[Stable Update] 2020-10-19 - Kernels, Nvidia 455, Browsers,

VMware and Steam broke with the kernel update, but the fixes were somewhat simple; all I needed to do was install patches for the VMware host modules and also install the new NVIDIA 455 drivers. Scaling issues from the NVIDIA driver install were easily fixed by forcing font DPI to 96 and rebooting.

There was a package conflict with nvidia. Resolved after updating mirrors and updating.
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu

Thanks to @OrichuaTheFurry for the fix with Steam. It wouldn’t launch on the latest NVIDIA 450 driver, but replacing with the NVIDIA 455 driver did the trick for me.

Would be sweet to have Vivaldi included in the official repositories, and not having to add a repo or build from AUR, please!! :upside_down_face:

Thank you and have a wonderful day! :smile:

@nightmare-2021 can you have a look at nvidia 450 please? Seems like another oversight, the lib32 and opencl isn’t on par with the current driver version apparently Manjaro - Branch Compare
Everything is at 450.80.02 but lib32-nvidia-450xx-utils and opencl-nvidia-450xx are at 450.66 probably causing the issues with Steam not launching and other games not starting either.

Make sure you have nvidia driver installed. I had the same SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred error message until I replaced nvidia 450 with 455 on one of the computers I manage.

Also, nvidia does not currently support kernel 5.9, and isn’t expected to for at least a month. It may work for some things, but other functionality is broken. Suggest you use kernel 5.8 in the meantime.

After Update Steam doesn´t start.
I tried it in bash:

“$ steam
Running Steam on manjarolinux 20.1.2 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Pins up-to-date!
Steam client’s requirements are satisfied”

Trying to update my manjaro-keyring along with installing/updating some other packages but there seems to be a PGP key issue which isn’t allowing the updates to go through.

Packages (1) manjaro-keyring-20200929-1
Total Installed Size: 0.16 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: 0.00 MiB
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y

error: key “CAA6A59611C7F07E” could not be looked up remotely
error: required key missing from keyring
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Once it gave me this error it moved on trying to install the packages:

Yes.
As @Fabby said, remove the 5.7 kernel, because it is EOL now (EOL= End of Life), you don’t need it anymore, and if you want, install the 5.4 kernel (that LTS kernel=Long Time Suport).
Btw, it is advisable to have two kernels installed.

Replacing the 450 Nvidia drivers to the latest 455 drivers solved my problem.

@itsKia2: Try this

  1. Remove old (and possibly broken) keys by entering this command:

    sudo rm -r /etc/pacman.d/gnupg

  2. Reinstall keyrings including the latest keys:

    sudo pacman -Sy gnupg archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring

  3. Initialize the pacman keyring:

    sudo pacman-key --init

  4. Load the signature keys:

    sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro

  5. Refresh and update the signature keys:

    sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

  6. Clear out the software packages downloaded during the aborted installation (optional):

    sudo pacman -Sc

Thanks for your response, but installing nvidia driver 455 fixed my problem.
