Update seemed to go flawlessly.

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.

[jaegar]

The update didn’t go as flawlessly for me. I have a problem when login in unrelated to the solutions posted. Created a post for it.

[LA-MJ]

Because packaging is hard.

Thank you for your suggestion, unfortunately it didn’t work

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.

http://ix.io/2zKI

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

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

[verminator]

@slomomojo

’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).

[nerfolt]

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…

[mbb]

@ButterflyMelissa

mhwd --install pci Your450Family

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

[ButterflyMelissa]

Thank ou so much
Melissa
