[Testing Update] 2024-10-02 - Kernels, KDE Frameworks, Pacman 7.0, VirtualBox 7.1.2, Firefox

I have issue since the last update I guess.
mpv and nextcloud-client require libjxl.so.0.11.
Installing libjxl from unstable resolve the issue.

Something is wrong with your version of pamac (as philm mentioned).
Try updating with downgrades enabled. It should work.

sudo pacman -Syyuu

All passwords stored by Chromium dropped with the upgrade.
It is the same behaviour as I experienced earlier in May
Initially I was successfull using the work-around to make Chromium use gnome-libsecret as PW backend, i.e. put “–password-store=gnome-libsecret” into ~/.config/chromium-flags.conf . I can still see the Chromium passwords in GNOME’s password manager in the Default Keyring, but they are unavailable now in Chromium.

PhilM did not mention pamac

pacman 7.0.0.r3.g7736133-2.0 provides libalpm.so=15-64
libpamac 11.6.4+2+g1421283-4 depends on libalpm.so=15

OP probably missed libpamac update, hence suggestion to check mirrors are up to date

libpamac is literally pamac. I am not mentioning the specific package to keep things simple.

The other suggestion would be to uninstall all the pamac packages > update the system > reinstall pamac again. Issue resolved :+1:

$ pamac info pamac-cli
Name                  : pamac-cli
Version               : 11.6.0-5
Description           : A CLI Package Manager based on libalpm with AUR support

Thanks a lot. That worked. I tried to accomplish that using sudo pacman -Syuu. But I guess that was a wrong command to use.

Several of my Gnome Extensions broke. Anyone else with the same issues?

Thanks.

you have a list of those?

Custom accent colors, gsconnect, dash to panel, gamemode shell extension, gtk4 desktop icons ng.
These extensions seem to be incompatible with this gnome version.

Some system extensions report being incompatible with the current gnomeshell and are disabled on my system:

Custom Accent Colors
Forge
Night Theme Switcher

@Hanzel @A4orce84 @Johanides can you check in /var/log/pacman.log which gnome packages got updated? Since we didn’t update extensions with this update similar to unstable branch, some might need a rebuild to work. Still have to figure out why they claim not to support gnome-shell with this update.

Thx @Hanzel. Seems I missed that I synced the wrong date from ArchLinux Archive. You have two options: a) downgrade some packages via sudo pacman -Syyuu b) switch to unstable branch and complete the update.

I’ve not updated yet but have some of those extensions. So are my 2 options wait for you to push the updates to testing/ switch to unstable?

Syncing with downgrade enabled to the current testing branch successful. No more exclamation marks in the extensions window.

Some errors from gdm & dunst in the journal after rebooting, nothing breaking.

Well, you can check if the mirror you are using is synced. Else wait. So far it should work. I’m currently building some review ISOs to double-check on my end.

is now in Settings/appearance (replacement!!)
Hint: in Gnome 47 some extension can be re-enabled by editing metadata.json adding “47”

I had the same problem. The reason was that for some reason a lot of Gnome 47 packages got installed during the upgrade. I ran “sudo pacman -Syuu”, which removed the Gnome 47 packages. Now all the extensions work!

Same issue with GNOME 46/47 and broken mutter-x11-scaling

How do I downgrade everything?

I tried:

$ sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch stable
...
$ sudo pacman -Syuu

but this only downgraded a few unrelated files

warning: glib2: downgrading from version 2.82.0-1 to version 2.80.5-1
warning: glib2-devel: downgrading from version 2.82.0-1 to version 2.80.5-1
warning: gnupg: downgrading from version 2.4.5-5 to version 2.4.5-4

GNOME is still version 47 and now my NVIDIA driver is broken too.
