Yes. But if system produced from iso installation have pipewire-media-session installed by default then installing manjaro-pipewire package will result in using deprecated pipewire-media-session instead of wireplumber?

15

No ISO has been updated yet except for the daily development GNOME ISO.

Update for GNOME users:

If you dont mind my other fiddlings, you can get an updated KDE with pipewire/wireplumber here:

:information_source: For the three people who are brave enough to attempt to use ZFS:

ZFS extramodules; i.e., linuxXX-zfs, have been dropped from the repos. There have been recent difficulties building them and no one on the Manjaro Team uses ZFS.

Please install zfs-dkms instead. You will to need to manually remove the old 2.1.13 extramodule package(s) first to install the new 2.2.0 packages; i.e., with linux61:

sudo pacman -R linux61-zfs && sudo pacman -Syu zfs-dkms
20

species One of Three responding …

sudo zpool export <pool>
sudo pacman -R --noconfirm linux61-zfs && sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm zfs-dkms

==> ERROR: Failed to load preset: '/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset'
error: command failed to execute correctly
(4/4) Updating the info directory file...

reboot
sudo zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id <pool>
sudo zpool status <pool>

all went fine but zfs-dkms takes a long time to finish so i am not that happy.

21

linuxXX-zfs is not in linux66 but is still in all the older one’s 54-65

23

Probably nothing as your system still boots but I’d check that rather sooner than later…

24

I edited my post above to provide more reasoning. This may only be temporary, we’ll see. The AUR maintainers apparently are having issues as well.

26

correct just mentioning it

27

can be deleted as it is normally part of the Arch Linux kernel.

Some packages from the the latest batch of updates in Unstable conflicts with sddm-breath-theme and kpeoplevcard which in turn is necessary for kdeconnect and other packages:

:: installing frameworkintegration5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'frameworkintegration' required by klassy
:: installing kwayland5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kwayland' required by klassy
:: installing kpeople5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kpeople' required by kpeoplevcard

New KDE update comes today from the unstable branch.

I got the conflicting package kpeoplevcard:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing kpeople5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kpeople' required by kpeoplevcard
:: installing kcontacts5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'kcontacts' required by kpeoplevcard
  1. I removed kdeconnect which requires the dependency kpeoplevcard.
  2. Update ran fine without the conflict.

But I want to install kdeconnect again after update, but that fails because:

$ sudo pacman -S kdeconnect

I checked kpeoplevcard, it looks quite outdated and was packaged by Manjaro team in 2020, this does not match Arch KDE packages in Manjaro unstable branch.

$ pacman -Si kpeoplevcard

@Manjaro-Team
Can you remove kpeoplevcard from Manjaro repo and sync it with Arch repo?

Edit://

A solution is possible:
I manually install the kpeoplevcard package from the Arch repo to fix the issue. KDE connect runs flawlessly.

sddm-breath-theme dependency problem:

:: installing plasma-framework5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'plasma-framework' required by sddm-breath-theme
32

Sadly I cannot say the same. After removing kdeconnect the update still doesn’t go through for me

33

Did you try:

  1. Download it from the Arch repo.
  2. Run sudo pacman -U <package> to install it.
  3. Update (You need to ignore installing kpeoplevcard from the Manjaro repo)
34

I tried that and disabled updates for kpeoplevcard in /etc/pacman.conf. After that the following is printed upon sudo pacman -Syyu

Nach in Konflikt stehenden Paketen wird gesucht …
Fehler: Vorgang konnte nicht vorbereitet werden (Kann Abhängigkeiten nicht erfüllen)
:: Installation von plasma-framework5 (5.111.0-1) verletzt Abhängigkeit »plasma-framework«, benötigt von sddm-breath-theme
35

You have the other problem, it has nothing to do with kpeoplevcard issue.

  • sddm-breath-theme was packaged by Manjaro, not Arch.
  • plasma-framework5 was packaged by Arch.

This is why both do not match properly.
You wait for Manjaro team to maintain the package sddm-breath-theme

Can report the updating issues have been resolved. With kdeconnect as well, cheers
