Latest update

[Eugo]

Just updated (sudo pacman -Syu) and everything seems normal, or rather the same as it was before.

So... is there something I should have noticed, but didn't?

I don't know the answer but these might help you to get it
Phosh or Plasma?
When was your last upgrade before this?
Is there something you expected and it did not happen?

There are lot of "invisible" updates which just fix something low-level stuff

Ah... I keep forgetting about plasma... Plasma is a brand of biscuits here, that's for kids . Phosh it is.
The last one... about a month ago.
Expected? Well to have some other notification when a message arrives. So far it's only the blue led, and if I notice it, I noticed. Or for the alarm to actually wake up the phone (see below). Or for the maps to know where I am .
Yup, I guessed the under-the-hood stuff would be most of it, but then it doesn't hurt to ask whether I was looking at it the wrong way.

below: just tested the alarm again and it does light the blue led... after I turn on the phone. No sound even then, just a notification „you missed the alarm“. No sound, nothing, and the phone remains fully suspended.
