2024-07-01 - Robin Candau
After upgrading to
openssh-9.8p1, the existing SSH daemon will be unable to accept new connections (see Can't login after openssh 9.8p1-1 upgrade, MUST restart sshd (#5) · Issues · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / openssh · GitLab).
When upgrading remote hosts, please make sure to restart the sshd service usingsystemctl try-restart sshdright after upgrading.We are evaluating the possibility to automatically apply a restart of the sshd service on upgrade in a future release of the openssh-9.8p1 package.

No plasma interface with kernel 6.9 + Nvidia gpu + Wayland
If you encouter a black screen with no inteface after login in, it’s probably a problem with simpledrm loading.
To solve it add nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 to /etc/default/grub
in the line begining with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" .
Verify that you also have nvidia_drm.modeset=1 in the same line.
Then exec sudo update-grub
Also, verify that you have nvidia_drm in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf in the MODULES= or HOOKS= line.
Exemple :
MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)
If it was not present, then run sudo mkinitcpio -P after adding it.
