You don’t eventually have a built in intel graphic card from before 2011?
Yes, that would be one of those evolutionary changes warranting the move to 6.18.

No, no Intel, I’ve got a built in AMD and a NVIDIA graphic card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU106M [GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile] (rev a1)
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Renoir [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series] (rev c6)
Hey sorry to say i have problems again, this time with the Computer running the Projector in the living room, i started noticing these wierd tears in text while using the Vivaldi browser.
didnt think much of it as we mostly used it for streaming and youtube, as the movies played fine with subtitles it was not a big deal. but started twitch and chat looked like this. It never became readable. i though it was a browser issue as firefox works fine, but i am also now seeing the issue in steam. but all other manjaro UI is perfectly fine. it is just Steam and Vivaldi that has trouple with displaying text.
the computer is a Old HP office pc with a integrated 2gen gpu and runs wayland now if that helps.
if any one has some advice i would greatly appreciated as i am a little stumped with this one.
It appears to be a problem with mesa on older Intel processors.

As Aragorn is pointing out, it seems to be a problem with he mesa package. The updated version of the package that fixes this issue is in unstable branch now. You can give it a try:
sudo pacman -U https://mirrors2.manjaro.org/unstable/extra/x86_64/mesa-1:26.1.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
I think it should resolve your problem. If, for some reason, it gives you any other problem, you can go back with:
sudo pacman -Suu
I don’t have the problem, but I have installed the new package just to try it, and at least I don’t notice any side effects.
@frossett130: Even if your problem seems to be different, you can also try the new package to see if it solves anything.

A post was split to a new topic: [404] not found error for package changes in stable update 2026-05-27
I was too brave and tried again pamac on the command line. It crashed after 3 minutes while downloading. Nevertheless, the update (not only this, but the last three ones) continued in the background. The final entry in pacman.log was “running ‘xorg-mkfontscale.hook’”, the same final entry as at my last crashing pamac update in February.
No issues after rebooting. Anyhow, next time I will use pacman instead.

It’s what I always recommend, followed by an AUR helper if needed.

Isn’t that output wrong?
What about this command?
sudo sh -c "printf 'install rds /bin/false\ninstall rds_tcp /bin/false\n' > /etc/modprobe.d/pintheft.conf"
quote from discobot edited to show full command sequence
Those two are exactly the same as result. The second starts a new shell and hence the quotation syntax difference.
For the first to actually work one has to be root so the very first thing will be sudo su - And from the root shell rmmod and printf
The second is more user friendly as it all goes on one line.
p.s. i corrected it a bit in the wiki post now

So, if I understand correctly (notice: I had no problem), if I have installed linux-firmware-meta but not linux-firmware, the best option for the future is to remove the ...-meta own and install the plain one?
And while at it, is there some tool/utility that can analyze my system and suggest which firmware package I should install?
Thanks!
BTW, just for the record: this update solved Log spammed by wifi messages after update to kernel 6.12 (probably some wifi/firmware update), at least with kernel 6.18.
Yes. There is no meta anymore. It got replaced. You would have been prompted for the replacement on update.
We had discussed it before, here it is
Generally speaking, if unsure, leave it. Especially since some companies merged and firmware for one brand can land under oder package name.
You probably can only safely remove the big antagonists, i.e. if you have intel remove amd and vice versa. But the smaller players in the networking area are a mess so you have to be sure what you’re doing. There is no ready tool for it.
