• As of Linux 6.16.12, the 6.16 series is now EOL (End Of Life). Please install 6.17 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 datastore, will be replacing redis in the [extra] repository. This change is due to Redis modifying its license from BSD-3-Clause to RSALv2 and SSPLv1 on March 20th, 2024.

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

Users are recommended to begin transitioning their use of Redis to Valkey as soon as possible to avoid possible complications after the 14 day transition window closes.

• Manjaro, like many other open-source projects, relies on the generosity of its community through donations and corporate sponsorships to support its growth and development. These donations are essential in covering the various expenses incurred in the operations of the project such as server costs, software development tools, infrastructure expenses, training, flying people to events or conferences and the salaries of key developers. With the help of these donations, Manjaro is able to secure the necessary financial stability that allows the project to continuously improve and remain active. If you love Manjaro, consider to donate!

Additional Info

Python 3.13 info

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

Print a list of of packages that have files in /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 to be rebuilt:

checkrebuild

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

Graphical issues on older hardware (Black screen, Flickering) due to mesa 25.2.x update

It seems on older hardware the mesa 25.2.x update created some regressions which may result in black screens or flickering. Some older Nvidia cards with nouveau driver seem to be affected.

You can try to use the 25.1.x series of Mesa via this repo. Simply place it on top of [extra] in your /etc/pacman.conf file and use sudo pacman -Syuu to downgrade.

[mesa-251]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Server = https://download.manjaro.org/pkgs/mesa

If you have no graphical session available you can access the bootloader by pressing ESC key during boot and select the bootloader entry. Press CTRL+E for edit and search for the words quiet and splash. Delete those and add 3 to the line. Then execute CTRL+x to start your session. You will land in a text console TTY. Login with your user.

Edit the /etc/pacman.conf with nano: sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf. Perform the downgrade and reboot.
