Thanx for the info.

after update, starting protonvpn I get this:

sudo protonvpn c --cc ch
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘protonvpn_cli’

what should I do?

My Nvidia card is 920M. Why in Manjaro offer at most 390x series. For example iin Ubuntu I can install even 455x series?

@jerbot

This week have project deliverables …
Thoughts?

Wait a week; it won’t do any harm.

For serious work, use something more stable/reliable than Manjaro (e.g. Ubuntu LTS).
Arch is at the most bleeding leading edge.
Manjaro is almost Arch, but aims to keep you from bleeding.
Occasionally (like now) the edge is still a bit too sharp.

[AlTech]

The update went well but on KDE Plasma the icons in the taskbar got smaller, does someone know a fix?

[chomsky]

Changing permissions to 755 on /root/ doesn’t sound like a good idea…

For serious work, use something more stable/reliable than Manjaro (e.g. Ubuntu LTS).

Extensive experience shows that Ubuntu updates can generate more breakage than Manjaro (many reasons, one being the management of rc packages).
If one wants a stable up to date install, the good combo is Debian + backports for specific packages + Flatpak if need is.

I just upgraded to linux510 (sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510 rmc) but did not see a new Nvidia package for this kernel. Is Nvidia driver 390.138 supported for this kernel?

If not for which kernels does the following change log entry apply?

Nvidia legacy driver got updated to 390.138

@peram

Read the OP.

@philm

If you use AUR packages, we recommend to install rebuild-detector (now available in our repos) before applying this update.

@nam1962

the good combo is Debian + backports

I bow to your greater experience.

I used Ubuntu LTS for 6 years. It was reliable for 3 years at a stretch. By then it was so old I wanted to upgrade, but it couldn’t be upgraded in place and I had to completely re-install. This was a pain, as I do a huge amount of customization just to be comfortable, and it took a few weeks to remember all the tweaks and do them again. At the end of the 2nd 3 year stretch, I switched to Manjaro. (Now that I’ve retired from most of my serious work, I have a little more patience for tricky upgrades…)

[philm]

Hey community,

Thx for the feedback so far. Here some answers!

@Pouet

terminator not working anymore, I had to download and install the Arch package (2.0.1-1 version).

Thx for reminding me. I’ve pushed the update.

@snydar

Warning: config ‘/var/lib/mhwd/local/pci/video-nvidia-455xx/MHWDCONFIG’ is invalid!

You can delete that file. Double check if you have /var/lib/mhwd/local/pci/video-nvidia/MHWDCONFIG.

@The_Quantum_Alpha

And Pamac broke itself real bad…

If you look at the package changes Pamac is at version 10.0.3-4. So check if your Mirrors have synced yet.

@meowclown

After the update from today bluetooth isn’t working on my laptop.

Please open a new thread in our hardware section (Laptop) so we can help. Doing it here it will be lost …

@ddns

After start all seems work well except one little issue;I have this error proc: Bad value for 'hidepid' on dmesg.

You can ignore those warning: proc: Bad value for 'hidepid' · Issue #16896 · systemd/systemd · GitHub

@The_Quantum_Alpha thx for your tutorial on AMD graphics. I’ll add it to second post: [Stable Update] 2020-12-30 - Kernels, KDE, Cinnamon, LibreOffice, Python 3.9, Mesa 20.3.1

@D.Dave Thx for the info on .slice. Will add it to the second post: [Stable Update] 2020-12-30 - Kernels, KDE, Cinnamon, LibreOffice, Python 3.9, Mesa 20.3.1

GT520 + linux54 5.4.85-1 + linux54-nvidia-390xx 390.138-2 = absolutely terrible performance

Which Nvidia drivers did you had before the update. Maybe check in /var/log/pacman.log.

@jerbot

[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.

Did you check if linux510-nvidia was installed? Please run: sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

@elfroggio

How to I roll back 3.9 to 3.8?

We dropped Python 3.8 support from Manjaro with this update. Open a new thread in our Software Section to help you out. However there is a python38 package in the AUR.

@Pcwolf

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

Try to boot another kernel like linux54 and post a new thread about your problem in our Kernel Section.

@MartinLockheed

Updating to Linux kernel 5.10 borked my Bluetooth driver in KDE Plasma (says “no adapters found” when opening the tool).

The issue with Bluetooth and Kernel 5.10 should be fixed in our testing branch. Please switch and confirm.

@surfingtux

After update my external monitor screen stays black.

Please open a new thread in our Hardware Section (Laptop) to help you out with your Hybrid card setup.

@Pawef

My Nvidia card is 920M. Why in Manjaro offer at most 390x series. For example iin Ubuntu I can install even 455x series?

You can still install the 455xx driver if your card supports it. Simply uninstall nvidia-390xx drivers and manually install nvidia thru mhwd:

sudo mhwd -r -i pci video-nvidia-390xx
sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia

Also provide us your hardware id of your graphics card, so we may add it to the 455xx driver: hwinfo --gfx

Updated yesterday with new kernel 5.10.2. I see no notable glitches.

But in logs constantly, basically every minute, appearing errors like

Catfish

Same here, and can’t install Catfish without removing Zeitgeist now, which is a requirement for
Pantheon Music.

[rgn]

Everything is fine but i got lots of warning about Manjaro/kernel/sound/soc files

[caius]

@caius

2 upgraded here, one AMD on Nvidia, all went well following the fixes mentioned.

The only thing is after updating both of them to 5.10 they both show the fsck error on boot:

WARNING

The root device is not configured to be mounted
read-write! It may be fsck’d again later.

This message is only shown on the 5.10 kernels boot, not on the 5.4 or 5.9 kernels on either machine.

Managed to fix the warning message. Edited the grub config file /etc/default/grub and added rw to the following line so it now looks like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet rw udev.log_priority=3”

Then ran the following line in the terminal:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

This fixed the warning message.

[mynewlaptop]

Hmm, I’m getting the following error:

Failed to prepare transaction

could not satisfy dependencies:

• removing mhwd-db breaks dependency ‘mhwd-db’ required by mhwd,
• if possible, remove mhwd and retry

Edit: nevermind, worked ok after reboot.

@snydar

Hi, I uninstalled the driver and then reinstalled it using the following commands:

sudo pacman -Rdd linux54-nvidia-455xx nvidia-455xx-utils
sudo pacman -S linux54-nvidia nvidia-utils

Had literally the same problem. Try this here, it worked for me:

@philm

You may execute sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300 to make sure all parts of Nvidia drivers got installed.

[b_quest]

I guess it just became incompatible with the new grub version. I used it for years without problems, but in the end I don’t care how the GRUB screen looks like as long as it boots my favourite OS(es) .

[Falav]

Grub conflicts with grub-customizer

Someone added grub-customizer to conflics in grub package. Is there any reason to it?

[hmonster]

Installation went fine, on a reboot got a message to say install the latest kernel, so I installed 5.10.2-2 from the System Settings - Kernel dialogue. That all seemed to go fine, and so I rebooted, selected the advanced Grub options and selected the 5.10 kernel that I had just installed. However, the system hangs immediately thereafter. Anyone have any suggestions? Have I missed anything out or should I have done something differently?
