I was afraid too, but even as the cosmic noob that I am, I succeeded to update it.

Had issues with
sshfs

System did not boot into X as I had an entry in fstab to mount another local PC folder using sshfs. Removed fstab entry to fix the issue.

conky-manager stopped work after last update 5.7.9 -1
it worked fine on 5.6.19-2
Has anyone solved this problem?

google-chrome is not a repo package.
I assume you are referring to the AUR package … which is … well, the AUR - nothing to do with manjaro.

I have the same issue. Using kernel 5.8.0-2 on the stable branch. As soon as I updated to Manjaro 20.1 Mikah conky-manager stopped working.

see this for conky

same problem on Manjaro KDE (Linux 5.7.14-1-MANJARO):

[h264_nvenc @ 0x5579d3274ac0] Driver does not support the required nvenc API version. Required: 10.0 Found: 9.1
[h264_nvenc @ 0x5579d3274ac0] The minimum required Nvidia driver for nvenc is (unknown) or newer

All went well with my update. I was slightly concerned before installing new kernel (5.7.14) as I have an encrypted drive. However there was no issue.

I’ve back to 5.6.19-2 (been luky to make a buckup by timeshift).

5.6 is end of life, if I was you I’d remove it.

I upgraded my machine in daily use, everything went flawlessly.

After the update and a reboot, I got a wired issue, where the application window freezes but I can move my pointer, access the menu but I am unable to open other applications via the GUI. But able to open them up via terminal. I had to kill all the applications. I again rebooted it’s working fine now.
I run gnome.

Couldn’t update with sudo pacman -Syu for the same reason, files exist in filesystem. Tried via Package Manager and the installation was successful. Got a message that some files were backed up somewhere, now I don’t remember a thing, should pay more attention in the future.

All seems to works fine (Package Manager icon is still black) and grub version is 2.04~manjaro. Was that supposed to happen by itself, I was under the impression that I had to do it manually?

yes I know it’s an AUR package but in this case it seems to be a pamac issue w/ google-chrome it is the only aur package which is marked as orphaned … or should we stop using aur packages now?

AUR packages get orphaned when a maintainer drops it.
It is then (hopefully) picked up by another maintainer.
Many AUR helpers report such package status.
On the other hand … google-chrome is not currently orphaned.

I love the fact about the stable updates that it’s being tested first and then released. I rather wait a few weeks or even a month, and don’t worry about trying to fix a broken system! Updated 6 machines (KDE) without any issues. Thank you Manjaro team!

wine-staging 5.14 doesn’t seem to work at all. Nothing seems to work (via Wine) that used to work before.

Can’t even create a new fresh wineboot “bottle” ffs.

downgraded back to wine-staging 5.8 where everything worked semi well and seems to work semi well still now.

discord 0.0.11-1 seems to be also more crashy than before. Sadly there is no way to downgrade this because it automatically upgrades itself on launch.
