Firefox Developer Edition is having problems. When I would try to run it by clicking the icon it wouldn’t open and the “force quit” popup would appear. When ran from the terminal here is the output.

I have downgraded to an earlier release.

EDIT: Upgraded again then restarted my system and everything works fine.

Regarding the icon for xfce4-power-manager in the panel, the issue has already been reported by philm:

And this is the same issue reported upstream in Xfce:

So, from a manjaro USB key, I have done an update-grub (with manfaro-chroot -a before).
Same error (failed to start load kernel modules an system stopped).
I have done an mhwd -a pci free 0300
Same error on reboot.
I don’t know what to do more.
Help appreciated…

A small bug with the update of XFCE from 4.14 to 4.16.

The power settings icon on the taskbar did not update correctly.

Running into trouble with Minecraft. Launcher works fine then when I hit play I get a popup with this

GLFW error 65543: GLX: Failed to create context: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation).

Please make sure you have up-to-date drivers (see aka.ms/mcdriver for instructions).

Restarted my system and everything works fine.

EDIT: No longer works fine again. Downgraded to an earlier release.

Updated without problems, KDE and Kernel 5.4.

Thanks Manjaro Team

I have removed nvidia 440 and used nvidia 390, and all works.
Close this thread.

I have written a comment on Gitlab.

I’m on Manjaro Xfce since almost a year. I’m amazed at how polished stable-updates are. Congratulations and thanks for the whole team!

Just an off-topic comment… Xfwm4 is growing on RAM consumption with every new release. On my setup (3 extended monitors) it tooks 100MiB from 4.12 to 4.14 and now it’s taking almost 80MiB on 4.16 :unamused:

On my laptop I’m unable to get a WiFi connection with this version of NetworkManager. It says it is connected, but the yellow exclamation mark remains and I can’t access the web. Downgrading NM restores functionality. On my Desktop I didn’t have any problem. I’ll open a new topic.

On a Thinkpad T60 64-bit, Intel 945 GM Graphics:

Update went OK with pacman -Syu in Konsole and local Mirror in Austria, with one hickup:
“unspecified error” on commit.
Restarting pacman, it downloaded 3 additional packages, an off we go.

But!
After shutdown and reboot,
KDE system is considerably slower than before, mouse is jumpy, login screen does only appear with 5 seconds delay and is very laggy. This was faster and more responsive in the previous release.
Seems to be kind of a regression.
Firefox seems also to be running perceptibly slower, e.g. with Twitch.

every update I logout of my gnome sessions, goto a TTY terminal
refresh my mirrors with the closest mirrors:

sudo pacman-mirrors --geoip

Then use

sudo pacman -Syyu

That has given me clean no problem updates for over a year now (of course I reboot after the update as well).

What’s wrong with using sudo pacman -Syu?
