(Test Update) 2026-01-03 – COSMIC 1.0.1, Budgie, NVIDIA Driver Assistant – Test Updates

[keyword]


Hello community, here we have another set of package updates. Codenamed ‘Anh-Linh’, Manjaro 26.0 is now very close for release. We have already made 3 release candidates. Our focus is on Plasma 6.5 and GNOME 49. Both will use Wayland by default, which may change things for older systems out there. Some who still need X11 support can consider our XFCE build.

NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal support

With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older.

Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will not load the driver, which may result in a broken graphics environment.

Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards should switch to a legacy driver to retain support:

  • Install the official linuxXXX-nvidia-575xx, linuxXXX-nvidia-570xxor related DKMS packages.
  • Manjaro 25.0 Zetar released
  • Manjaro Summit public Alpha now available
  • As of Linux 5.4.302, the 5.4 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 5.10 LTS (Long Term Support) or 5.15 LTS.
  • As of Linux 6.16.12, the 6.16 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 6.18 stable and/or 6.12 LTS (Long Term Support).
  • As of Linux 6.17.13, the 6.17 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 6.18 stable and/or 6.12 LTS (Long Term Support).

Valkey to replace Redis in the (extra) repository

2025-04-17 – Andrew Crerar

Valkey, a high-performance key/value data store, will replace redis in the (extra) repository. This change is due to Redis changing its license from BSD-3 clause to RSALv2 and SSPLv1 on March 20, 2024.

Arch Linux Package Maintainers intend to support the availability of the redis package for approximately 14 days from the day of this post, to enable a smooth transition to valkey. After the 14 day transition period ends, the redis package will be moved to the AUR. Also, from this point on, the redis package will not receive any additional updates and should be considered deprecated until removed.

Users are recommended to switch their usage from Redis to Valkey as soon as possible to avoid possible complications after the 14-day transition window closes.

Additional information

Python 3.13 information

:information source: You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install or link files to site packages libpython3.12.so.

Print a list of packages that have files in them /usr/lib/python3.12/ :

pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12/

Rebuild them all at once:*

pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12)

Use rebuild-detector to see if anything else needs rebuilding:

 checkrebuild

* It is recommended to first clean your build cache with pamac clean --build-files

Information about AUR packages

:warning: AUR (Arch User Repository) packages are not supported by Arch or Manjaro. Posts about them Announcements topics are off topic and will be flagged, moved or removed without warning.

For help with AUR packages, please create a new topic Support > AUR and a helpful volunteer may be able to assist you.
