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

Nope! All it did is legit marked the system as “up to date”, but has not updated anything at all…

And the logs says that now many system components are missing…
Hopefully i’ll reboot, it will fail to boot, then I will enter a chroot environment to merge a previous snapshot and to update remotely with an ISO having a previous version of pamac…

Not a big deal, just a small annoyance…

I have a 3-boot laptop with each Manjaro in Unstable, and another laptop in Stable. I mix maybe between them, I saw a lot of Pamac upgrades lately. Dunno if it could be related.
Lots of Haskell and Python too.

I just successfully upgraded the system following the procedure I stated! :partying_face:

Seems to be a sort of bug with the newer pamac version…

I had a kernel panic on shutdown after update, replace journalist, restart and removed mhwd-nvidia-340x.
After start all seems work well except one little issue;I have this error proc: Bad value for 'hidepid' on dmesg.
The kernel is 5.4.

Hi!

I had this issue, and the suggested workaround solved it.

rebuild-detector notified me of vmware-horizon-client needing a rebuild but after the upgrade it won’t build anymore due to missing sha256sum validation of vmware-bundle.eclass. EDIT: I had to clean the AUR cache to rebuild it properly.

Everything else went fine for me.

Many thanks and Happy 2021!

Have the same error running mhwd

For me it’s harmless and looking for a AMD video card anyway.

It’s not an error, it’s a log message you can safely ignore.
Probably, you are using new systemd on old kernel.

If you want to fix it, upgrade your kernel or downgrade your systemd.

I ran the update in the terminal. Everything went well until I attempted to run terminator. It refused to start. Even after I uninstalled it, ran a clean, and reinstalled it, it still would not start. Finally, I attempted to start it from another terminal. I got the following message. Thanks for a great distro.

The warring is related to the line in the /etc/default/grub added some time ago. It allows to use systemd-fsck for filesystems check:

# Uncomment to ensure that the root filesystem is mounted read-only so that
# systemd-fsck can run the check automatically
GRUB_ROOT_FS_RO=true

Upgrade the terminator:

`sudo pacman -U https://mirror.f4st.host/archlinux/community/os/x86_64/terminator-2.0.1-1-any.pkg.tar.zst`

In case it has not been mentioned. I had to add this key -

gpg --recv-keys EB4F9E5A60D32232BB52150C12C87A28FEAC6B20

to get rebuild-detector to install. Check out the comments from the aur page.

[Solved]

Well, didn’t go so well. Probably my fault, but not sure.

I think Kernel 5.8 was removed and was updated to 5.9.

Kernel 5.9 gives me black screen after grub. Boot with 5.4, no problem. Saw some talk in this thread about nvidia so removed those. Then removed 5.9 and reboot, and this in order to install 5.10 instead.

Tried booting into 5.4 again, black screen after grub on this one. Can’t ctrl-alt-f2 and no success getting into tty with the systemd.xxz.zzz (forget the exact text; replaces quiet) edit in grub. Recovery mode is a black screen as well.

Should I start a new thread? I’ll continue to Google my way out of this, either way.

Update 1:
Seeing what I can do with manjaro-chroot and mhwd (mhwd -a pci free 0300) and mhwd-kernal to install 5.10 etc. I had to run pacman -S mhwd to get the mhwd’s installed.

Update 2:
Free driver didn’t fix the issue but, running mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 seems to have fixed my problem. I’m now on 5.10 and have removed 5.9 and its nvidia driver.

This makes sense, as I think removing the nvidia drivers is why I got the black screen, at least the second time around with 5.4 (the initial 5.9 may be the issue noted up thread.)

Anyway, not exactly sure what happened but, I think I’m back in business. Thanks!

Note:
These wiki were helpful:
GRUB/Restore the GRUB Bootloader - Manjaro (talks about manjaro-chroot in the context of restoring GRUB but, the Manual Chroot part can be a useful guide for using manjaro-chroot with mhwd & mhwd-kernal; note my update 1 if you don’t have mhwd installed.)
Manjaro Kernels - Manjaro (guide on installing/removing/listing Kernals from terminal)

No, you didn’t. rebuild-detector is in our repos now. Perhaps your mirrors aren’t up to date?

Then why was it recommended to install it with the link going to the AUR? :thinking:

I have not done the update yet as it says to do the install before the update.

Same for me with kernel 5.10.

Gnome does not load at all.

I am with AMD.

I’m in a hurry, but trying to figure this out…

Good question. Edited.

I had a a problem wit python 3.9 update
python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.8.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Was “solved” linking the library from python 3.9
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpython3.9.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libpython3.8.so.1.0

Now works fine

❯ python -V
Python 3.9.1
