[Stable Update] 2024-11-30 - Kernels, Plasma, GNOME, COSMIC, LXQT, SYSTEMD

After update and restart i got full brightness with my monitor which give me eye cancer.
After short research i found this new setting in /etc/tlp.conf - TLP user configuration (version 1.7.0) and changed it to AMDGPU_ABM_LEVEL_ON_AC=4 to solve my problem.

Why is this update so huge?
I literally have no space on my root partition to install it

Is there a way to see the entire dependency tree of the installed packages so that I know what I can remove? It would be nice if we donā€™t have to ask about every specific package like v86d to find out that itā€™s not needed anymore

Update went fine with some notes. Update with Pamac CLI gave this conflict;

conflicting dependencies:
- x!ļæ½9t and a
             ļæ½ļæ½Ch0Fļæ½Nq are in conflict

Running update with pacman shows that tlp is the conflict.
Pacman also asked for some replacements;

:: Replace lib32-libva-mesa-driver with multilib/lib32-mesa? [Y/n]
:: Replace lib32-mesa-vdpau with multilib/lib32-mesa? [Y/n]
:: Replace libva-mesa-driver with extra/mesa? [Y/n]
:: Replace mesa-vdpau with extra/mesa? [Y/n]
:: Replace qcoro-qt6 with extra/qcoro? [Y/n]

After uninstalling tlp I ran pamac upgrade again which did not ask to replace, which its not doing when the recommendation is to replace, and update went through without further hiccups.
A quick check and all seems fine after reboot.

itā€™s better to uninstall power-profiles-daemon imo instead of tlp, that thing is next to useless compared to tlp

After the update, any event of moving the Nautilus screen crashes (attach to left corner, example), requiring a restart. Seems something related with NVidia.

Itā€™s possible to downgrade the NVidia version (to before update) and how to do that?

Update: I updated to Kernel 6.12.1-4-MANJARO and NVidia 550.135. Now, some cases work, others donā€™t and everything stops.

I have two issues after the update.

  1. On kernel 6.12, the system (Kde 6, X11, Nvidia 4060 on 535 driver) now canā€™t see the internal laptop screen, only external screen. On 6.11 everything is fine.

  2. [MAJOR] Trackpoint scrolling doesnā€™t work anymore. How do I get it back?

Wayland still unusable with gnome and nvidia, but everything else works fine, thanks for update!

Very sluggish graphics after update on Manjaro Plasma with intel onboard.
Had to roll back because it was unusable.

Had this same problem as @DanFreed and same solution worked.

However, Pamac isnā€™t working properly. After removing tlp I tried updating through the GUI and the window closed while running the update. Opened a new instance of it and it wouldnā€™t update until it closed the previous session that I could no longer access. Restarted my computer and tried to update through GUI again. It asked for password but then closed the password window before I hit enter and started the update. I closed it and began update through CLI. Seems to be no issues as of now but install is still going.

Edit: Everything seems to be working as usual.

Hi @Moilleadoir , in Control Panel > Theme > Settings, if you have this set to let apps decide, then it is the app that is controlling it. I do prefer and use dark mode, but I tend to be on the computer a lot at night or in dark rooms.

Now, QT apps may not conform to the settings in Control Panel, those you have to use QT6 Settings.

To be honest, I am not a fan of forcing the user to use one or the other. Some apps work better in dark mode and other works better in light mode, I like the trend where apps are giving the user the option regardless of the system setting.

In a TTY pamac checkupdates found no updates at first, so I ran sudo pacman -Sy. Then pamac checkupdates found 424 available updates, and the update with pamac upgrade went well.

The mirror I use was updated 5 hours before I ran the above.

Same here.

After updating my Manjaro system, I noticed that the appearance of the network speed widget in the taskbar has changed. Previously, the download and upload rates were displayed in a stacked layout (up and down). However, after the update, the layout has changed to a side-by-side (left and right) display.

I preferred the old stacked layout as it was more compact and easier to read. Is there a way to revert to the previous appearance or customize the layout of the network speed widget?

Which Intel? Wayland?

OK, it is somehow known that Nvidia isnā€™t supporting kernel 6.12 yet. Which would also mean that we might release Manjaro 24.2 with 6.11 kernel series ā€¦ People can voice up in a polite manner so Nvidia might release updated drivers soon: Patch for 565.57.01 + Linux kernel 6.12 - Linux - NVIDIA Developer Forums

No real problems, I donā€™t like it when my kernel changed from LTS to 6.11.10-2 but that is an easy fix. Iā€™ll try it out tho, and see how it goes before I revert back.

Cursor size in GTK 4 apps is now too large on Wayland. Bug comes from GTK 4.16 and affects a cursor if its nominal size is different then image size. My workaround was to change cursor theme for now.

Gnome Calendar in Cinnamon lost connection to my added Google account and complained about it at every boot in notifications. Solved by running gnome-online-accounts-gtk and reconnecting it again as third party access.
