Thanks, wasn’t sure if this is a Plasma issue or a general Graphics issue, but I’ll check out the KDE pages.

Can someone check this? Looks like Spectacle needs to be rebuild for plasma 6.3.1

If we mean no gif format in spectacle video mode output options?
Then I dont seem to have it either.

Yeah, I noticed something strange here and wrote a bug report. They seem to have mixed up the tags (last comment). I don’t want to tell about bugs in arch forum anymore, but at least I’ll write you

Manjaro doesn’t use the Arch repositories.

Today, the Grub2 update came, and now when loading 2 times, it appears
" Linux Manjaro is loading "
“elementary Virtual disk is loading”
This is between the splash screen before and after the splash screen

Today, the Grub update came, and now when loading, (quiet has no affect…)
it appears: " Linux Manjaro is loading " and the kernel version.
How to suppress or do I have to get used to it??

I updated, after update I reinstalled GRUB as suggested, and indeed, there is no more GRUB menu/theme. It messages it is loading the ramdisk, then desktop boots up.

//EDIT: also some errors when I manually update GRUB menu entries some errors from OS-Prober:

Seems like two issues, one with OS Prober, and the initial one with GRUB that now boots up with no menu in console mode.

For me no problem with os-prober, but no appearance of the menu on boot, jumps right to latest kernel.

*I just edit /etc/default/grub with a text editor the line :

GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

Don’t know what changed this.

OK with previous GRUB version, the menu would show if (probably) you had another system alongside Manjaro (Windows for example). This was my case, but the GRUB config for me was “hidden”, I properly configured it for “menu” and it now behaves like before (showing the menu for duration of my timeout value). But yeah it now shows the same console messages after the menu.

I don’t think there is an issue with GRUB, it just behaves differently by spitting this message while loading the kernel (but I would assume the “quiet” boot parameter would hide such message).

Can confirm got those for update-grub (and/or install-grub) and currently the grub menu is no longer shown.

It also does not seem to be the fault of the theme, as other tests produce the same.

The errors with update-grub can be ‘worked around’ by various methods of removing/replacing os-prober or apparently explicitly mounting other OS partitions? But the menu is still absent.

Theres some tracking:

( sorry anyone who looked at my ‘cant find command exec’ error - it was my own doing. )
