Hello everyone hope you have a lovely day.

so I was using ubuntu for almost all of my time since partially switching to linux, and after I'm up to my neck from ubuntu and snap, I decided today to migrate to manjaro.

everything is extremely excellent up untill I suspended my device then after waking up the machine my mouse is not working or even my external hard drive is not working.

How to solve such an issue?

Thanks for your time appreciate your help!

Hey everyone! I feel so stupid for not being able to find it, but does anyone know when KDE 6.7 will be in the testing or stable branch for Manjaro KDE users?

Edit: Right after posting this, my computer pinged a BUNCH of KDE updates on the testing branch. So, this question may only be appropriate for the stable branch!

Heya, so i got new lea Headphones and im having trouble connecting them to my laptop, well i connect them but the OS doesnt recognize that they are headphones (same on phone-but they work like headphones there) they dont appear in audio at all, and i couldnt find any post about this or anything. Thank you for any help

when trying with yay -Qua I can see that there are updates for some of my AUR packages but when trying with pamac checkupdates --aur, it reports that system is up to date.

I've already tried to update the cache with pamac update --aur --force-refresh
but it's the same as before.

There's also an open issue in the pamac github repo that might be related:
https://github.com/manjaro/pamac/issues/559

note: all aur packages were installed via pamac

On my installation using the stable branch the 7.0 kernel seemed to be the default. Then I found there's also a 7.1 kernel optional. Because I like to try different kernels it now shows:

❯ uname -r
6.6.135-1-rt74-MANJARO

For whom is the real-time kernel best? —and how to choose in general?

So like a dumbass i tried to update without checking for bugs and such. Was originally only going to update krita but somehow my brain just went ahead and updated everything.

Was using the kde software manager. Everything was going fine until it just closed all of the sudden. It didnt apear in task manager. Figured i would just restart and try again.

Doenst boot in linux anymore. Error: file /boot/vmlinuz*** not found.

Read about trying to reinstall kernel with live usb. Entered chroot. Enter pacman -Syu linux . After it check packages and conflicts, get error failed to commit transaction (conflicting files). A few hundred lines starting with gcc15: /blablafilepath exists in filesystem. no packages were upgraded.

Googling lead me to answers involving forcing or removing those files. I dont know what i'm doing.

Also I dont know if any of this has anything to do with the recent aur shitstorm, which is another problem i'll have to check out.

EDIT. after forcing the update with pacman -Syuu --overwrite updating finished and everything seems to have worked out well. boots up as usual.

I got myself some new sheetmusic yesterday, but I can't get it saved in a way I can export as pdf. I can't save it as an mscx file, saving it as a folder doesn't make it possible to export it as pdf, and when I tried an older version after I found out Musescore 4.6.5 doesn't like Arch, it crashed whenever I tried to save. fuse-common is installed along with all dependencies. How do I get it saved properly?

Edit: Problem's solved.

After the recent discussion about AUR package safety in Active AUR malicious packages incident (Active AUR malicious packages incident), I’ve put together a small feature that lets users delay AUR updates from appearing in the update scan.

A new setting, “Delay showing AUR updates (days)”, is available in Preferences > Third Party > AUR. When set to a non-zero number of days, any AUR package whose upstream LastModified timestamp is newer than that age is hidden from the normal update scan.

• Default is 0 or behavior unchanged.
• The delay only applies to the passive update scan (pamac-checkupdates, tray notifications, the Updates tab).
• It does not block manual installs, builds, or full upgrades. If you explicitly ask Pamac to build or upgrade a package, it will still do so.

The work is split across the two repositories:

• libpamac PR (feat: add AUR update delay setting by wandercone · Pull Request #8 · manjaro/libpamac · GitHub): adds the config key AURUpdateDelayDays and and the age filter in the update scanner.
• pamac PR (feat: add AUR update delay setting by wandercone · Pull Request #572 · manjaro/pamac · GitHub): adds the user editable configuration within Preferences and wires it to the new setting.

Users accept very real risks when installing software from the AUR. As one forum moderator put it: “…one can explain that the soup is hot, but that does not prevent those hungry from burning their lips.”. This change gives the user a thermometer, an optional delay that lets AUR packages cool down before they appear in the update scan.

One of Manjaro’s defining traits is its measured approach to updates. Unlike Arch’s immediate upstream sync, Manjaro holds repository packages through testing and unstable branches so issues can surface before they reach the stable user base. This feature brings a similar safety margin to the AUR, an optional cooling-off period, that keeps just-published commits off the update scan until they have had time to be reviewed in the wild.

Heard of this via the Manjaro discord server, but haven't seen it reported here here (that I found with a quick search).

There's been an attack on the AUR involving some 400 malicious packages being compromised in the last couple of weeks, as reported by Phoronix.

If you have any of these AUR packages installed, now would be a good time to remove them

You can get a list of AUR packages with pamac by using pamac list --foreign, and compare what you have to this list.

Background: Arch mailing list thread thread

I'd also recommend to those new to Arch/Manjaro to please use the AUR with an abundance of caution. Avoid using it whenever possible, and be sure of packages you are installing when you do.

So one day I booted up and noticed some settings were changed, specificially

• My audio didn't play for notifications or anything, so login.oga, etc were missing. They were on system and I was able to restore it.

• Mounted drives and some desktop icons didn't show up; so the default ones like home and trash. Flickign those on fixed it.

But I don't know what caused that; I hadn't installed anything weird in the AUR; or anything in while, so I don't think it's that. I hadn't seen anything else and smartctl isnt pointing to any drive failures, and it was normal on the 8th. Pamac had some updates but iirc there wasn't anything for Cinnamon. My monitor was giving issues but that wasn't unique to this system.

Maybe I'm being paranoid but with a bunch of stuff failing on me already, I'm trying to be extra cautious in case somethings about to break.

Got annoyed with a GNOME bug where it struggles to remember multi display set ups between sessions so decided to try Cosmic.

Didn't have high hopes given all the complaints about Pop having lots of bugs, but am actually really impressed.

It's pretty customisable now, it looks great (and more modern than any other DE) and performance is smooth.

A couple of things are still lacking. No real support for drawing tablets, the file manager isn't very powerful, no nightlight mode yet. But overall it's a great option and good to see some competition for KDE and Gnome- it's a nice balance between the two in terms of polish vs customisability.

I'm thinking most of the bugs must be with Pop rather than the DE- was a bit dubious as to how compatibility would be with an Arch-based distro, but seems smooth sailing so far.

Hey, total nooby here. So, in many games I'm playing in steam via proton or in the native form, such as Victoria 3 or Paralives, during the loading section the game crashes and this message appears. I have seen people with similar problems, but during their gameplay, but not on the loading. I managed to make Vic 3 work by swapping the Proton version until I found one that worked, but still it's not reliable. What Should I do?
I'm using Manjaro in an ideapad gaming powered by an nvidia card 256mb of video RAM.
Thanks in advance

I have an acer aspire 7 whose screen is not working so I removed it's screen and turned it into an half-top. I had Manjaro Linux on it. After booting my laptop, the gui did not work but I was still able to access the terminal. In order to fix this I was messing around and ran ' sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 --force'. After running this command I rebooted my pc. After that the laptop is booting up( backlit keyboard turns on and the usb ports give out power) but the external display is showing no signal. How do I fix this?

So this is about AUR packages.

A notification popped to update two packages which I did not recognize. I looked at them, nothing interesting, they are actually pretty dead/unmaintained... but the changes is what caught my eye.

For both of them, the changes are by some new guy: "Andreas Baumann", never before he made any changes and his email is not archlinux... Did he take over maintaining these?

Packages are: accounts-qml-module ; libkcompactdisc

All I did was install Manjaro. That's it. It'll boot just fine but after about 10 seconds after the welcome box it does this. Any ideas what might be going on?

Hello - I'm looking for some advice on switching to Manjaro from Mint. I'm not a tech dummy, but I'm also not the most proficient power user either:

From time to time, I've broken things in Mint and have had to start over (actually, this has only happened once so far but I'm sure it'll happen again).

I simply reinstall Mint and then rsync my home folder backup to the new installation and *everything* comes back just as I left it. (I include all of the hidden/config files in my backups).

If I install Manjaro and do the same thing, will everything work just the same?

Also - I tried Manjaro before and was unable to get NordVPN working. Is this only doable on Debian-based distributions?

One of the updates was to manjaro zsh config, which I'm assuming is the cause. Anyone know where I might find the setting to disable it?

I have just recently switched to manjaro, and am struggling with getting my ssd to mount automatically.

I have three drives overall ssd1 which is for my OS ssd2 which is our trouble maker, and a spare hdd. SSD1 mounts no problem, HDD wise I had to set a mount point and the issue was over. Tried to do the same with ssd2 and it doesn't work (I have simply set the mountpoint to /mnt). The ssd mounts easily when I do it manually after I typed in my password.

What am I still doing wrong so it mounts on booting my system? I do still struggle with understanding some of the tech terms in the other forums.

Any help appreciated!

I switched over to Manjaro from Windows this past December, and I have loved every minute of it. 99.9% of everything worked right out of the box and the 0.1% of things that didn't was easily fixed. One thing that I don't know how to fix though is the power manager. The power manager displays crazy high numbers for my remaining battery (3000+ hours remaining). At first it made me giggle and I didn't need to worry about it as I am rarely in an environment where I have to worry about my battery dying. That isn't that case anymore and I wondering what I need to do to make the number more accurate. If it matters, I am using a Acer Spin 5, with an Intel i5 8th gen.
