[ACTUALIZACIÓN] #ARCHLINUX. Breaking changes for all users of `varnish`, which is renamed to `vinyl-cache`

Arch Linux: Recent news updates

The latest and greatest news from the Arch Linux distribution.

Breaking changes for all users of `varnish`, which is renamed to `vinyl-cache` May 25th 2026, 06:58 The Varnish project has renamed itself to Vinyl Cache. We followed this rename with a new vinyl-cache package. This upgrade results in breaking changes and users are advised to study these changes and how it affects them before following the replacement. All references to "varnish" have been changed to "vinyl" in all binaries and directories. At minimum, users will have to: rename /etc/varnish to /etc/vinyl-cache rename /var/lib/varnish to /var/lib/vinyl-cache fix up ownership of files inside /var/lib/varnish user varnish becomes vinyl group varnish becomes vinyl user varnishlog becomes vinyllog user vcache remains the same disable the old varnish.service and varnishncsa.service systemd units enable the new vinyl-cache.service and vinylncsa.service systemd units Meanwhile, the varnish package has been dropped from [extra]. We're not currently planning to maintain a new varnish package as it's a different upstream project.   https://archlinux.org/news/breaking-changes-for-all-users-of-varnish-which-is-renamed-to-vinyl-cache/

[ACTUALIZACIÓN] #ARCHLINUX. kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention

Arch Linux: Recent news updates

The latest and greatest news from the Arch Linux distribution.

kea >= 1:3.0.3-6 update requires manual intervention Apr 7th 2026, 18:50 The kea package has moved all services to run as a dedicated kea user (instead of root) for improved security. This change requires permission updates to the runtime files created by the kea services. Users upgrading from an existing kea installation should therefore run the following commands after the upgrade: chown kea: /var/lib/kea/* /var/log/kea/* /run/lock/kea/logger_lockfile systemctl try-restart kea-ctrl-agent.service kea-dhcp{4,6,-ddns}.service Accounts that need to interact with kea services files (e.g. lease files under /var/lib/kea, log files under /var/log/kea or configuration files under /etc/kea) should be added to the kea group.   https://archlinux.org/news/kea-1303-6-update-requires-manual-intervention/

[ACTUALIZACIÓN] #ARCHLINUX. iptables now defaults to the nft backend

Arch Linux: Recent news updates

The latest and greatest news from the Arch Linux distribution.

iptables now defaults to the nft backend Apr 5th 2026, 20:28 The old iptables-nft package name is replaced by iptables, and the legacy backend is available as iptables-legacy. When switching packages (among iptables-nft, iptables, iptables-legacy), check for .pacsave files in /etc/iptables/ and restore your rules if needed: /etc/iptables/iptables.rules.pacsave /etc/iptables/ip6tables.rules.pacsave Most setups should work unchanged, but users relying on uncommon xtables extensions or legacy-only behavior should test carefully and use iptables-legacy if required.   https://archlinux.org/news/iptables-now-defaults-to-the-nft-backend/

[ACTUALIZACIÓN] #ARCHLINUX. NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal support; main packages switch to Open Kernel Modules

Arch Linux: Recent news updates

The latest and greatest news from the Arch Linux distribution.

NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal support; main packages switch to Open Kernel Modules Dec 20th 2025, 19:53 With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older. We will replace the nvidia package with nvidia-open, nvidia-dkms with nvidia-open-dkms, and nvidia-lts with nvidia-lts-open. Impact: Updating the NVIDIA packages on systems with Pascal, Maxwell, or older cards will fail to load the driver, which may result in a broken graphical environment. Intervention required for Pascal/older users: Users with GTX 10xx series and older cards must switch to the legacy proprietary branch to maintain support: Uninstall the official nvidia, nvidia-lts, or nvidia-dkms packages. Install nvidia-580xx-dkms from the AUR Users with Turing (20xx and GTX 1650 series) and newer GPUs will automatically transition to the open kernel modules on upgrade and require no manual intervention.   https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-kernel-modules/
