I am encountering problems with ffmpeg not working properly on some computers.
Specifically, ffmpeg will not capture audio, and mpv drops extremely or not play at all.

Looking at the journal, it seems that ffmpeg is causing a segfault in libc.so.6.

Plasma seems to be better than the last two updates. But I’ll keep monitoing for kwin_wayland memory leak, as it was intermittent. Overall RAM usage drops a couple of GiBs. If it doesn’t happen within 3 days, consider it solved.

Animations are still stuck at 60fps, unfortunately.

EDIT:
The memory leak is still here somewhere, sigh…

No issues, only small thing is/was GRUB showing the splash screen again even though I set the timeout to -1. Ran a update-grub so we’ll see if that fixes it next time I reboot.

Edit: That did indeed fix it

A post was split to a new topic: Why is there a mess of 2 different types of icons in dolphin?

Which is still twice as fast as what the human eye can discern. :wink:

I just updated, using pamac CLI instead of GUI that used to crash since several updates. But same result : CLI exited a bit too quickly for my taste. I had to look in Task Manager and wait for pamac-daemon to disappear.

I will soon reboot to check how the update went.
[Edit] Reboot is OK :grinning:

When using pamac update without AUR, you can imho safely use pacman -Syu instead. Does the same and is more reliable.

i had ran lsblk -o parttypename,mountpoint | grep -e 'EFI' and the other partition appeared as a efi system mount point at /run/mount/root

54

I know pacman is the recommended way but I wanted to “test” pamac in CLI to see whether it would crash as the Gui does. :rofl:
For AUR, I never update AUR packages during a Manjaro update, and in fact, as long as an AUR package runs properly, I never update it !

55

That was Pamac version 11.7.2-3.
It has been updated to 11.7.3-0 just today.

56

Seems that pamac 11.7.2-3 don’t want to be upgraded.

Erreur: échec de récupération du fichier « pamac-gtk-11.7.3-0-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst » depuis manjaro.ynh.ovh : The requested URL returned error: 404

Any idea to solve this?
For now trying to upade through pacman:
sudo pacman -Syyu

Did the 2025-05-04 update from a tty after logging out as I usually do. No indications of problems.

After the update, on 3 machines running KDE, opening Konsole hangs after ruuning my custom actions in ~/.zshrc. On another machine, a MacBook Pro running XFCE, no terminal hanging problems.

  • Not a Konsole problem, behavior is identical in ghostty.

  • Commented out my custom actions in ~/.zshrc, no change in behavior.

  • In the ~/.zshrc file, commenting out the script directly under the ‘# Use manjaro zsh prompt’ resolves the hang but of course, the prompt is ugly.

  • In the /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt file, commenting out the ‘source /usr/share/zsh/p10k.zsh’ line in the final else block of the file also resolves the hang and though the prompt is not quite as ugly, it still doesn’t look look right.

  • I’ve verified that the /usr/share/zsh/p10k.zsh file on the machines match the file in the repo

  • Tried deleting ~/.zhistory file, it gets re-created but no change in behavior.

  • Currently going through the 1700+ lines in /usr/share/zsh/p10k.zsh to see if I can isolate the problem.

Anyone else seeing this?

According to other threads about this issue — you are not the only one — It appears to be related to nordvpn.

Run a search for anything related to nordvpn inside the editor, and comment out those lines.

Confirmed. I did a systemctl stop and systemctl disable on nordvpnd and the prompt returned to normal.

Per the p10k issue the latest version update to nordvpn is the problem. From my experience that happens a lot.

Thanks.

Not really, you can see the difference on a smartphone with a 120hz screen, when you switch the screen to 60hz.

Since update, Dolphin freezes when selecting 3MF Files. Can reproduce this on all 3 machines with Manjaro KDE.

I made a bug report on kde.org.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503803
Dont know if its the right place to report that bug.
The 3MF File is also attached to the bug report, so you can test it by yourself.

Please give me some feedback, do you have the same problem with 3MF files? What can I do, to eliminate this bug, its really annoying.

Hi,

Did you try to find a solution on KDE discuss ?

Edit : No issue with your file, (I selected it to create an archive), but a lot of activity with the cooling fan computer… no more cooling fan activity when your file is no more visible with dolphin, very strange :-/ I mean, your 3mf file is present in the download folder, fan cooling activity when I am in the download folder with your 3mf file, no more fan cooling activity when I am in an other folder with dolphin…

Some humans, you mean? Mine can discern up to 120fps, unfortunately. So 60fps is not that smooth to me. It’s both blessing and curse at the same time.

For the record, we’re talking about frames per second, which is not the same thing as refresh rate. Many people confuse the two. :wink:

Did the full update using pamac, with no crash.

However, I have the parallel downloads setting in pamac turned down to 1. When I first started using Manjaro, I would have trouble with big updates, until I found that turning that setting all the way down fixed the problem for me. No problems since.
