Manjaro, like many other open-source projects, relies on the generosity of its community through donations and corporate sponsorships to support its growth and development. These donations are essential in covering the various expenses incurred in the operations of the project such as server costs, software development tools, infrastructure expenses, training, flying people to events or conferences and the salaries of key developers. With the help of these donations, Manjaro is able to secure the necessary financial stability that allows the project to continuously improve and remain active. If you love Manjaro, consider to donate!
As you might have seen some of our team were able to attend FOSDEM 2023 and the conference proved to be incredibly productive for us. See our blog post for more.
Finding information easier about Manjaro always has been a topic that needed to be solved. With our new search we have put all Manjaro data accessible in one place and divided by sections so it makes it easier to digest: New Manjaro search engine is available | Blog

pacman-contrib is now split out from pacman. If you have anything installed that depends on pacman-contrib, update with:
sudo pacman -Syu pacman-contrib

Making dbus-broker our default D-Bus daemon
2024-01-09 - Jan Alexander Steffens
We are making dbus-broker our default implementation of D-Bus, for improved performance, reliability and integration with systemd.
For the foreseeable future we will still support the use of dbus-daemon, the previous implementation. Pacman will ask you whether to install dbus-broker-units or dbus-daemon-units. We recommend picking the default.
For a more detailed rationale, please see our RFC 25.
Due to various issues including non working backlights on some machines, the NVIDIA 545 series feature branch drivers have been downgraded to the 535 series production branch drivers.
If you are having no issues with the 545 series, there is nothing to do. If you are, you can downgrade to the 535 series with pamac update --enable-downgrade or sudo pacman -Syuu.
So far we know about these issues the Nvidia 545 driver series has:
Backlight control might not work on certain laptop configurations. Reported also here
If you experience similar or new issues please run sudo usr/bin/nvidia-bug-report.sh and post either in an already given post or create a new one, including your generated nvidia-bug-report.log.gz for Nvidia to fix the issue: Linux - NVIDIA Developer Forums
Changes in JDK / JRE 21 packages may require manual intervention
2023-11-02 - Frederik Schwan
We are introducing a change in JDK/JRE packages of our distro. This is triggered from the way a JRE is build in modern versions of Java (>9). We are introducing this change in Java 21.
To sum it up instead of having JDK and JRE packages coexist in the same system we will be making them conflict. The JDK variant package includes the runtime environment to execute Java applications so if one needs compilation and runtime of Java they need only the JDK package in the future. If, on the other hand, they need just runtime of Java then JRE (or jre-headless) will work.
This will (potentially) require a manual user action during upgrade:
If you have both JDK and JRE installed you can manually install the JDK with pacman -Sy jdk-openjdk && pacman -Su and this removes the JRE related packages.
If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now.
If you only have one of the JDK/JRE/JRE-headless pacman should resolve dependencies normally and no action is needed.
At the moment this is only valid for the upcoming JDK 21 release.
If you had aliases saved in /etc/bash.bashrc, the update clears them with an entirely new /etc/bash.bashrc file.
In case you didn’t already have your aliases saved into a separate file, you’ll find your old one named /etc/bash.bashrc.pacsave. As root or with root privileges, delete the new /etc/bash.bashrc, and rename /etc/bash.bashrc.pacsave to /etc/bash.bashrc.
Then enter source /etc/bash.bashrc as your normal user account, and everything should be as it was. Cheers.
I didn’t have the chance to share my update pains in the last round of testing updates, but I ran into a rather unique issue where binaries involving networking (pacman and NetworkManager included) could not run with an error message similar to this:
libnghttp3.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It turned out that my system was missing the libnghttp3 package, but somehow it was never installed automatically nor did it raise broken dependency errors when I ran the update. To solve this, I had to use the live ISO, then from there I ran manjaro-chroot -a on one terminal to mount the root partition to /mnt/ and pacman --sysroot=/mnt/ -Syy libnghttp3 on another terminal.
That might be true, although the missing library problem showed up after I ran sudo pacman -Syuu as usual (there is an extra u on the command in case of package conflicts). That tells me that there is something that prevented my system to install libnghttp3 automatically.
First version of libnghttp31.1.0-1 was released in Testing update 2024-02-15
Package is required by curl , that is required by pacman and network-manager
so it should have been installed automatically
