[Testing Update] 2026-01-01 - Wireplumber, NVIDIA Driver Assistant, ALSA

Hello community, here we have another set of package updates. Manjaro 26.0, code-named ‘Anh-Linh’ is now super close for release. We already made 3 release candidates. Our focus is on Plasma 6.5 and GNOME 49. Both will use Wayland by default, which may change things for older systems out there. Some who still need X11 support may consider our XFCE build.

NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal support

With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older.

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.

Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to a legacy driver to maintain support:

  • Install the official linuxXXX-nvidia-575xx, linuxXXX-nvidia-570xx, or related DKMS packages.
  • Manjaro 25.0 Zetar released
  • Manjaro Summit public Alpha now available
  • As of Linux 5.4.302, the 5.4 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 5.10 LTS (Long Term Support) or 5.15 LTS.
  • As of Linux 6.16.12, the 6.16 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 6.18 stable and/or 6.12 LTS (Long Term Support).
  • As of Linux 6.17.13, the 6.17 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 6.18 stable and/or 6.12 LTS (Long Term Support).
Valkey to replace Redis in the [extra] Repository

2025-04-17 - Andrew Crerar

Valkey, a high-performance key/value datastore, will be replacing redis in the [extra] repository. This change is due to Redis modifying its license from BSD-3-Clause to RSALv2 and SSPLv1 on March 20th, 2024.

Arch Linux Package Maintainers intend to support the availability of the redis package for roughly 14 days from the day of this post, to enable a smooth transition to valkey. After the 14 day transition period has ended, the redis package will be moved to the AUR. Also, from this point forward, the redis package will not receive any additional updates and should be considered deprecated until it is removed.

Users are recommended to begin transitioning their use of Redis to Valkey as soon as possible to avoid possible complications after the 14 day transition window closes.

Finding information easier about Manjaro

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

Notable Package Updates

  • Updates to nvidia-driver-assistant to detect drivers for older cards better
  • ALSA 1.2.15.1
  • Wireplumber 0.5.13
  • Updates to Cinnamon packages

Additional Info

Python 3.13 info

:information_source: You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install files to site-packages or link to libpython3.12.so.

Print a list of of packages that have files in /usr/lib/python3.12/ :

pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12/

Rebuild them all at once:*

pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12)

Use rebuild-detector to see if anything else needs to be rebuilt:

 checkrebuild

* It’s recommended to clean your build cache first with pamac clean --build-files

NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal and Maxwell support

With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) or Maxwell (GTX 9xx) GPUs

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal or Maxwell cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment.

Intervention required: Switch to a legacy driver to maintain support:
Install the official linuxXXX-nvidia-575xx, linuxXXX-nvidia-570xx, or related DKMS packages. You can use nvidia-driver-assistant to figure out which driver would support your hardware best.

.NET packages may require manual intervention

2025-12-11 - George Rawlinson

The following packages may require manual intervention due to the upgrade from 9.0 to 10.0:

  • aspnet-runtime
  • aspnet-targeting-pack
  • dotnet-runtime
  • dotnet-sdk
  • dotnet-source-built-artifacts
  • dotnet-targeting-pack

pacman may display the following error failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) for the affected packages.

If you are affected by this and require the 9.0 packages, the following commands will update e.g. aspnet-runtime to aspnet-runtime-9.0:

pacman -Syu aspnet-runtime-9.0

pacman -Rs aspnet-runtime

mkinitcpio v40 disabled fallback image creation for new installs

mkinitcpio v40, packaging changes and kernel-install - Arch-dev-public - lists.archlinux.org
This is only affects new installs as we can’t change the hook files on existing installs.

To disable fallback image creation on older installed systems

  • Change PRESETS=('default' 'fallback') line to PRESETS=('default') in the respective .preset files in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/.
  • Regenerate initramfs - sudo mkinitcpio -P
  • Update boot loader - sudo update-grub

Warning
Disabling all fallback initramfs generation will deprive you of another option to boot into the system in case a default initramfs fails. Before proceeding, make sure you have a bootable installation medium for rescue purposes on hand.

Previous testing threads:

I didn’t see any new packages on my testing machine but got manjaro-release 26.0.0 and nvidia-driver-assistant 0.23.48.01 on my stable machines.

Happy new year to all of you

Mirrors might need to sync first …

I got 15 packages. No issues. Update went fine.

that tool is only used on nvidia hardware. Normally not in other profiles. How was it called on your end?

via: sudo pacman-mirrors --timezone && sudo pacman -Syyuu simple systemupdate.

Hm?
