Changing the rendering backend from OpenGL 2.0 to OpenGL 3.1 seems to solve the issue. For other settings, scale method is set to accurate and Tearing prevention (vsync) is set to Automatic.
I also received the update to Pamac 10.0.0-1 , today 2020-12-19; is no longer able to check updates from AUR packages: the previous release of Pamac, instead, was able, was indicating me that there were some AUR packages to update.
We have downgraded pamac back to 9.5.12, however kept pamac-dev on the higher version. People can still switch to testing to see if there are issues. If there are some, please report, as we developer won’t have time to read the forums.
So if the packages are downgraded in the repo, should I downgrade what I already upgraded, or wait to see if their are new 10 packages in the near future?
Also for KDE users (if they upgraded before the downgrade) , as discussed in the pamac forum section the tray indicator gets a replacement called pamac-tray-icon plasma, and you can remove the other one.
I simply checked “Enable downgrade” in Pamac’s preferences under the “Advanced” tab, refreshed my databases, and let Pamac take care of itself after that. So now I’m back on Pamac 9 until they get 10 ready again. I’m actually really thankful for the downgrade feature for this very reason, and I’m a little embarrassed I ignored it for so long.
I got problem in my Manjaro Gnome Stable after yesterday pacman update 9.5.12-1 → 10.0.0-1. Manjaro Hello did not open or react in any way except uninstall/re-install. Perhaps something else did not work properly, I don’t know.
I made pacman downgrade (from 10 back to 9) as you advised and now Manjaro Hello works again OK.
Question: Is it safe to keep pacman setting ‘Enable downgrade’ in force after this or should I disable it ?? Does this setting downgrade something else besides (or in addition to) pacman ?
It is safe to keep it enabled. I usually recommend enabling that as part of the initial manjaro install for my users. Usually if a package version is lower in the repos than it is on your computer, there’s a reason, and you are generally advised to keep the packages on your system in sync with those in the repos.
as doing downgrade, pamac have disappeared from repos and only -dev version have remained
