Which Desktop Environment are you running? If you are running KDE have you tried the solution provided above?

@redsolver

Full Solution: rm -rf ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.eventcalendar

The event calendar widget doesn’t work with the new Plasma version.

@philm I think this should be added to the Known issues and solutions section because it makes Plasma unusable for everyone who has the Event Calendar Widget installed (which is quite popular)

Just found [SOLVED] Desktop has gone black after upgrade / Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues / Arch Linux Forums which refers to this issue

’m no longer able to copy files from my NAS to my internal drives. The message is: “Error when getting information for file descriptor. Numerical result out of range.” Some symbolic links to the NAS broke as well.

This appears to be g_file_query_info on ro file system: Numerical result out of range (#2189) · Issues · GNOME / GLib · GitLab, so it’s a GLib rather than a Manjaro issue. Posting this more as an FYI for the Manjaro team and anyone else who might have problems.

@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…

[robertzaku111]

no, try this:
sudo killall -9 plasmashell

[brainbits]

No issues here, thank you!

[nadiva]

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).

Went just fine on KDE (intel/nvidia desktop) and XFCE (dell laptop)

Hi all,
What do I do with this?

```
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
error: package 'nvidia-440xx-utils' was not found

@GaVenga

Ask your mother

Great, have a shovel handy? I may need to dig her up.
I asked how to do it the Linux way…without having to consult a medium…but thanks anyway…

@ButterflyMelissa

mhwd --install pci Your450Family

mhwd -l will give you available configs for your system.

[ButterflyMelissa]

Thank ou so much
Melissa

[GaVenga]

Does me sorry, I knew that not…
I do not want to dig my parents up, too

(Corectrl is a handy tool btw…)

[ButterflyMelissa]

Thanks
There was no way you had to know. Was just a…“weird” answer

Metoo (I am a old white male german leftist)

Has mbb solved your question?? corectrl is similar to cpu-x - but give more details of your system,
its a graphical tool, most puritans like inxi on the command-line…

Same here, xfce, autologin stopped working since the last update. Did you manage to fix it?

I followed all the steps here from the archlinux wiki (I am not allowed to post links) but to no avail.
I even did a fresh install in a Virtual Machine and compared /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and /etc/pam.d/lightdm between the VM installation and my installation and they were exactly the same.

Any tipps here?

[PeterM]

Big Problems with nvidia 450.
See here in german: Nvidia 450 Treiber installieren

[jumi]

hi, try to put in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:

autologin-user-timeout=1

with this you avoid at least typing the password. It is the best I could find without being able to completely solve the autologin…
