I’m not an expert, so I might be wrong, but as no-one answered this after 5 hours …
pacman says “exists in filesystem” because pacman did not put it there.
This often happens with python files because people install things with pip
and forget to add --user, so the files end up in system python.
Usually the solution is to simply delete all the files listed as “exists in filesystem”
then run the upgrade again.
But usually they are not essential system files, and chardet files might be.
Still, pacman will replace them, so it might be safe –
just don’t reboot between deleting them and finishing the upgrade.
No warranty implied. Backup first. Don’t blame me if it borks your system.
Too bad, it didn’t stand the night : today’s start show the issue again : Pulseeffects is silent on first start and has to be rest (I’ll mention it on above thread)
There was a new issue with the Trash icon in XFCE Thunar 4.16.6, where it doesn’t stay in sync with the contents of the Trash. Apparently the XFCE team has already fixed this for 4.16.7. The workaround is to open the Trash and manually delete its contents.
There was an upgrade for it this morning. Seems to have fixed it with that:

Almost same error, but overriding gl version works only to enable games in POL to start, then to freeze.
Everything went smooth in both my Thinkpad E14 and HP pavilion x2 detachable (both running Gnome).
I haven’t switched to pipewire yet.
Sound, video, suspend, touchscreen and automatic rotation, all checks out fine.
All the updated apps to Gnome 40 seem to work fine. Can’t wait for the full upgrade!
Mine looks like this in /etc/default/grub. For safety’s sake, backup grub first.
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command 'videoinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=auto
# Uncomment one of them for the gfx desired, a image background or a gfxtheme
#GRUB_BACKGROUND="/usr/share/grub/background.png"
GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/manjaro/theme.txt"
When I was using a custom theme, I had to set GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
EDIT: I think I’ve worked out the problem, which makes it not related to the update. I used Windows yesterday (fastboot not enabled, and not dual-boot), which I guess made the HDDs read only. As a knock-on effect of that, the Virtual Box images were also read-only, which may have prevented VB from working properly. I logged into Windows and then restarted the PC. VB is working again and the drives are no longer read only.
This was an issue in a previous update, now back again. Rebooting had no effect.
My user is in the vboxusers group:
I also ran the command: sudo usermod --append --groups vboxusers lee as suggested in the 30th Dec 2020 stable update announcement (older issues).
I also removed and then reinstalled the latest extensions pack form the official site.
