meld /etc/makepkg.conf.d/rust.conf /etc/makepkg.conf.d/rust.conf.pacnew
I noticed the downloads section is not updated with the new images. Is this a request to test the images?
Yes, what I meant is that this is the screenshot that pops up automatically when I upgrade.
I think that this is from manjaro-pacnew-checker that I have installed — so I do not control where the files are…
I use a BASH script instead of manjaro-pacnew-checker that opens .conf file on the left and .pacnew file on the right
pacmeld - BASH script to merge .pacnew files in meld · GitHub gist
New ISOs have also not been added to Release Announcement on forum yet
Manjaro 24.1 Xahea released
I open the meld like this, i integrated meld in my system with this (one time only):
/etc/environment and add the following line for permanent usage:
DIFFPROG=/usr/bin/meld
then i use this command for pacnew files check and merging with meld:
pacdiff -s
and i press v, then you see it the same way as in my screenshot.
TBH i dont use the manjaro-pacnew-checker, just the simple pacdiff -s command is enough to see if you have to merge pacnew files… i see the manjaro-pacnew-checker only as a reminder.
I also prefer to make another Timeshift snapshot after the update again.
To save the pacnew (that are created while updating) and the unchanged .conf files.
And if i make a mistake while merging a file, i can easy copy the old .conf back (from my snapshot storage) while using the live environment boot if my system shouldn’t boot anymore (just in case).
This means with pacdiff -s i can do it manually at a time when i want it and NOT right after a update. Because i want to verify first if the update is running flawless on my system and not to make it worse with a merging mistake.
Only save the .conf file, with the little arrow at the conf Window.
The pacnew file is always unused and is only a example how the NEW Settings/adjustments looks like.
(Merging also means, that you have sometimes to skip this default settings from “.pacnew” and only overwrite a view lines of code and let your old settings “.conf” in place. Sometimes your systems needs this individual settings.)
You can save your pacnew file, but it doesn’t matter if you change it or save it… this is all about the .conf files which your system stores its settings.
Yes, you did it right. The 2 lines should be uncommented.

Screenlock, Dim and power down screen on a laptop is inconsistent. Sometimes it works, some times it doesn’t. Many times is Firefox is left open, none of the above occur. I tried changing all of the timers to no avail. Occurs in both X11 and Plasma.
The power profile selector in the battery menu no longer shows up and instead it says that I need to install power-profiles-daemon package that I already have and reinstalling it doesn’t help. Running powerprofilesctl in terminal returns:
Failed to communicate with power-profiles-daemon: g-dbus-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not activate remote peer 'org.freedesktop.UPower.PowerProfiles': activation request failed: unit is masked (3)
Tested on both 6.10 and 6.11 kernels
Try: systemctl unmask power-profiles-daemon.service

Foreign packages can always be found with
pacman -Qm
And orphans with
pacman -Qdt
If for whatever reason you wanted to search for git packages … no reason to pipe to grep…
pacman -Qs git

It was likely a dependency of something else you installed from the AUR. It’s a good idea to always check the AUR package page to see exactly what else is pulled in that might cause a problem later.
Shutdown and Cancel is all that’s really needed.
If I accidentally choose to shutdown (or change my mind), I just click Cancel…
I’m guessing this is by design; but this is Linux, there’s no doubt some way to revert to the previous behaviour. I suggest you open a new support thread if this change is insurmountable.
Cheers.
For me that finds things like audacity, possibly because the description includes digital .
Use pacman -Qs -- -git instead.

It is my understanding that directory traversal permission needs to be extended along the entire path to localrepo.db, including /home/deemon/. Additional references:

So basically the problem is, that it’s under /home folder. Got it working by copying the folder
to /localrepo. (sadly even linking to /localrepo didn’t work, needed to hardcopy it there.)
Yes, workarounds would be one of:
- As you have done, place the local repo in a better location, i.e. with a more conveniently controllable path.
- Bind mount your original directory to a better location.
- I think that being able to use links to bypass restrictions would lead to security issues.
- Disable the new sandbox behavior.
