after the update I still have the system without sound, and now when starting with the 5.8.11-1 kernel o after a few minutes the system freezes completely being forced to restart by the button
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1
Kernel Version: 5.8.11-1-MANJARO
All good here, so far.
I don’t use any extra KDE Widgets - so I suspect that helps.

The update worked very well in all areas: Gnome 3.36, Kernel 5.8.11-1.
Thank you and have a nice weekend.

I am having the same problem with a black screen after login however in my case it was the Archlinux AUR plasma5-applets-plasma-pstate package plasma widget that was causing problems.
Interestingly I have this installed on 2 laptops, one with only an Intel GPU (integrated with the CPU) and another that is using optimus hybrid nvidia blob, i.e.
<~>-> mhwd -li
> Installed PCI configs:

Warning: No installed USB configs!
If the package plasma5-applets-plasma-pstate is installed then I have the black screen after login problem. Seems like there is an issue with certain plasma widgets on the newest KDE release, reported upstream at plasma-pstate widget causing plasmashell to crash in latest manjaro stable · Issue #63 · jsalatas/plasma-pstate · GitHub.
Everything went well but i am receiving a few inotify_add_watch permission denied errors in my log after journalctl -b -p err..alert.
I notice that 40-max_user_watches.conf no longer exists but 50-max_user_watches.conf is set at 16384.
I’m wondering if the 16384 not being 524288 is the cause of the errors (i am a newb tho).
As far as i can tell it is only log spam 
5.8/440 KDE
At 4am local time, I updated my machines. I run KDE with three database servers running at all times. No problems. I started the download from Pamac, let Pamac deal with the download, made my coffee, walked the dog, rebooted, and all is fine.
Thank you to philm and crew!
Got that dhcpcd warning in Testing update [2020-09-10] and Stable update [2020-09-11].
Even if we set the permissions to 755, it will revert back to 700 after the next reboot. So it’s probably a bug as you mentioned.

Cinnamon 5.4, update went well as usual. Thanks again for a great OS and great maintenance.
Hi, I have KDE Plasma and I have problem with “smart” window placement. Now every window of e.g. Doplhin stacks over old window. And also it starts remember windows position, which I do not want. Do anyone know solution please?
Earlier I said I have no issues after the update, BUT I have just noticed that due to the update I have lost the Nvidia display port audio output so my display HAS NO sound or even volume slider (chanell) since the update… so I have audio now only on my headset but not on the display… 
So this is what ROLLING type distro means in real life, now I can see in this forum, all the issues, random unexpected things happen. I am new to Linux and it was a good lesson about rolling vs LTE. I dont think I will can stand such 1-2 times every month.
Guys, if I switch to LTE kernel in Manjaro than I will not receive updates so frequently? How frequently I would receive updates on LTE and how likely they break something vs on this rolling? If you are on LTE Mannjaro than the updates you get are slower and widely, well tested? Maby I better reinstall the PC with LTE Manjaro or some #buntu is for me like Mint or Debian testing (stable does not install on my power PC with nvme and Nvidia RTX only on my older PCs)…?
See the volume panel in the screenshot, there was an NVIDIA HDMI or what slider there before the update and I had sound on my monitor but not anymore…

UPDATE:
Since I updated this PC yesterday night I didnt make any changes, it was mainly off. Now when I booted up and noticed this audio issue and left this post, so after that I rebooted and now the audio issue is just gone, the HDMI output slider is back! Just so, randomly! But at the same time I feel like the PC automatically or randomly or so returned to some earlier state…? Becaue I had like 5+ open tabs in Firedox before reboot but after reboot it opened with just 2 tabs an ddifferent ones than I had open before reboot…
What the heck is going on on this PC…? It is like I have zero control on it.

To get Plasma to stop remembering window placements by default:
Edit the file: ~⁄.config⁄kdeglobals
Under the [General] heading, add the following line:
AllowKDEAppsToRememberWindowPositions=false
Save. I think you’ll have to logout for it to take effect.

LTS only relates to the kernel updates.
The branches (testing/stable etc) relate to the software updates and generally stable releases every week or two (maybe slower if major updates are coming).
The beauty of rolling distros over things like ubuntu is that bug fixes also happen quicker.
I’d suggest opening a thread with any major issues you have (that are not shown in the update threads) as there are a lot of wise users here.
Glad the slider is back.
I cant explain the tabs though firefox did just get a version update from 80 to 81…

Did you reboot between your system update and your first issue post?
Yes I did. I ran the update yesterday night and it went smoothly, than first thing I did reboot straight after the install has finished (to make sure all fine). Than used the PC night time here to talk on forum and than did shut it down normally. Booted in the morning for 20mi use and did shut it down again normally. And here we are after my today evening boot I noticed this audio issue. I have not used Timeshift after or until the update.
Everything seems fine after upgrade, but I’ve noticed following:
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
● user@120.service loaded failed failed User Manager for UID 120
Any ideas?
How do I revert back? It’s breaking some applications for me, to be specific optimus-manager-qt. PLease help!
I have the same issue (have had it for a few months now but I haven’t found the exact cause yet. What I have found is that if I manually restart the service after my system is up is starts up just fine. I didn’t get any response last time I posted about it though here on the forums and google went all kinds of directions with it that none led me to an actual solution more just people asking about it.
sytemctl start user@120.service
will start it up without any issues for me but why it is failing initially I have no idea.
I’ve found that it is a special service and it sounds like it might be important but everything has worked fine with it failing for months now.

Searches for my specific error in the log only came up with this from a couple years ago and had no solution.

Thx! This solution works! But I think, that this must be some bug, because before it works fine.
