KDE Plasma users with SDDM can now migrate to Plasma Login Manager

After ensuring plasma-login-manager 6.5.90-1 (or newer) is installed, run the following:

sudo pacman -Syu plasma-login-manager
systemctl disable sddm
systemctl enable plasmalogin
sudo pacman -R sddm-kcm sddm
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 26.0 Anh-Linh 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).

Additional Info

Python 3.14 info

:information_source: You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install files to site-packages or link to libpython3.13.so.

Print a list of of packages that have files in /usr/lib/python3.13/ :

pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13/

Rebuild them all at once:*

pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.13)

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

Info about AUR packages

:warning: 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 Support > AUR and a helpful volunteer may be able to assist you.

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
