Anybody else noticed that screen-sleeping has turned into screen-dimming?
Not sure if it is kernel66 or latest nvidia drivers.
Nvidia introduced the possibility for night colors in wayland, might have had strange effects on x11?

I don’t know if you’re using KDE, but in it it seems there’s a new option now to dimm the screen before it goes into sleep. If you have wide ranged values it can appear that the screen only goes dimm until the screen sleep timer kicks in.
Still presuming you’re on KDE, the setting can be found in System settings → Power management

OMFG!!! I would never have looked there. I checked it the first time it happened and there was DEFINATELY no checkbox so I would not go back and check again!
Must have been updated after, or I was blind.
Thank you! 
Now I have to make sure the rest is working, because I THINK it went into sleep instead of turning the monitor off after dim time ended.

Yeah! I think it came very recently with one of the updates 
You’re very welcome, cheers! 
Regarding kpeoplevcard: this is only a matter of versioning schema convention, the newest package version is supposed to be 0.1-2 but the previously installed (Manjaro packaged) version is 0.1+r38.32d50a9-1 which semantically seems more recent.
This is the manual bypass that worked for me:
sudo pacman -S kpeoplevcard=0.1-2
Yay was trying to offer all sorts of modifications (upgrades/downgrades) to make it work but no option seemed to work, same goes for pamac, running this command fixed it.
Yes, see
Continuing the discussion from [Unstable Update] 2023-10-08 - GNOME 45:
Well, dude, its in the other branches now.
The point was to report and inquire. For some reason you couldnt respond to either in a reasonable manner.
So its going to continue to be asked … and continue to look like a mistake.
Even if no other action is taken … you could clarify that its intentional for debugging or something instead of getting mad at the question.
Though … if that were the purpose … why in production to the branches and for so long? …
In case you forgot, this is a reminder 
The problem I brought up in the previous thread seems to be an Nvidia issue:
I can live with dips to 72 frames-per-second 'til the fix, but this is awful for people with 75 Hz monitors…
Feature drivers need time to mature. That is why we kept production drivers in stable and testing branches of Nvidia for now.
I’m on unstable also - fully updated - but I see no problem with octopi here ?
As a matter of fact, I don’t see problems anywhere ! 
Turns out it was a false alarm at the OP’s system…
Greetz,
Eddy

You should have read the linked thread: a config file was identified as the culprit and it was resolved by removing it and letting it recreate.

The update to sudo 1.9.15.p2-1 generated /etc/sudoers.pacnew. Are there any important changes that I should merge?
Thats what the pacnew is for.

the new Linux 67 kernel has been named as rc7 rather than rc1 which is current…

firefox developer edition is behaving strange after kernel rebuilding.
One could suspect that hardware acceleration is in play - I am not completely sure why it is hanging - actually completely freezing the system - a switch to console (TTY)
takes 5s to complete - running a pkill firefox brings system back from the ‘dead’

Using backup browser Vivaldi to write this.
Normal firefox seems to be less unaffected … although hanging can be observed for a few seconds - system becomes unresponsive - no mouse movement etc. - the returns to normal after a few seconds.
No problems here but everything here is so different I doubt it will help…
I have been using 6.7 since the middle of the merge window, all Manjaro patches are commented out for my build
Firefox Dev 120.0b9 (64-bit) is the Mozilla build

Whoooops! Thank you. I was a little tired when I pushed that PKGBUILD last night, I guess …
Fixed now and currently rebuilding.
After a rest and returning to my computer - I find the freeze and hanging to be more widespread.
Vivaldi is hanging so I am thinking GPU driver - all kernel based on my system.
I have rebuilt kernel to
$ uname -r
6.7.0-rc1-next-20231115-1-next-git-01493-gbc962b35b139-dirty
But I had to use Xorg where I usually use plasma-wayland-session - to be able to open a brower to do followup
EDIT: switching between wayland and xorg is ATM the difference between a working system or a hung system - so I am thinking
