I just installed EndeavourOS_Artemis_neo_22_8.iso fresh on my new X500 , chose XFCE4 but as the title suggests, the nm-connection-editor opens a file selector window exactly 8 times before the Editing Window is finally displayed (when you click the Edit Selected Connection Button you have to cancel the file selector window 8 times).
Have I already managed to mess up my default program associations or something?
All I have I installed so far after the online install from live usb is steam and vulkan-radeon, what gives?

Same here on my end though I need to cancel the file selector 16 times
I haven’t used it for a while so I can’t tell when this issue started.

My friend just updated her laptop (endeavour OS) and she has the 16x issue that y’all are having now too, whereas it was fine before the update. (She didn’t keep terminal open to see what the updates actually were though, unfortunately).

It looks like it’s just part of an update.

I tried downgrading the package one at a time back to 1.22.0 but the issue still persists.
I wonder if the issue is not caused by these packages that got updated just recently:

I checked my friends log and there is a couple other suspect package upgrades, but I won’t have access to her laptop until tomorrow.

@Yeneros , welcome to the purple space!
Same issue here on EOS + Cinnamon DE, when I try to connect to Wi-Fi, file selector is open 8 times prior to the window asking for password. I noticed yesterday and I thought the culprit was Network Manager Applet, but now it seems I was wrong.
It could be this one?
On my system, it’s required by network-manager-applet

I held back these (just in case) on my main PC:
I then installed and reverted these:
I did not restart the PC but after upgrading the issue was immediately apparent (x8) and was resolved with those two libnma packages being reverted:
sudo pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/libnma-common-1.8.40-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst file://var/cache/pacman/pkg/libnma-1.8.40-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Trouble is my X500 has a clean package cache so ill have to copy them over from my main PC, if that works…
Where does one get old packages like that from anyways, without a PC which just happens to have them cached?

Cheers! Purple is the absolute best!
The problem seems to be in libnma 1.10.0-1 / libnma-common 1.10.0-1

You can use downgrade , that is installed by default on EndeavourOS, just type the command and it will grab it from cache or upstream.
sudo downgrade libnma
Oops, I’ve forgot to mention you have to select wich version you want:
Type the number and press Enter key to get the previous version.
