Thanks for the update.
Xfce with RX 5500 XT and amdgpu driver here.
After the new update I had a black screen freeze when I started my pc the next day. Switching kernel with the bootloader from 5.10 to 5.9 fixed it for me.
BUT I thought I follow the solution where you have to edit grub and put the amdgpu.dc=0 line in so I could use 5.10 again. I used the nano editor for it as discribed. I did “sudo update-grub” and rebooted.
But then I couldn’t get to the terminal or tty because of a freeze with graphical glitches before login screen.
I had to boot to the console to edit the grub file with nano again. For that I googled about how to boot to console/tty by editing the kernel parameters from the grub menu (I’m not allowed to include a link obviously) and followed the instructions from the first google suggestion. Then I did “sudo nano /etc/default/grub” and removed amdgpu.dc=0 again. That didn’t fixed it even for 5.9. Still freeze with all 3 available kernels in the grub menu. But strangely removing “quiet” and amdgpu.dc=0" fixed it all.
Finally for me the solution was booting from grub directly to the console/tty, then “sudo nano /etc/default/grub” then removing “quiet” and “amdgpu.dc=0” from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line and then “sudo update-grub”, reboot. Some weird log info…restart again.
Now it’s all good and working with kernel 5.10.
I hope this helps anyone with a similar problem because it drove me crazy
I have DELL (Intel + nVidia Quadro NVS 135M). Installed the 340xx driver (dkms 5.4) according to the manual in the forum header. Everything works fine. Thanks philm. Great activity for the New Year. If not for this activity, I would have had to drink a lot of vodka))
Is anyone else seeing a huge spike in power usage? I have a ThinkPad X1E. My idle power draw was around 5W, now it’s 25W when CPU is idle. I upgraded to the latest Nvidia 455 drivers, but running on intel graphics through optimus-manager.
Kernel 5.9 still boots without problems. With kernel 4.10 I do not get a solution.
To investigate the matter I made an entry for 5.10 in the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg from an entry for 5.9. Unfortunately without success. The same error occurs.
A diff with a backup of the file and /boot/grub/grub.cfg, re-created with grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, shows no further differences.
I can’t upload any pictures yet.

My WLAN card is no longer working since the update (no wifi symbol although the card seems to be recognized in the hardware configuration). I tried to switch the driver from linux54-broadcom-wl to broadcom-wl-dkms, but it didn’t help.
If the normal case is that the filesystem should NOT be mounted as Read-Only.
Then why does the new config define the variable named GRUB_ROOT_FS_RO as true?
Given your explanation, defining that variable as false by default would make more sense.
The update totally broke my installation. After updating I got a black screen with only the mouse cursor visible.
Tried every solution I could find for the same issue but nothing changes, I get multiple errors (kwin_x11, plasmashell, krunner) and the clicking the see details button says a lot of R300.dri.so or something like that, so I assumed something went bad on my end.
Then I decided to do a clean install and can’t get past the welcome screen… it stays there and can see the boot process in the background (it stops after starting SDDM); trying to move the window makes the screen to go messy and closing it does nothing.
So for now, I’ve lost access to hundreds of GBs of data I thought they’d be safe since I’m running the STABLE branch…because I can’t even boot the live USB because it has the same freakin bug.! 20210103_190341|375x500
it just installs linux510-nvidia-390xx, but before the update it had installed nvidia-455xx, and my friend with a 1070TI also running Manjaro can run the same command and 455xx.
Python 3.9 broke everything relating to steam; protontricks and installing stuff for windows games – apparently AUR python-vdf and Valve official upstream doesn’t support yet python 3.9. (was stupid enough to delete compatdata for a game that I was tinkering with to get running and now even installing vc_redist.x86.exe (vcrun2019 ?) or something just fails in setting up new protonprefix…)
Then downgrading python to 3.8.6 broke pamac AUR parts and yay AUR parts and other stuff (complaining about missing module “setuptools” in setup.py).
And also made downgrade funky but remained functional enough to “downgrade” python back to 3.9.
python 3.8.6 and downgrade complains about missing pacman_mirrors
