With the current state of the testing branch my external monitor only offers 30Hz instead of 60Hz inside the KDE display settings… Not sure where to start looking :sweat_smile:

  • Monitor connected via usb-c to docking station and then via display port to monitor
  • Worked with previous plasma 6.1.4 state of testing
  • Used the same hw setup before

yesterday I’ve temporarily switched to testing for have a look at plasma 6.1.5 and kernel 6.11

on updating there was a message regarding a .pacsave file

[ALPM] warning: /boot/grub/grub.cfg saved as /boot/grub/grub.cfg.pacsave

when looking in that folder there is not a .pacsave but a grub.cfg.pacnew …
with inside

#
# AN EMPTY FILE NEEDED BY PACMAN
#

if I run

DIFFPROG=meld pacdiff -s

nothing is coming out (meld is not opening). Is it normal or am I the only one?

Just delete it. grub.cfg should not be touched. It’s created by update-grub (aka grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg) in Manjaro.

Do these preview ISOs not include .sig files?

I’ve added a wiki post about a workaround for “KDE Plasma hangs on Shutdown, Restart and Logout” because of the new session saving feature.

There’s also a bug where if we disable session auto login for X11, restart then re-enable it, it doesn’t work anymore. A workaround is to edit the /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf file and replace Session=Plasma (X11) by Session=plasma
I’ve added it to the wiki too.
