Hi, @juancuyo

There seems to be two problems: the one related with Python cache (solved by @muzqs [here](https://forum.maboxlinux.org/t/stable-update-2026-07-11-kernels-cosmic-1-2-xorg-firefox-thunderbird/2558/3)) and the other with `libayatana-appindicator` package. So, open the terminal and fix the simplest one:

```auto
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/lightdm_gtk_greeter_settings/ __pycache__ /
sudo pacman -Syu

```

If you still get the `libayatana` error, don’t close the terminal and go on:

`sudo pacman -Rs libayatana-appindicator`  
`sudo pacman -Syu`

This time it _should_ update fine. As soon as it finish, reinstall it with:

`sudo pacman -S libayatana-appindicator`

It’s now safe to reboot your system.

Regards.
