It’s a library that supports the exporting of a gtk2 application’s menu over dbus, so that it can be shown in different parts of the desktop — e.g. a global menu widget. However, given that gtk2 itself was dropped from the repos and is now in the AUR only, you probably don’t need it. Nothing in Manjaro proper requires gtk2 anymore.
Thank you. I will remove it and see if I discover any problems.

This is somewhat confusing now. Does it mean that the current version of the 580 has a regression - in which case it really should not have been pushed to stable - or is it a comment on the 580 drivers in general?
Both 570 and 580 have been stable on 4070/X, while the 575 would randomly cause kernel panics.
I’ve held back the packages related to the driver update for now, rest of it works as it should.
Have you looked at syncthing? Updates dont affect it. I use it to sync between PCs and a Raspi.

Evening, i am little bit exhausted first the X11 deprecation over the weekend and now this broken driver being pushed breaking my system 2 day in a row xD
whould be nice with a warning in the Pacman for the future untill then i will just check here before updating.
I am not a expert in Manjaro and would like some assistance with removing that faulty Nvidia driver from my system 580 has completly slowed down my old 1070 card to a point of inusability. please help. i have tried through mhwd and the associated UI and nothing works

Once again, another smooth update, despite having missed the last release.
Also noticed LUKS decryption speed is significantly faster now!
Just one issue which may need to be moved to a separate topic. Running sudo pacman -Syu gets a message that the local btrfsmaintenance is newer than the repo package:

there is nothing to do
I tried reinstalling it but keep getting this corruption error:

I cleaned my local caches with sudo pacman -Scc and yet still have the same issue.
Not sure this could have something to do with it, but I had this (benign) error while upgrading to this release:

Flawless update on a Thinkpad L14 Gen 2 (AMD) with KDE. The desktops will have to wait until the weekend, but I think I will not update the one with a 1060 GTX until the situation has calmed down. It seems to work with the 2025-12-08 update NVIDIA driver, but I do not want to push my luck.
This is a small data consistency issue with the boxit-update-2025-12-15.txt file.
In this Stable Update topic, the link above the survey points to the current List of Updates, #1172. These sniippets usually begin with the line:

Hi philm. When I try to switch to 570xx I get this error:

To be clear, I haven’t had any problems with version 580xx so far, but given the number of negative reports about this version, I’d like to go back to 575xx.

Just finished the upgrade without issue. I noticed that the CPU krells on gkrellm have changed the way they display cpu usage. Does anyone know why? Please note, this is not a complaint, but I actually like the way it’s working now. I noticed the difference when running boinc, so perhaps it’s boinc that changed the way it’s using the cpus?
gkrellm was recently removed from the repos as it uses GTK2, which is no longer supported by Manjaro/Arch: Branch compare for Manjaro - gkrellm
It is now an AUR package:

Ah, then I think I’m moving to conky. Thanks for the info!

I also got:
warning: btrfsmaintenance: local (1:0.5.2-1) is newer than extra (0.5.2-2)
I resolved it by:
sudo pacman -Syyuu btrfsmaintenance
Today I installed the latest update and, just like the previous ones, everything went perfectly. (Except for the autologin issue, which is easy to fix.)
Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication.

It depends on the card you use. 40xx series seems fine with 580xx series. 575xx might had some regressions as Nvidia changed some for wayland. In general with 590xx series Arch will drop the proprietary modules which will render older cards completely out of support.
One of the reasons Linux is recommended to run fine on older hardware but some companies might only focus on newer hardware.
For Debian you can even now stick certain versions of a driver to avoid issues

WMware Workstation dissapears the moment I focus on another window. So I click the icon again and it reapears like it never closed o dissapeared.
The rest of the programs seem to be running ok.
The links @philm gave were for the latest pre-release ISOs – the official released ISOs via the Download page are still from 13 October 2025 (as I write).
I’m guessing these issues were not anticipated. From what I’ve read, I understand that Nvidia’s 580xx series should now be avoided, but I’m sure this wasn’t obvious in initial testing.
@philm has suggested 570xx as an alternative; some have had better success with 575xx – it can vary depending on age and type of hardware.
Installing another driver series should automatically remove the 580xx in the process, barring unexpected complications. The following Wiki article may be helpful:
I’d suggest starting a Support topic in the appropriate category, if you find you need further help with it.
I have an ancient (but still perfectly functional 
) Nvidia GTX970 and I just updated to the latest 580.119.02 driver… so far there seems to be no immediate problems (I will update this if I face any issues in the future)
I guess the GTX970 series might also be stable with the new driver (so far - fingers crossed 
)
Note: I’m still using the 6.12 LTS kernel (will switch to 6.18 in the future when that becomes listed as LTS)
