All good so far. 😁

Testing the oficial kernel 6.12 in order to see if it fixes a weird touch pad issue.

I will also test 6.12. It will be the next LTS soon.

Refreshed ISO images are available.  
They contain all updates.  
Pulseaudio has been replaced by pipewire.

It seems to work fine for me

In the Manjaro forum I’ve seen a couple of reports of lightdm not working after the update. The culprit appears to be an inadvertent filename change: `libpixbufloader-svg.so` is now `libpixbufloader_svg.so` (hyphen changed to underscore), which is causing other GUI problems as well.

But it seems most likely to appear if one runs the update using the Pamac GUI, which I cannot imagine any Mabox user would ever do for a major system update! Using `pacman` or `yay` on a tty should be fine.

That said, I have not updated yet, so I cannot guarantee that this is the way. 🙃

The solution, especially if one sees errors like  
`file not found: libpixbufloader-svg.so`,  
would be to run  
`sudo gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache`

In the unlikely case that your CLI upgrade is interrupted (power failure, cat knocks laptop to floor, etc…) it might be a good idea to run that command after you clean up the rest of the mess, in case it was skipped.

@napcok, I just booted two computers with the new, shiny ISO.

There is a several years old problem with **memtest** that Manjaro, surprisingly, hasn’t fixed yet. It does not work [because of a variable](https://forum.manjaro.org/t/memory-test-no-longer-included-on-live-isos/62074/2) (if booting in BIOS mode). For EFI mode there is already an official package but the menu option is not even present in grub.

Those two seem easy to fix and I was wondering if you could please do it for Mabox. 🤔
