After updating I can’t see my panel anymore (all I can see is my wallpaper) and the super and fn keys are non functional. I can use alt + space to launch apps, but this is making my computer really hard to use. This is on KDE on all of my installed kernels (5.8, 5.7 and 5.4)
Can somebody help me out? I’ve already tried with pamac install plasma, and running killall plasmashell but to no avail.
I’ve had three hard freezes since though, one a day for first 3 days AND my keyboard seems to keep ‘pausing’ when typing.
I’m in the awkward position of just having rebuilt/upgraded my desktop PC, about a month ago, so it’s hard to tease out hardware issues vs software update issues.
I think the freezes were due to a poorly seated graphics card - hopefully I’ve sorted that.
The keyboard though…I can be typing away happily and then suddenly it stops responding and several characters are lost, not buffered.
I’m using an Apple extended aluminium keyboard that’s 11+ years old so it might just be dying. Seemed to start after last stable updates though so I’m throwing this out here in case anyone else has noticed the problem. (And watching the journal while I type.)
I’d put money on it being the age of the keyboard except I also have an 18yo Extended Apple keyboard that’s still going strong =D
Using manjaro Gnome stable.
EDIT: Update:
Still have freezes. This time after waking from sleep.
Get this repeated immediately before freeze

Already a kernel bug report (bugzilla id=201517) for a few years so it would appear this is my hardware rather than recent updates.
Hi there, my issue with this update was the black screen after updating Nvidia Driver non-free. Before I usually was able to clear out all problems in manjaro with this forum, through only reading.
But after this latest update am toally disrupted, cause the whole night yesterday and the one before I had tried to follow different gustos of the solution quest to why the screen went black after dating up from 440xx series to 450xx. http://mhwd install 440xx
Later the day I got all 450xx unqinstalled and “maybe” I’ve also managed to leave none of configs etc or any disturbing code. http://ix.io/2zKI
But it did still not show the normal login splash screen.
So, I researched further till I solved the problem of not having GUI login with enabling the acpid.service.
But then after I checked some settings and restarted it went black again, though the enabled and activated acpid.service was running and all other stuff seemed to be not the cause as well.
I had left the Manjaro stay behind the dual boot and I further used the Windows 10 today.
THen while am writing here I started into Linux Manjaro and the Login screen at least appeared and the grub while updated it stays till now.
But it left me really clueless, so I want to try to brin a little light into the tunnel. After having checked the systemd, the loginctl systemctl, journalctl and so forth, haven’t yet seen enough.
My specs I have added to my sig.
Here some movements, trying to post it chronologically: Start xserver
or
then Ive uninstalled 440xx, checked for the installed rests and checked the available packages for Nvidia
Installed and the startup screen came back.
Lol, I was totallz confused and somehow after a restart nothing worked unless the shell console started with F2 pkus Ctrl and looked up status of acpid.service again
Anyway. If its not working again any day, I will write about it more thoroughly
@philm Is there a plan when this fix will be in an update? I mean I’m not sure if I’d be affected by it as I use XFCE, but it’s glib after all and I use linked directories to a server…
what symptom was it? can’t count how many blackscreen type of issues now appear, but i try softer methods first:
plasmeshell --replace
kwin_x11 --replace
and the brand new loginctl unlock-sessions which is able to recover all apps. I don’t kill apps anymore and i have tons of nvidia issues.
recently noticed this issue of frozen desktop with mouse moving. It’s as easy to replicate as pressing Win+L. I found this in KDE Neon, Kubuntu Groovy, and now Manjaro. All of them have same recent plasma+framework. Also windows get not only emptied as before, but transparent.
The good news is yesterday update of Groovy Beta brought the fix! (and no, eventcalendar didn’t make difference).
```
mhwd --install pci Your450Family
```
where `Your450Family` is obviously one of `video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-440xx-prime` **OR** `video-nvidia-440xx` that you noted above
just how do I know what “family” I have?
By the way, none of the utils are on my system…is that normal?
[melissa@Avalon ~]$ pacman -Q nvidia-450xx-utils
error: package 'nvidia-450xx-utils' was not found
[melissa@Avalon ~]$ pacman -Q nvidia-440xx-utils
