Lost compiz running on top of Mate. Mate is running fine, but compiz isn’t starting. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: OK seems i solved it myself … killing pamac, remove db lock, removing the locally newer pamac version and sudo update-grub did the trick for me … at least it is still working after a reboot.
Original post:
Well … i tried to update but now pamac ist stuck 
Is it save to kill the task :(?

After updating, my plasmashell (I think) doesn’t work. After splash screen I get black screen with no Plasma stuff, only cursor, sometimes I can open terminal over Yakuake if it starts automatically and then I can start other programs as usual, but still no task bar, workspaces desktops or anything.

I upgrade my wifi card to AX210 on my X230 Thinkpad. The card isn’t usable until I rename / remove the following file.
iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm under /usr/lib/firmware/
I am on 5.11 now and it was the same with 5.12
Well … i now killed pacman as it won’t close on its own and cancel button was disabled.
I had to delete /var/lib/pacman/db.lck now sudo pacman -Syyu results in:

Seems i got an anhealthy pamac? I will revert to the old version.
Me neither, and when something like this happens for the 3rd time in couple of months on a computer from work, it’s a problem. I noticed someone else posted the same problem in 13-5 update, no solution yet. And only three posts about this error, we’re not getting help any time soon Search results for '_ZN14KWindowEffects11slideWindowEP7QWindowNS_17SlideFromLocationEi' - Manjaro Linux Forum
Why would you even add nvdia drivers update if it’s not ready yet. Literally spent hours fixing it, eventually ending up with nouveau.

@Manjaro team After update the reboot was necessary → my reboot stopped with black screen. I had to do 2 times (twice) Ctrl+Alt+Del in order to make reboot hapenning successfully. Should I (or could I) do something about this ?
Similar to this? [Stable Update] 2021-05-19 - Kernels, Nvidia, KDE Frameworks, Plasma, Systemd, LibreOffice, KDE Gear Mobile, FF, TB - #68 by CalibratedCabbage
Right after updating, I started getting
The window switcher installation is broken, resources are missing.
Every time I ALT+TAB’d.
Haven’t rebooted yet
EDIT: reboot made it go away it seems
A post was split to a new topic: Make zsh default in Plasma and XFCE editions

@CalibratedCabbage My reboot issue does not look (to me) like yours. I had this quite minor issue only in one desktop, not in laptops. My now, after this (Ctrl+Alt+Del) was done, this does not happen any more in the desktop in question.

The amdgpu-bug causing a lockup after suspend still seems present in 5.12.2
Haven’t dared to check latest 5.11, as I will then lose 5.11.6, which is the last (known to me) working kernel from 5.11 without lockups after suspend (on my Ryzen 4600U-based laptop).
For anyone affected, 5.10.32+ seems fine, too.
Can be issue of your GTK theme, but similar one/related is already reported (if I’m not wrong).
You may downgrade pamac to the actual repo version.
sudo pacman -Syyuu
How long did you wait with the black screen? My laptop took much longer than usual on the next boot - looks like it was running fsck - but it booted up fine…
In case it helps, I had Compiz issues (on XFCE) after updating - including no ability to run CompizConfig. Chose to rebuild it (from within Pamac [10.0.6-2] “compiz-easy-patch 0.9.14.1-4”) and it required a new/updated dependency (sorry - clicked through accidentally before noting precisely what it was!).
After that rebuild and another restart, Compiz has been working as it was before the update.

Can somebody help about real issues that make your routine suffer, instead of people reporting random inconveniences like “my buttons are all wrong” and burying other posts?
