We pushed some security updates to stable .
Grub 2.04-11.1
Fixes Boot-Hole issue.
You need to re-install grub on your system to complete the security fix: Bios-MBR , UEFI Systems

After this update, i was unable to boot due to fail dependency on /home and start in emergency mode
Need to do a fsck on /home result in clearing all chromium data in order to boot.

Hi,
Everything went fine for me, except for PPSSPPQt (not a big deal though, I don’t use it these days) which crashes after a few seconds (core dumped error in terminal), I know this is due to hybrid nvidia-amd drivers because it did work fine with video-nvidia-440xx and the issue actually showed up with video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-440xx-prime, in both prime and normal mode
A lot of packages don’t have updated PKGBUILDs on gitlab
e.g.
- gtk3 (1:3.24.22-1) - Projects · Arch packages / extra / gtk3 · GitLab has 1:3.24.21-1
- mesa (20.1.5-1) - Projects · Arch packages / extra / mesa · GitLab has 20.1.3-1
and many more
@hadogenes you can always switch to another branch 
to get some newer Packages 
and help Manjaro developers out if you found some issues.
You shouldn’t have any problems…it was the same here for me in so much as I was informed that the new Nvidia driver would be installed. But as I’m running an integrated Intel graphics unit it changes nothing.
I’m trying to rebuild some system packages from sources, but cannot find the sources.
Thanks again Manjaro Team for a smooth update on my Cinnamon box (kernel 5.4) and I just wanted to add that I had no problem updating the NVIDIA driver: I used the graphical version of MHWD, uninstalling first the 440 driver, then installed the 450 one, rebooted et voilà!
Everything seems fine, NVIDIA settings shows the right version, I just have to test it now with a game
everything went well yesterday, today i couldnt boot into X / GDM after i had installed the 450 drivers yesterday, manually forcing a reinstall of the video-nvidia-450xx package with mhwd and rebooting again fixed it
weird, considering i installed the new one and uninstalled the old one yesterday and everything went well after a reboot
Thank you for the explanation. Yes you are right even the LTS kernels are having the issue. Since it is my main workstation, I would not be risking compiling new patch kernels. Appreciate the effort, two questions
- When can we expect the kernel patch to release?
- Is the workaround kernel level only? Or creating modprobe files with certain commands would help?
Working fine on KDE. System feels relatively faster after this update.

All went good on kde linux 57! But yea regarding nvidia driver, it stayed on 440xx . SO I did removed it and I rebooted . The kernel driver for graphics kicked in after reboot. Then I tried installing on mhwd in settings. But it didn’t install and dialog showing the installation popped up absolutely doing nothing.
So I tried terminal option. Install mosetting and the 450xx and I rebooted. Boom am back with 450 kicking in hot and cool! Thank ya manjaro!
Somehow my Manjaro account was deleted and I had to sign-up again. Strange! Maybe some moderator could explain why did this happen? Fortunately I was allowed to use the same username during the sign-up process.
Now to the point. This was a flawless update. The new Nvidia 450 driver seems to have solved a long time issue during shutdown.

I use an Asus ROG Optimus Laptop with KDE DE
A very big thank you Manjaro team

I tried also Nvidia-450xx but it did not fix the problem.
journalctl shows that xfwm4 process crashes - the hint for developers what the update regressed.
Unfortunately my AMD based Toshiba netbook boot process stalls with the 5.8 kernel, I have to select 5.7 or earlier kernel from the GRUB boot menu to boot the system, which then works fine.
Everything fine after the update except the already mentioned issue with ksystemlog not starting due unfulfilled systemd dependency.
Thanks to the manjaro team for the long lasting good work!
Xfce, Kernel 4.14: all went fine.
But there was no upgrade for Firefox (my mirrors are all up-to-date).
In facts, on the branch compare Manjaro - Branch Compare Firefox is not updated.
Update and reboot went fine as long as things remained with kernel 5.7 (Xfce, nvidia 418xx). However, some firmware went wrong when installing kernel 5.8.1 with Manjaro Settings Manager GUI. Building the 5.8.1 initcpio complained about possibly missing firmware for module xhci-pci:

Booting into 5.8 yields a functioning system and desktop. Didn’t test USB behavior yet.
System information, taken after booting into 5.7 again (since I wanted lspci not to be hampered by the 5.8 missing firmware?):

EDIT: I should state explicitly that building the initcpio for kernels 5.7 and lower does not throw the message regarding xhci-pci. And I should state that my laptop has USB 3.0 ports.

In fact, you will not break anything if you compile your kernel, since you will be using the Manjaro repositories to get the PKGBUILD file and kernel parameters, so in the output you will get exactly the same kernel as the Manjaro maintainers provide you. Right now I am using my compiled kernels while dealing with this problem.
In general, the problem is caused by one of five commits in the “patch_realtek.c” file in the kernel source. I tried to use different options in modprobe that I found on the Internet, but nothing worked.
Now I have removed all these 5 commits from the 5.8.2 kernel, and the sound from 3.5 jack audio works. At first glance, none of these commits should have broken the sound, but my tests showed the opposite. And this is weird.
Since no one is particularly concerned with this problem, I don’t know if it will be fixed in the kernel at all. The easiest option now is to take a fresh kernel, cut out the problematic code from it, compile, install and use it without updating it. That’s all I can say at the moment.

After this update (or the 2020-08-16 update, I’m not sure) mame stopped working for me. After installing lua53 everything was fine again.
