The answer here depends on your DE, but generally, go to the settings look for keyboard settings, and add your keyboard.
If you have a US keyboard, and you want accents, you may need to use the English, but then look for Alt. International. As an example, these are the two options for gnome:
The update broke my laptop, right after the upgrade I rebooted. After reboot, I’m able to login but the screen hangs with the loading bar maybe stopping at around a fifth. I’m able to move the mouse around but that’s it. I had to downgrade to 5.8 and it works fine.
It seems that there’s a deadlock somewhere, as if waiting for a service maybe? I don’t get any apparent error though so it’s perplexing and I’m not able to launch a terminal either.
Thank you! I had to install pamac-gtk-dev instead of pamac-gtk. However, both manjaro-hello and software-center-web-jak depend on pamac-gtk and they do not accept pamac-gtk-dev as a replacement, so I cannot use them at the moment.
I do not really know what does software-center-web-jak do in the first place, so maybe it is not really an issue…
Did sudo systemctl disable org.cups.cupsd.path org.cups.cupsd.service org.cups.cupsd.socket before and sudo systemctl enable cups.path cups.service cups.socket after the update.
But i guess for stable there should be a more convenient way for all the “non-techies”
Just think’n, how does one go about doing that on Stable.
I see there are two packages. I’m assuming most folks on a Stable gtk-based desktop have pamac.gtk installed. Can they exist simultaneously on the same Stable system?
They don’t coexist as they replace each other, on top of that packages like gnome-layout-switcher as they depend on pamac-gtk and don’t accept pamac-gtk-dev. I touched on this here:
To expand, so at least for me, I had to remove pamac-gtk and all the things that depend on it, then install pamac-gtk-dev and reinstall with something like this for manjaro gnome:
yay -S gnome-layout-switcher web-installer-url-handler pamac-gnome-integration-dev --assume-installed pamac-gtk
I imagine you just have to pay a bit of attention to what you are about to remove, then reinstall them back with that flag.
Note: I don’t know if pacman has something like --assume-installed.
Looks like it hide system packages or at least packages without icons,and hide AUR by default,so you have a ‘app store’ look alike pamac,i think this is good for newly people to prevent uninstall system packages.
I am running Manjaro Gnome Testing on 2 Intel + Nvidia Optimus laptops. After the update, optimus-manager broke on both of them and I cannot switch to Nvidia card.
So far I tried reverting to default optimus manager settings and reinstalling gdm-prime with no luck.

I tried reinstalling and removing the config file without success.
On my i7 PC using an NVidia K600 GPU this update made the KDE Application Menu unstable.
It flickers and cannot be clicked on.
I can click my Favourites and so use the computer, but nothing else.
I’m using the 5.9.11 Kernel - tried the LTS 5.4.80 - no different.
I’m using the NVidia 455xx drivers.
Seems like an NVidia/KDE issue - my older laptop with Intel graphics is fine.
