I use a 1080Ti and haven’t been able to get Kernel 7.0 working, gives no image, tried installing the 580 driver from TTY but it doesn’t exist, it runs fine on 6.18 LTS but I can’t update the system due to the linux70-nvidia-575xx dependency for linux-nvidia-575xx-meta.
Remove the -meta package:
sudo pacman -R linux-nvidia-575xx-meta
And then proceed with your update.

Can we get the testing branch Nvidia drivers? They’re consistent between kernel versions.
Earlier I reported that Cinnamon DE is broken with these updates, and I suspect it has something to do with it being unable to run Xorg correctly, as I’m able to at least get basic things working again if I choose the Cinnamon experimental Wayland support when logging in via GDM.
Now that I’ve spent more time with this workaround, it’s not really viable for me. Various things are broken - for example locking the screen no longer works, and for some reason drag and drop within Mozilla Thunderbird isn’t working (and yes I’m running it with the MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 env var). guake isn’t working either, though that may require a config/env workaround too. The bottom line is that Cinnamon isn’t fully usable with Wayland, and I could use some help trying to sort out what changed to mess up its Xorg environment.

Yes, It’s solved, Thanks.

KDE, Wayland, AMD GPU.
konsolebecomes increasingly laggy as the volume of displayed text grows. If the entire screen is filled with text, it turns into a complete lag-fest.- On the KDE lock screen, the keys used to activate keyboard layouts are, for some reason, inverted: within the main session environment,
CapsLockactivates the first layout, whileShift+CapsLockactivates the second; however, on the lock screen, the key combinations for activating these layouts are swapped.

Hi,
Sorry I didn’t understand your answer and got it wrong.
I’ve answered “s” and the system is now updating.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Antonio

I got a black screen and computer not booting to Desktop Environment (KDE). I think because I’m using a NVIDIA 1060 not supported anymore by 590 drivers.
So I rebooted on a earlier 6.18 kernel.
My drivers are 575.64.05. I understand I should install 580 and give kernel 7 another try.
But my question is how long will Manjaro support my good old NVidia 1060 ?

This behavior is consistent. I’ve turned off steam’s auto start for the moment.
Additionally, this update seems to have broken openrgb.
I’m running unstable/wayland/kernel 7 on an ASRock motherboard and haven’t had any issues with OpenRGB.
Interesting. When I saw your earlier post I was nervous to update but decided to go ahead and take a snapshot with timeshift and give it a try. No problems here. I decided to check which DM I’m using and I’m using LightDM instead of GDM which could be why I wasn’t affected by the update/change.
I only have 1 kernel installed (6.18) and a handful of selected packages (both from offical repo and AUR, no AI stuff).
Of course sometimes I have a little plus or minus of needed disk space after an update, but this is new record.
I think the problem is, by default many firmware files get installed (e.g. NVIDIA), but I don’t have related hardware (I have an AMD card).
I wish there would be official settings to control this, but for now I will try to get rid of them manually. Someone posted a description somewhere here in the forum.

maybe orphaned packages?
You can check for orphaned packages with pacman -Qdtq

pamac-manager shows the dependencies based on the installed packages.
In my case:
- libakonadi is required by akonadi-contacts, itself required by digikam.
- libkcompactdisc is required by audio-cd-kio
What AMD GPU do you have?
Is there some workaround to address this issue?
Thank you! This does work to get me back up and running with Cinnamon and Xorg. For the sake of documenting this for other users, I simply ran the following (do this from a tty terminal if you can’t log in, e.g, Ctrl+Alt+F3):
sudo pacman -S lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
sudo systemctl disable gdm
sudo systemctl enable lightdm
Reboot and you’ll have a very minimal login manager, but you should be able to use Cinnamon with Xorg again.

I have several older machines to update. Is it normal for the webkit2gtk compile to take hours?
A post was split to a new topic: My system can’t start after the 2026-05-02 Stable update
Alien packages should be removed after an update, not before. This is because some system packages may be listed as alien not because they are actually foreign, but because they have been renamed or replaced in the update. Premature removal of those temporarily “alien/foreign” packages before the system update can install their replacements may result in dependency issues.
So, you should update your system packages first (sudo pacman -Syu or pamac update --no-aur), and then check for foreign/alien packages.
libakonadi is now provided by the akonadi package:

There is no audio-cd-kio package in the repos. There is, however, the audiocd-kio package. It does not require libkcompactdisc:
