[Stable Update] 2020-08-28 - Kernels, Systemd, PAM, PAMBASE, KDE-git, Deepin, Pamac, Nvidia 450.66, LibreOffice 7.0

Thank you @Fabby
Sorry I forgot to add that, I added a note above:
“My desktop is KDE since the installation of this system”.
I never run two DE in my system, maybe some “tweak or app” installed in the beginning “confuses” the system :thinking:

So, the best thing is to back up the current one and leave only the pacnew in its place as you recommend?

I wish I could prevent the worst, but right now I can’t even connect a usb because it doesn’t recognize them until I reboot the system.

Regards


Solved.
After using *sudo pacdiff, I managed to find and get rid of all those old .pacnew files, then I reboot my system and after a few distressing seconds with the black screen this start with the login screen.

And I see that those new lines that refer to gnome appeared for the first time during this or the previous update.

I also found that some previous update, wreaked havoc on the shadow file; no wonder many people have complained that they cannot enter with their passwords, that new “/etc/shadow.pacnew” comes only with the “root” account:
