Ah ok, I thought I’d help out a bit. Thanks for the info! :slightly_smiling_face:

Excuse me, I don’t get it: pipewire-media-session.service is just a sample session service, isn’t it? Wireplumber is the way as far as I remember.

Wireplumber is providing media-session and the next step of the evolution. However not all applications work great with it yet. Hence the recommendation to use media-session still.

Yes, but an alias needs to be created. See the pipewire-media-session and wireplumber post_upgrade() messages.

Hello,

I*m missing the linux510-r8168 kernel.module for the 5.10.82-kernel. Its also not on the list of the new packages. I need that, maybe others too.

Thanks Girk

Hello.

just lead:

sudo pacman -S linux510-r8168

In the terminal off.

Previous issue in kernel 5.15 has been fixed

Probably no big deal and it will be fixed in future kernel update. It doesn’t seem to break anything.

Happy to report that Brightness Controls for OLED Screens (which wasn’t working on 5.15.4-2) is working on 5.15.5-2

It is showing this error message when updating.

Update went fine.
Just one curious question: Is there some way to prevent pamac from trying to downgrade packages if the version number in the repository is lower than the version number of locally installed package?

Fortunately, sudo pacman -Syyu in the terminal only warns in this situation but does not actually downgrade the packages installed locally.

If I understand what you are asking:
In pamac-preferences-advanced uncheck “Enable Downgrade”.

Do you have by any chance kernel-alive package installed? If so, remove it and reinstall your kernels.

Thanks a lot! Indeed, that setting does the job.

I got a GPGME error today, I searched for some solutions on the forum but none of them work.

It seems to be a issue of pamac

sudo rm -r /var/lib/pacman/sync
sudo pacman -Syyu

OK, no GPGME errors, but I cannot get these updates:

Then

pamac update

GPGME errors again.

Just to make sure everything is up to date, try

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu

Does that run through?
