Hello all! Back with another issue. I’ve been trying to update with yay -Syu for a while now, but I’ve been running into this: [Screenshot_20250629_105448] This has been a bit of an ongoing issue for about a month or two now, but I’ve been too busy with life to think of it much and didn’t realis…

Thanks!!! That fixed what kept me from updating with pacman, I might’ve missed this announcement!

Thanks for letting me know, will do that in future! So, I fixed the nodejs thing, turns out the nodejs-lts-jod was the dependency for balena etcher, After removing balena etcher, I was able to remove nodejs-lts-jod, and then it spent the next 25 minutes updating a frankly concerning amount of chrom…

[image] banaarceus: balena etcher may I suggest you read this from our wiki there are much better programs to use for this task. https://discovery.endeavouros.com/installation/create-install-media-usb-key/2021/03/

Thanks!!! I’ll use one of those. Honestly noticed balena has been falling off, I think I was annoyed with it last I used it, so this list comes at a good timing! I don’t think I’ll try yay -Syu for a while though until I figure out how to prevent the chromium mirror hell, my computer is fortunately…

If the electron packages are in the aur, which it sounds like they are, you can probably uninstall them. Edit: Beaten to it again. You’ve got to be really quick…

I’ll try that!! While we’re here, I usually use X11, and I noticed I’m in a wayland session now (xppen driver stopped working and switching desktops doesn’t lag lol), and there is no more X11. This is a problem for me, mostly because of wayland’s previous issues with nvidia- especially seen in stea…

Depending on the DE your using both Gnome and KDE are the only ones I’m aware of that come default for wayland now. X11 is still supported for now. There are other DE’s/WM’s that do no rely on wayland. Personally I use Openbox and XFCE

Run sudo pacman -Syu plasma-x11-session. See here for the announcement.

Conflicting dependencies issue while updating - No option to remove one of them?

please read this thread

as far as the first error first remove the conflicting package then update then reinstall the package with the new name if needed.
