Game controller stopped working after the latest stable update

After the latest update my controller (Xbox series control) won't be recognized by the system, neither connected by usb or using the wireless dongle (via xone from the AUR, focus on the usb part). Before the update I was using kernel 6.11 and the controller worked just fine but I decided to switch to 6.12 after the update and in neither is working right know. I'm speaking of the kernel because when I tried 6.6 LTS it works just fine even after the update.

+600 updates?

Started using manjaro a month or two ago after +10 years of ubuntu, and today I got +600 updates. Is this some seasonal base library update thing or did something happen in the backend? There's no news about it in their site.

I am sure 4k 60 hz is possible due to my dual boot on windows 11. it is nothing related to hardware.

i have a xt 6750 xt. everything works fine in windows.

Error formating volume

I updated an old laptop with Manjaro and was unable to boot afterwards. So I created a live USB iso installer, but my 'sda' hard drive is not found in gparted, and is giving the following error in disks: Error wiping device: Failed to probe the device '/dev/sda/' (udisks-error-quark,0)

I tried to create the partition manually in the installation but it also failed

Is there a way to fix it? I tried with calamares but it also failed

MSI Katana with 4050 RTX GPU fails to start GUI

SOLVED - I bought a MSI Katana with 4050 RTX GPU for my wife. Neither of us are gamers so just getting it working is fine. The live USB was made with manjaro-xfce-24.1.2-241104-linux610 and the checksum was correct. It boots fine and appears to install fine. However the install fails to start the GUI. I tried ALT F2 and was able to log in. The result of inxi is here

Seems like there are 3 graphics drivers installed? Can anyone help me to get the GUI working?

Laptop shuts down at 40%.

I am running manjaro linux kde on my HP laptop. I recently got a new battery a few months back in August. It was working fine but. But from a few days I have been experiencing this issue.

What happens is that my laptop randomly shuts down below 40% and won't turn on, until I plug in the charger and only then it boots in. And it starts to charge from 40%.

I searched online and found a calibration method like using laptops until it shuts down then charge it again to 100% and then etc. I did that but again it still shuts down below or at 40%.

Any help is appreciated.

Why is Manjaro reporting old packages?

I'm using Manjaro Linux kernel 6.11.10-2.

"Add/Remove Software" is reporting that package qBittorrent is available from "Official Repositories (extra)" at version 4.6.7-1 and this is simply not correct (current). A quick visit to the Arch Linux Package Search reveals that Arch is current at version 5.0.2-1 (and has been for quite some time now).

Am I supposed to be doing something to stay current? Is this just "Manjaro being Manjaro" (intentionally running behind). TIA.

Recently installed, new to linux. Touchpad is acting really innacurate?

My touchpad on my laptop isn't as accurate as it was in windows, which means placing my cursor on certain things is *really* annoying. Is this a known issue? I've looked around and I can't find anyone else who has reported this issue. I'm using XFCE.

Quick tip for pinning a link shortcut to dock

I was googling this for about half an hour yesterday, and all the answers were very old and didn't work for me. I was trying to pin a shortcut to my nextcloud deck to the dock so I could access it with one click. This is in gnome 47 on latest manjaro. The tutorials online said to create a desktop app link in /usr/share/applications. Didn't work for me for whatever reason.

I downloaded epiphany with the intention to set it as the homepage and have a second browser just for nextcloud. I found out epiphany has a built in tool to pin a url to the dock as an application! Now I can one click to go-to my nextcloud interface and it's a nice neat item on my dock with the correct icon and everything!

Just wanted to share the tip since I didn't have much luck finding this info anywhere else.

Urxvt prints gibberish with tmux

When usin tmux on top of the Urxvt terminal there is gibberish being printed out to the terminal.

[~]$ 10;rgb:bebe/bebe/bebe]11;rgb:2200/2d00/3100

My .Xreferences file is barely edited. I have included a theme which even when not in use causes the above unwated printout.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I downloaded plasma two days ago and I had problems. Help pls…

Hi, I downloaded plasma two days ago and I had problems. My PC turns off the screen and the devices connected to it, but it continues to work (the cooler is running the video card, fans), but I can't do anything, even turn it off with a button. I have to turn off the power supply to reboot the PC. This happens when inactive for 10-30 seconds, or it can turn off immediately after I stop playing the video (for example, I paused the series, 5 seconds pass and it turns off). This also happened on windows, but very rarely, I didn't pay attention before (yes, I was lazy and didn't care). I checked the operating memory, gpu, CPU, rebuilt the computer, it still didn't help, everything is turned on normally everywhere. I have: 1650 gaming x 4gb; ryzen 3 3100; hyperx fury x2 16gb; GIGABYTE B450M S2H motherboard; bequiet 600w power supply; Samsung 72ghz monitor (I don't know what model), the cable is fine. Temperatures are normal. I suspect that there is not enough power supply, but this nonsense 600w should be enough. All settings related to sleep mode and going to Narnia are disabled when inactive. I did not change the driver to video-nvidia, there is video-linux,video-modesetting,video-vesa. Help please. And sorry for my eng.

How to go about contributing new features to a Manjaro project?

First of all, apologies, I'm sure this is documented somewhere but I couldn't find an answer. Any help would be appreciated :)

I'd like to have an option in pamac preferences to automatically execute a system backup before installing updates (see feature request).

I got this done with a bash script and a systemd service + timer that runs weekly, but I'm not happy with having my custom service that partially duplicates features that already exist in pamac.

So I was thinking I could just implement the missing part myself and here comes my question: how do I go about this? Do I just create a pull request and ask the maintainer to take a look? Do I need to get some support for the feature, and if so, how?

I'm linux beginner. I need help regarding temps

I have been using manjaro linux on my main pc with out any probs but on my hp14s laptop with and igpu I'm having terrible temps with hyperdots hyprland setup. On windows i didn't have this issue as the temps were better between 40-60°c. And on this setup I'm getting temps from 50°c to 80°c. I live somewhere in the souther part of Asia so having a laptop with 30°c to 40°c while idling is normal. The left on is the average cpu temp and right is GPU temp. It's also true that the laptop has bad cooling with a fan on just one side (cpu).

HELP ME! install drivers for my wifi adapter

So I have been using linux for about 3 days and there is something I can't fix, No matter how many solutions I apply from the internet or wiki my wifi adapter just doesnt want to function on linux. I tried everything on ubunut then I thought it must just be driver incompatibility so I tried everything on mint even then It didnt and then I tried manjaro because it is known to be driver compatible but even then its nor working. My adapter is the Archer V3 from Tp-link. And the ID it shows when I do 'lsusb' is 802.11ac. Everything else seems to work fine without any problem its just the wifi adapter isnt even being detected on the OS. Someone, Please HELP ME

Manjaro vs Cachyos

Alright so I'm currently on Linux mint. It's very stable and I haven't had too many issues with it. I really liked Cachyos, however it was a tad more buggy than I could stand at times. I've gotten a bit curious about Manjaro Linux as a result and I'm pretty curious how stable this distro is, being based on arch as well

Unable to install manjaro on non bootable storage

Unable to see partition

Hello everyone. Trying to install Manjaro (Kde) everything started well was able to do boot from flash drive.

When installing i selected sda and it showed no partition. It showed the total storage of my ssd without any partion like ( E drive D drive)Although i made a partition on window ( 55gb unallocated was showing on disc manager windows) is there a way to fix this. Will the installation take place in 55 gb or complete ssd storage will be covered.

I previously intalled fedora on other disk of mine (nvme, this is where my windows is installed) this nvme is still showing partion like free space( another unallocated space i created to check) health etc

What is caussing this issue? How to fix it?
