[Stable Update] 2025-06-23 - Kernels, KDE, NVIDIA, Pamac, Wine, VirtualBox, PipeWire, Qt6

[smeatheringham]

I found that when I applied this update, and also updated my kernel to 6.15.3-1 that my laptop battery was literally draining as I watched it - at least 1%/min with virtually nothing running. Reverting to the kernel that I previously used (6.12.34-1), whilst leaving the update in place, fixed the problem.

After installing and booting into linux615, nfs stopped to work properly. On remote system I’m constantly getting “Stale file handle”. I removed and recreated shares, rebooted both servers - same issue. But with linux612 everything works without any error. Is it known issue with 6.15?

Error: ncdu: signature from "Daurnimator <daurnimator@archlinux.org>" is unknown trust
Error: Failed to commit transaction: invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature):

I got the very same error message, and solved it by refreshing manjaro and arch keyring as mention here:

Error: firefox: signature from "Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <heftig@archlinux.org>" is unknown trust

Do you have any suggestions. EDIT: I am unable to install anything from the Official Repositories. I can install from FlatHub and AUR OK: It looks like it’s my machine, I got my partner to do her updates and all went OK So something must be corrupted locally. Problem Solved: I did the following sudo rm -r /etc/pacman.d/gnupg sudo pacman-key --init sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring sudo pacman-key --populate manjaro sudo pacman -S manjaro-keyring Actu…

move the files to the new folder /usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2

After reading https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/blob/master/ChangeLog.md?ref_type=heads#breaking-changes-2, it was still not clear to me what to do.

By trial and error I found that pacman complains about installing xkeyboard-config if either the old location exists (/usr/share/X11/xkb/) or there are files in the new location (/usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2).

As I have a custom keyboard layout, I moved files to the new location
then used the pacman option --overwrite *xkeyboard-config-2*.
This worked well: after the upgrade, my 10-year-old keyboard files were in the right place, and after reboot my custom layout was active as usual.

@j77h and anyone who may have missed it;

@For Information/reference

Please see the item xkeyboard-config 2.45 issue with symlinks under Known Issues and Workarounds in the current topic.

I have the same update error, and tried to rebuild the gpg keyrings without any luck.

After some googling, and from what i can understand reading Rebuild Todo List Rebuild all packages signed by daurnimator, It appears that the signing key used for ncdu package expired in 01-07-2025, i.e. the time between the last Manjaro update and now.

I’m not sure, but i suspect that our problem will be solved with the next Manjiaro stable update that will include the rebuilt packages.

Normally there should be nothing to do as the archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.timer is enabled by default and refreshes weekly. However one could run the following to do a manual refresh:

sudo archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync

I didn’t miss that post, I quoted it.

After carefully studying all the links in it,
I wasn’t able to figure out exactly what it meant,
so I wrote to let people know that
both the old and the new location must be empty,
unless you want to --overwrite the new location, as I did.

Other methods are mentioned in that post,
but they involve things that I know nothing about.

@Yochanan thank you for the suggestion, i applied it but the error message persists.

For reference, this is what the forced refresh says about the key

I had never had succes with the online refreshing. Why don’t you try the latest Offline packaged keys as per tutorial?
Errors about keys

Pacman troubleshooting

Just initialize, do not refresh.

@PietroC

this is what the forced refresh says about the key

Have you tried refreshing the mirrors?

pamac update --no-aur --force-refresh

[PietroC]

Thank you @Teo i followed the instructions that you pointed out (error about keys section) downloading and installing the packages. But this does not resolve the problem with the expired signature in the ncdu package.

As of now i have tried three solutions:

• delete and clean build of gpg keys from repos using pacman (see the the first suggestion in this thread)
• forced gnupg keys refresh
• delete and clean build of gpg keys from downloaded packages and no forced refresh

At this point i’m fairly confident that the problem lies in the current ncdu package and not in my system.
If that’s the case, i could simply wait for a future correctly signed one, i like ncdu but it is not a deal breaker for me since all the other upgrades had gone smoothly.

@soundofthunder yes, i also made sure that the system clock and hardware clock were updated correctly. I tried to search for any problem in my installation but all seams to be correctly working.
Consider that i never skip any update. This time i waited 10 days instead of the usual 2.

[Yochanan]

Ah… I’m going to have to rebuild all Daurnimator’s packages for the stable branch since his key is expired.

EDIT: Rebuilds incoming; i.e., ncdu 2.8.2-2.0, etc.

[denilsonsa]

Thanks! Installing ncdu works now!
