[Stable Update] 2020-12-30 - Kernels, KDE, Cinnamon, LibreOffice, Python 3.9, Mesa 20.3.1

Grub Customizer was removed during upgrade. For some reason it conflicts with the new version of GRUB.

It has been that way for a while.
PS - grub-customizer is considered broken/dangerous/incompatible.

If you must use it (please dont) then you will have to use another package like grub-vanilla

Installed linux510 before upgrade and rebooted. Everything went fine! Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for the info.
What’s wrong with Grub Customizer? Been using it for many years without any problems.

I faced the same problem.
Just uninstall nvidia-455xx-utils and install nvidia-utils via Pamac.
After that, install the driver via Manjaro Settings Manager.

Kernel 5-10 refuses to boot; stuck at black screen after grub selection at “NVME” prompt

@Pcwolf Do you have a LTS Kernel as fallback (5.4)? Try that.

Possible to go into TTY? crtl + alt + F2?

5.4 is a must :wink:

With the mentioned command I installed the Nvidia drivers.

yep, if you have newer hardware too (for troubleshooting like booting into the system, if it doesn’t work with the stable kernel)

I have another problem:
If I try the command pacman -rvk3 then console writes Konnte alpm-Bibliothek nicht initialisieren.

Many Thanks; everything works great (Gnome, Kernel 5.9.16, Thinkpad). Happy New Year everyone.

Thank you! I had the same problem, and your solution worked.

I have the same error message, too. I was actually getting that error in the tty. I would love to know if we can delete the file, or just not worry about it or what. I would rather clean it up now than have to deal with it 6 months from now.

When will there be a new iso with Linux 5.10?

Same here:

[sum@ordi1 ~]$ sudo pacman -rvk3
erreur : l’initialisation de la bibliothèque alpm a échoué

@nam1962 @Keruskerfuerst

No problem there … thats simply not a valid command.

I think you are looking for paccache

(ex: paccache -rvk3)

@nam1962 what are you doing running random commands [with sudo] others post without understanding them?
You should drop that habit yesterday :wink:

Is obviously better (I only had my first coffee on the first attempt)

Updating to Linux kernel 5.10 borked my Bluetooth driver in KDE Plasma (says “no adapters found” when opening the tool). Was working fine on 5.9, but since that’s EOL I’m back to using the LTS 5.4 kernel until 5.10 gets fingers crossed patched.

Why does an addition to PulseAudio conflict with PulseAudio itself?
