I summarized the somewhat unclear situation with polkit and some possible solutions in the second wiki post of the topic.

Clean install with erase disk. Swap with hibernate, root btrfs, both.
The system is bootable, however, an additional request for the password for the swap partition after event openswap.
When I open from the another drive, both root and swap are luks and can be opened using the same password.
I tried explicitly add cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda2 /crypto_keyfile.bin which changes nothing

I’d the polkit problem and tried all the suggested fixes (with reboot between each solution) in the kernel 6.1 but nothing worked. Then installed the 6.12 kernel and tried the sudo chmod 4755 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 fix and it work. Just to tell my experience.

This issue seems to be widespread and within libgvc.so - there are plenty of similar issues reported on the official gnome-shell issue tracker.
8 posts were split to a new topic: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti (Pascal architecture) legacy drivers
The reason for Manjaro Settings Manager not offering the 575xx is a typo in mhwd-db /var/lib/mhwd/db/pci/graphic_drivers/hybrid-intel-nvidia-575xx-prime/MHWDCONFIG:
Line 3: NAME="video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime"
should be
NAME="video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-575xx-prime"
Change that and the 575xx driver is shown:

Update went smoothly on my Dell XPS 15 with a NVIDIA RTX 4060.
The 590 driver runs much better on my system than the 580 did (I had GUI glitches with the 580 driver, like a disappearing task bar, unresponsive GUI after some minutes running programs on the GPU).
Thank you and Happy New Year to the Manjaro Team.

But version 580xxx is installed, as you can see. So to update, will I have to install version 575xx?
What shows pacman -Qs linux61?
If there are packages linux612-nvidia or linux618-nvidia installed, then you have to install Manjaro provided packages linux612-nvidia-575xx, linux618-nvidia-575xx or the AUR package nvidia-580xx-dkms.
If linux612-nvidia or linux618-nvidia are just upgraded, then the Nvidia 590 driver will be installed and after a reboot you can’t access your system as before.

Yes.
- install
linux612-nvidia-575xx - reboot your system and check, if it’s working
- update Manjaro Linux
- reboot your system

Thank you. That was the question I wanted to know, so that the same thing doesn’t happen as in the previous update.

Right, I fixed several profiles now …
I updated on Plasma with nvidia 470 and plasma-x11-session. When I rebooted there were two issues (so far).
First, it did a autologin to wayland. When I went to a different tty and did startx, x11 worked. To make this permanent I probably need to open sddm either via logout or open sddm directly in that tty (will the cmd be `sddm`?)
Second, the wayland session didn’t work: It’s missing the dock and only a subset of hot keys work. It shows the desktop and i can open the settings there via right click.
Will debug this tomorrow hopefully
I do remember needing to set up new panels and re-do some other tweaks/customizations when I first switched to Wayland, but that was more than 2½ years ago; maybe this is still the case?
I didn’t need to do that when switching from X11 to Wayland.. The only thing I needed to do was delete and recreate my custom window rules, because the old ones didn’t work anymore. 
First time posting here. I am a bit confused on how to proceed with the Nvidia issue and I don’t want to mess things up.
I have an older cira 2015 HP laptop Envy 17 with a GM108M [GeForce 940M] (nVidia Corporation) card and HD Graphics 5500 (Intel Corporation). I have been using the video-linux driver (only driver checked in the Hardware Configuration in the Manjaro Setting Manager for both nvidia and intel) . It works fine for me as I am not a gamer and does fine with XFCE with X11.
Below are some CLI info based on reading the forum to describe my setup.

My question is, do I need to install the Nvidia 575xx drivers?
If so, which method, does it matter? Use the pacman commands or the mhwd commands?
Thanks!
If you’re using the machine as you say — i.e. you are not a gamer, and right now you’re using nouveau for the Nvidia GPU — then you don’t need to do anything, as both nouveau and your Intel iris driver are already in the kernel.
