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
You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install files to site-packages or link to libpython3.11.so.
Print a list of of packages that have files in /usr/lib/python3.11/ :
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.11/
Rebuild them all at once:*
pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.11)
* Note that if any fail to build, youāll have to rebuild whatās remaining one or a few at a time.
Use rebuild-detector to see if anything else needs to be rebuilt:
checkrebuild
Info about AUR packages
AUR (Arch User Repository) packages are neither supported by Arch nor Manjaro. Posts about them in Announcements topics are off-topic and will be flagged, moved or removed without warning.
For help with AUR packages, please create a new topic in AUR and a helpful volunteer may be able to assist you.
issues with auto-mount of ntfs filesystem using Kernel 6.8
The kernel changed default ntfs driver from FUSE one to ntfs3.
These two are not fully compatible, mainly as far as mount options go. If you have custom mount options in the fstab (or any other application, such as VeraCrypt) they need to be changed.
Symptoms:
Mount fails with: Device or resource busy
DMesg reports: Can't open blockdev
Solution:
Migrate your mount options. For me the changes were:
Had to install manually install to see some tricky formats. Both my pc switched to testing on March 16 and laptop updated today has same behavior.

Iām not familiar enough with KDE to know why the proper version wasnāt pulled in as a dependency. Most likely because itās an optional dependency. Keep in mind that all mentioned packages are inherited from Arch.
This Mesa update has a bug that affects gtk4 applications for some hardware, including Nvidia and does not occur in 1:24.0.2-1, which has been a version here on the stable channel. I suspect it started at 24.0.5 onwards, which was a version I used. Does not affect Intel UHD hardware. The problem would be a crash (freezing), disconfiguration of the main menu and disconfiguration of the user interface (UI). I donāt know if the upstream would be aware of this, but it would be interesting if the maintainer who takes care of the code related to the affected hardware was aware of this.
The problem does not occur in Debian, but it occurs in Arch, Fedora and should occur in this version in Manjaro as well. I still want to research if there is a patch for this in Debian that prevents this from happening there.
The first 2 definitely need to go, and if you arent using the AUR, dont need these packages, or have no idea what I am talking about ā¦ then all of them should be removed.
The purpose of checkrebuild is to scan your system for packages that need to be rebuilt.
When system libraries are updated ā¦ certain unsupported, foreign, manually-installed software may need to be compiled again against the new libraries. Such as AUR packages. checkrebuild is telling you which of your packages this applies to.
Welcomes.
I honestly dont remember if pamac will make a clean new build or not.
But theoretically your idea is correct.
If it doesnt work for some reason then clean the build directory:
If anything still requires electron19, youāll want to install electron19-bin (binary package) instead. Building Electron can take hours. It was dropped from the repos to the AUR as nothing requires it and itās EOL (End Of Life).
zoom is a binary package, thereās nothing to rebuild. Itās false positive.
python-manjaro-sdk is not present in the testing branch nor unstable, but only in the stable branch.
As you come from (like me) a stable release and then you switched to testing, this package is still present, just ignore it.
