I’m totally confused what’s installed and used here:
GT 710 graphics card available (this is true)
the available configuration is video-nvidia-390xx
video-nvidia is installed
packages for 455xx are installed
Uhm, what?! The current status is that X, lightdm and XFCE start and graphics look fine so basically I shouldn’t complain, but the above just doesn’t make sense to me.
where does video-nvidia-390xx come from?
how do I remove video-nvidia-390xx? (I assume it has no use here)
why doesn’t it say video-nvidia-455xx?
is video-nvidia the official representation of video-nvidia-455xx? (I hope it isn’t as the version number would be interesting to see IMHO)
Can anyone please explain this to me? Maybe something is broken here?
And I found the culprit! It’s Mesa, I installed another distro (kde neon, to salvage my data) and today I got a round of Mesa updates and guess what? The same freakin bug! Only mouse cursor and black background .
So I guess most of the gpu related issues may come from a botched Mesa release.
well after a lot recurring crashes, I found that this line always repeats itself…
and after googling those drm:gfx errors it seems like a “know” problem with GPU drivers called by Mesa. Did anybody else experience this kind of crash?
@Enigmaxg2
may I ask if you do have something alike my drm:gfx or drm:amdgpu… in your logs? Maybe we are on the same boat with our Mesa related crahes??..??

After this update, Firefox has a weird problem. It does not show any space between words in tab titles, popup menus and even in the text of the preference pages. Also, typing a search item in the address bar does not show spaces although after hitting enter, the spaces show up in duckduckgo search engine.
Any idea?
[edit] Here are some details of my laptop:
Now a day later I’m a bit confused on how to proceed. It asks me to update “manjaro-release” to 20.2-1 (despite that already being current version) telling me that the lib32, lib32 utils, mhwd and opencl from Nvidia driver 455.45.01 have to be retrieved (this is the only thing it lists). Is it save to update these packages (knowing I have to stay at 430xx), do I have to update the manjaro-release package and rollback the drivers to 430xx or should I ignore the update?
And if I need to keep it this way, how can I avoid having to roll back my drivers after every future update? For every kernel update it was mentioned, that’s ok. But for every normal update would be a pain in the ass often. Can I put the manjaro-release package in pacmans ignore list or will it also contain other things with future updates?
At the boot, I’m getting the “Failed to start Network Manager”, “Dependency failed for Network Manager Wait Online”, “Failed to start User Login Management”, “Failed to start Load Kernel Module drm.”
I’ve been updating the Manjaro on regular basis.
