Error while loading conda entry point: codad-libmamba-solver

Question

Complete newbie to linux and all that stuff, so please bear with me. Installed Linux Mint in a dual boot system with windows 11 today, so that i can code with VSCodium on Linux and still keep my windows 11 system i had before. Now i got this exact error:

Error while loading conda entry point: 
conda-libmamba-solver (cannot import name 'Spinner' from 'conda.common.io' 
(/home/<MyName>/.local/conda/lib/python3.12/site-packages/conda/common/io.py))

Everything still seems to work, but i am a little anxious since i only installed it today and had some problems setting everything up so that i can code with python in vscodium in peace. Can i just ignore that or did i break something important.

I already tried deleting said solver and use the classic one, but the error still appeared.

Thanks in advance!!

You can revert to a previous version (eg. 25.7.0) of conda like this:

conda install -n base -c conda-forge conda=25.7.0 --solver classic

If you then wait for a later version of conda, you can, without changing anything, test a desired new update or install using the --dry-run argument, like so:

conda update -n base -c conda-forge --dry-run conda
