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: News – Manjaro
Nvidia drivers got downgraded to 550.100, therefore update with sudo pacman -Syuu. If you want to stay on the 555 driver series you may either switch to unstable or install nvidia-dkms via: sudo pacman -U https://mirror.easyname.at/manjaro/pool/overlay/nvidia-dkms-555.58.02-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.

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, you’ll have to rebuild what’s 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.
Linux 6.9 is EOL and will - at some point - be removed from the repo.
Suggestion is to install latest LTS to be sure
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux66

Thanks; I’d already been following the 560 thread but wasn’t aware of the production / feature branch distinction. Does Nvidia promote specific generation releases (eg 550, 555, 560) from feature to production, or are we stuck waiting another month or two for an updated driver (565?) to make its way downstream into stable?
If I had any other brand of GPU I’d definitely consider switching from stable to testing, but Nvidia’s quality control process with these drivers has unfortunately made that too risky for me.
I guess I dont have any issues, but I just noticed that it seems like Plasma crashes/restarts a bit more often than usual lately(quite often right after login it restarts/reinitializes the panels etc).
I just ran pacman -Syu and got a surprisingly big upgrade list. So cool, testing has updated I guess. There was no announcement, but I shrugged and updated anyway (not necessarily a brilliant move, I know).
According to /etc/lsb-release it looks like I’m on unstable which I should not be. According to pacman-mirrors -G I am still on testing. Are the mirrors messed up?
could not satisfy dependencies:
- unable to satisfy dependency 'kdesignerplugin' required by kdelibs4support
EDIT: Refreshed Databases, re-applied update, success. Also, yes, I did notice it is an AUR and, I think you know where I’m going with this —I had no idea what package(s) required it.
Neither package are in the repos any longer. Apparently they were recent dropped to the AUR. Please create a new thread in AUR if you need more assistance.
