Hello guys, all went fine kernel 5.4 xfce.

One question:
1. Where can I find a list of manjaro packages and their dependencies ?? like there is for arch

I have one orphan package software-center-web-jak(Install Software from Manjaro discover service).
Do I remove it or what ?? That’s way I want to see list of packages.

Thanks.

Thanks, it was indeed! Glad it’s not an actual bug.
Thank you a lot!

After this update(KDE, kenerl from 5.8 to 5.9.8-2), optimus manager can’t change to hybrid mode or Nvidia mode. Thought some thing wrong with Nvidia driver, what should I do? Currently I can’t change the lightness and can’t light up my second screen which may due to this problem.

What’s the recommended course of action if the last upgrade broke the system? Upgrade and hope for the best or wait for help?

[verminator]

With the amount of information you’ve given, pick “Upgrade and hope”.

Optimus Manager failed to NVidia After Update 20.2

After this update(KDE, kenerl from 5.8 to 5.9.8-2), optimus manager can’t change to hybrid mode or Nvidia mode. Thought some thing wrong with Nvidia driver, what should I do? Currently I can’t change the lightness and can’t light up my second screen which may due to this problem.

You just did. qgnomeplatform 0.6.90+4+gee864df-1 is pushed to all branches.

@GokuSan

I have one orphan package software-center-web-jak

You can safely remove it. It was added as a dependency for manjaro-hello in error initially.

Still black screen after applying this upgrade.

@verminator was being sarcastic because you provided absolutely no information about your issue. Here is what you need to do in order to get help getting your system back up and running.

1. Read this link on how to provide the information needed to assist you.

How to provide good information

When asking questions in the forum it is most helpful to everyone for you to provide some basic information. When sharing information to either give or receive assistance, please be aware of the following: 1 ) In almost every situation not explicitly involving appearance, Text is preferred over Images. 2 ) When providing code or text output, please format it so the content is easy to read. How to Format “Code” in the Forum Its easy to make your text and code easy on the eyes Firs…

2. Create a new thread in the support category (go to categories select support, then select the area which is most applicable for your issue. If you aren’t sure then post it in support/General to start with. Make sure you provide the information discussed in the above link about “How to provide good information”

By doing the above I’m sure the community will be able to help you get back up and running and is far more likely to have your system back up and running than going the Wait and hope route.

I asked for a general procedure, I got a general answer and that’s okay. If somebody isn’t serious, there’s no need to answer. I detailed my problem in the separate thread, like it’s supposed to be.

No problems with the update of Manjaro KDE on my custom built desktop (Intel processor, AMD graphics).

Yet another rock solid stable update (Gnome, 5.9 kernel, nvidia 455)

Thank you to the manjaro team and all of the community that work so hard to continually bring everyone one of the most stable and up-to-date linux distribution out there!

Cinnamon, 5.4, all good. thanks for your work!

I am having an issue where the login manager takes an increasable time to load, if I wait it will load but it takes way to long to be comfortable with!

[hopimet]

Just to confirm that kernel 5.9 + nvidia-390xx works fine.

[AlanP]

The Backlight problem (can’t control the brightness) is still present with the 5.9.10 kernel. The ‘i915.enable_dpcd_backlight=0’ option is still necessary to avoid this problem.

[zimudec]

It also happened to me, but I fixed it as follows on my Ideapad laptop:

• Edit the file /etc/X11/mhwd.d/intel.conf
• Inside under Section "Device", I added Option "Backlight" "ideapad"

Thank you for your efforts!

Hello, after I updated last night, I cannot boot anymore.
After I entered grub screen and choose the default manjaro entry it went blank. Just blank, no output or anything. For note, I disable silent boot.
But I was able to boot using initramfs-fallback (Kernel: 5.9.10-1) option.

I have nvidia laptop, I am still using video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-440x-prime does it have something to do with that? I am a little afraid to change it to 550x. Is it a must?

this is output for mkinitcpio

sudo mkinitcpio -P                                                                                                                                              Sel 24 Nov 2020 05:21:11
