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 havenāt 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. Canāt wait for the full upgrade!
Mine looks like this in /etc/default/grub. For safetyās 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 Iāve 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.
Yeah, I did that the first time, and then thought the $USER may have been a placeholder for the actual user and replaced it with my user, which didnāt work either.
I now have three drives locked in read-only mode as well now.
If everything is still working well for you using pulseaudio, then thereās no need to rush. Pipewire is still a pretty new thing as a full audioserver replacement, so there might still be some issues.
Xfce, Kernel 4.14.
Just a minor issue, due to the fact that fontconfig changed the path from /etc/fonts/conf.avail/ to /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/; I just had to execute: sudo ln -fs /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/ to have back the lcd filter (in facts fonts looked a little bit ugly without such conf file). I used the -f flag because in the target direcory there was the broken symlink: so I overwrite it with the new config file.
Thanks, Iāve backed up the system and will give it a try.
Not sure what pip is, but Iāll look it up.
I always do the larger system updates with pacman from a terminal.
Small updates through the graphical installer.
