Another issue (since when I migrated from Plasma X11 to Plasma Wayland, earlier this month):

Often, apps will try to launch a link in a web browser, but it will simply not work and nothing will happen. I’ve seen this behavior in Audacity, in some other GUI applications that I don’t remember right now, and now in the Pacnew Checker dialog.

In fact, from the commandline, I get this:

$ xdg-open https://example.com/
qt.qpa.services: Failed to register with host portal QDBusError("org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed", "Could not register app ID: App info not found for 'org.kde.kioclient'")

Potentially related to this, but I haven’t tried any solution yet.

I’m using junction as the default application for handling URLs.

Thank you the update, It went through without any problems and smoothly at my Desktop and other good Notebook .

That’s why I decided to switch my really old other notebook, with its cracked display and thick, round black dot, to the testing branch using remote maintenance via TigerVNC. Even there, everything runs quite well, just very slowly.

Thank you very much and Merry Christmas later on

Greetings

Tony

thank you for the tip, but i just cant make it with yellow background. I will practice.

The following has been suggested:

570xx for Desktops
575xx for Laptops

Whether that extends to hybid/prime, I can’t say.

Same for me on KDE Plasma.

Running Timeshift from the command line using:

$ sudo GTK_THEME=Breeze-Dark timeshift-gtk

fixes the appearance temporarily.

For a permanent fix, copying this config file from user to root seems to do the trick:

# mkdir -p /root/.config/gtk-3.0
# cp /home/user/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini /root/.config/gtk-3.0

Moderator Teo suggested copying the entire gtk-3.0 folder instead, even though the theming issue is fixed by just copying settings.ini.

Dropping this here in case it helps someone…

Virtualbox Users: If afterupgrading to 7.24 you notice your CPU running high despite your VM being idle, check the network settings for your VM. If you are using NAT, switch to bridged mode and Virtualbox’s CPU use will return to a more reasonable level.

This per: High CPU usage with VirtualBox 7.2.4-1 / Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues / Arch Linux Forums

I was quite curious as to why wine seemingly lost about 1GB of space necessary, turns out they started stripping out debug symbols into a -debug package.

extra/wine   10.20-1   10.20-2   -1031.89 MiB   56.25 MiB

Otherwise seems to be a smooth update.

After updating, I’m encountering issues regarding screen dimming on KDE Plasma (not sure if that was triggered by this update or one of the others of 12/2025, though).

When the system enters standby/sleep or hibernation while the screen is dimmed, it will not get undimmed when resuming. It would seem only logging out and logging back in undims the screen.

To reproduce, apply these settings:
System Settings → Power Management → Display and Brightness → Dim automatically: 1 minute
System Settings → Power Management → Suspend Session → When inactive: Sleep After 2 minutes

Anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone know a way to undim the screen manually as a workaround?

soundofthunder · 24 December 2025 12:24

You could likely try adding:

to the timeshift-gtk desktop launcher, either via the main menu, or by editing the .desktop file directly.

I’m using an Nvidia Pascal-based GPU, and I had issues with the nvidia-open driver—it didn’t work properly and didn’t even detect my dedicated GPU.

I tried installing an older Nvidia driver through the Manjaro Settings Manager, but that didn’t solve the problem. Following Arch recommendations, I uninstalled all existing Nvidia packages and then installed the nvidia-dkms driver along with the necessary kernel headers. Now everything is working correctly.

My concern now is about future updates. Will I have to uninstall the DKMS driver before every system update and reinstall it afterward? Or is there a more sustainable solution for keeping the Nvidia driver working smoothly with kernel updates?

I’ll be damned, now it works, and even when I start it from the Favorites.

I had already done that — the entire folder, that is — but it wasn’t until @D.Dave’s advice that I got my theme back.

Hey all,

Testing on a test rig…before the grand show.

Trying to remove the foreings with

[CODE] sudo pamac remove $(pamac list –foreign)[/CODE]

I get:

[QUOTE] Error: target not found: 2.4.0-1[/QUOTE]

This is the version in the list of foreigns…anything I missed?

Thanks

Melissa

Mirdarthos · 25 December 2025 09:53

You should know by now not to use sudo with pamac.

And you should do it with the --quiet argument when listing foreign packages:

pamac remove $(pamac list –foreign --quiet)

ButterflyMelissa · 25 December 2025 10:06

Ow, forgot….sorry…

magus · 25 December 2025 17:10

In short with nvidia-dkms, yes it’s gonna pull the 590 when it lands on stable branch (currently already on unstable branch)

Disclaimer before switching to Nvidia dkms variant: Make sure you install kernel headers first, before installing any dkms package, since nvidia dkms needs kernel-headers in order for it to successfully build against your currently installed kernels. So lets say if you’re on kernel 6.12 then install linux612-headers, or if you’re on kernel 6.18 then install linux618-headers, and so on… if you have multiple kernels then install all headers accordingly for kernels you have.

The best workaround I could do for myself in order not to “brick” my rig when an upgrade comes in, was to remove all the nvidia stuffs currently installed, then I manually installed nvidia-570xx-dkms (575xx wasn’t working on my end idk why, but u can try 575xx if u want).

This way I fixated myself to version 570xx, so it will never transition neither to 580xx nor 590xx or putting it simple (>570xx) in general, when the nvidia-dkms gets updated - this matters because nvidia-dkms is a rolling package (which users with Maxwell-, Pascal-, or older-generation GPUs want to avoid upgrading past 580xx).

The reason why I did this way, is because 580xx-dkms is not yet in Manjaro’s repo, but when ( if ) it arrives, then I can still safely manually install 580xx, and then be forever (until hardware dies) on 580xx.
