Is kdeconnect from the repos or some flatschpak?
You've not partially updated the system? (Notably qt6-wayland is in sync w/ the rest of qt6?)
Edit, possibly relevant: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=314888

I have everything (so also kdeconnect) installed from the repos and have done a full system upgrade before posting, so qt6-wayland is in sync with the other qt6 packages. I have also upgraded my nvidia drivers to 615.71.09-1 and everything still works.

This is related to arch based distros btw

systemd-udevd 261.3-1 severe boot hang/slowdown, USB+DisplayPort broke

For clarification, systemd-udevd is not a thing, udev is part of the systemd package. Or are you using different builds/repos?

No. I just don't know better, sorry

seth wrote:

Have you confirmed them being the offenders by downgrading only systemd*?

Not, yet, as my notebook not booting usually make me panic and my first action always is getting it do it's job again as fast as possible. So from the current position on, I could try the opposite, if you think this makes sense. This would be just upgrading just systemd.

Do you happend to have preserved the system journals of one of the affected boots?

I fear timeshift probably deleted these, doesn't it?

seth wrote:

(Otherwise the implication is you'll have to restore the broken state, dump the journal and either timeshift back or isolate the regression by downgrading
* systemd is split into 'systemd' 'systemd-libs' 'systemd-resolvconf' 'systemd-sysvcompat' 'systemd-tests' and 'systemd-ukify'
You'll have to up/downgrade the ones you've installed together

OK, in case this repeats with my next trial updating the system, I will report back with these diagnostics.

nvidia 615.71.09-1 seems to break on Wayland

dummy@example.com (marcs) — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 07:52:55 +0000

After upgrading to nvidia drivers version 615.71.09-1, both plasma-login-manager and gdm cannot load and I got a black screen. I tested sddm and it loads fine since it's on Xorg but fails to load any desktop environments that run on Wayland.
While trying to load a DE I got this message on dmesg, I don't know if related to the problem, might be:

ERROR: GPU:1: nvHandleCpEventDeferredWork: DisplayId 0x10000 Invalid

I rolled back to version 610.57.04 to get a functioning desktop environment.

System freezes during boot with most recent ucode/firmware (T14s AMD)

dummy@example.com (mib1982) — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 07:17:56 +0000

Any chance your update also included linux-firmware-amdgpu? Same suspicion here about amd-ucode, but for me, it turned out to be the firmware package.

Went back to linux-firmware-amdgpu 20260810-2 and boot times were normal again. Yours won't boot at all, so it might be something else entirely, but still worth a look.

Phone-to-USB-C connection failing

can you plug it into a usb port instead of a usbc port?

Does you company provide any alternative protocols you could connect with instead?

Welp, since I did clean pacman's cache right after that update (disk was almost full), I guess I have to download previous strongswan version then.
Would libreswan package from AUR fix my problem? And if yes, will that move from AUR to core or extra repo?

Unfortunately, this IKEv1 protocol is the only way they provide for me to connect to that VPN network which is frustrating since it also doesn't work on my cellphone (iirc, since Android v11 l2tp is disabled).
Thank you @-thc and @loqs for your feedback.

EDIT: after downgrading from strongswan-6.1.0-2 to strongswan-6.0.7-1, now everything is back in order.

Snapper snapshots ok in @ / subvolume or not?

I did some research and apparently booting from a snapshot only boots in read only mode but it allows you to find the right snapshot before the system broke. There's a "rollback" command on the openSUSE systems but apparently in Arch you have to do it manually. Mount your desired snapshot temporarily and overwrite the root subvolume but like you, I'm going to wait until it happens to play around with this.

I have snapper, snap-pac, and grub-btrfs (available from btrfs-progs). Snapper does have a rollback command.

You boot into the snapshot from GRUB

Confirm it is the correct snapshot

Rollback with sudo snapper -c root rollback

That replaces your 0 snapshot (current) with the desired snapshot.

Then you can reboot the system and it will resume operations from the restored snapshot.

If you mean a literal "rollback" command, one could create an alias of the snapper command.

After a bit of searching I have also found another fix, but I would like to avoid recompiling the kernel if I can.

Try and get the patch accepted upstream so you can avoid the recompile?

Does this repo contain patches for both cameras or one camera and another fix?

Audio in Minecraft suddenly quit working

dummy@example.com (Bachsau) — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 20:32:49 +0000

Forcing people to use pipewire can't be called a solution. To me, pipewire is just bloatware.

I have a system-wide configuration file in place that clearly tells OpenAL to use PulseAudio, but for some reason it fails to load libpulse.so.0, even though it definitely exists in my /usr/lib. Strangely, older versions such as 1.8.9 are not affected. I don't know why this happens, but preloading the library fixes the problem.

I created a small wrapper script "/usr/local/bin/minecraft-launcher":

#!/usr/bin/sh -eu
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpulse.so.0
exec /usr/bin/minecraft-launcher

Now the launcher and everything run by it has that thing already loaded and ready for use.

Hyprlock doesn't start properly after returning from Sleep

It was the root cause in my case too! I thought it was a hardware issue but it wasn't

Weird stuttering with a second monitor

dummy@example.com (Elizabeth) — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:45:14 +0000

Posting this a separate reply because it feels significant enough
Ive done the bisecting and these are the results:

7.0.0-1-mainline
- Wayland (Stutter) (niri/weston) - no/no
- Xorg (Tearing) (i3) - yes

7.1.0-1-mainline
- Wayland (Stutter) (niri/weston) - no/no
- Xorg (Tearing) (i3) - absent but intermittently shows up???

7.1.0-rc5-1-mainline
- Wayland (Stutter) (niri/weston) - no/no
- Xorg (Tearing) (i3) - no

7.1.0-rc7-1-mainline
- Wayland (Stutter) (niri/weston) - no/no
- Xorg (Tearing) (i3) - yes, and it wouldnt go away no matter how long I looked

7.2.0-1-mainline
- Wayland (Stutter) (niri/weston) - yes/yes
- Xorg (Tearing) (i3) - at first yes then it dissapears?

So it seems that 7.2 introduced the stutter. As for Xorg, I just dont know. There doesn't seem to be any pattern and it might just be totally unrelated and/or a consequence of me doing a bad installation of it. I really just dont know.
Kernels are taken from https://pkgbuild.com/~gromit/linux-bisection-kernels/

Edit: just for clarity's sake the order of the results here is not the order of testing, I just found it to be prettier to present the kernels sequentially rather than in testing order
