[Stable Update] 2021-05-19 - Kernels, Nvidia, KDE Frameworks, Plasma, Systemd, LibreOffice, KDE Gear Mobile, FF, TB

Unfortunately, before I proceed to download the update I get this message on pamac GUI.

conflicting dependencies:
- virtualbox-guest-utils and virtualbox-guest-utils-nox are in conflict

What should be done in this case?

Hello, I had the same issue, just try installing plasma-desktop with :
sudo pacman -S plasma-desktop
And when it asks you to replace it because it is in conflict with primex, choose yes.

Hello, i had the nvidia problem with the black screen on boot. Using dual 1440p monitors with DP. Seems that the new nvidia-ā€˜stableā€™ update pushed is not very ā€˜stableā€™ at the end. Well, iā€™ll downgrading the nvidia drivers when i have a chance.

Hi,

The update went fine but I still have the amd gpu issue and the solution you give doesnā€™t work for me, it makes my laptop freeze at the asus boot screen, so I had to chroot to bring eveerything back to ā€œnormalā€, I did this change in /etc/default/grub btw :

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3 amdgpu.dc=0"

I havenā€™t updated yet, but as an nvidia GTX 1080 user with 2 displayport monitors, all these reports make me a bit nervous. Would it be worth holding off on updating until a working driver is released?

My DP monitors are both 1080p by the way, with an additional 1080p monitor connected by DVI. It does seem like most of the people running into issues with DP are either running high resolution or high refresh rate monitors. Can anyone confirm whether 1080p monitors connected via DP are causing problems?

Update: Since installing your build of PipeWire 0.3.28, Iā€™ve had 5 zoom meetings, slept overnight with my PC idle, watched several YouTube videos, switched between my speakers and my headphones many times, rebooted once for an unrelated reason, and been running PulseEffects the whole time, with it affecting both speaker output (equalizer) and microphone input (RNNoise noise reduction). At no time so far has the audio stopped working, with either recording or playback. I think for me personally, itā€™s safe to say that PipeWire 0.3.28 is significantly more stable and usable than 0.3.26 and 0.3.27 were. I have not had to manually restart it or PulseEffects once.

That being said, I have not tested Bluetooth audio equipment, since I donā€™t use any Bluetooth audio equipment currently. For audio output (playback), I use 3.5mm jack output directly from my motherboard for my speakers and headphones, and for audio input (recording), I use a small USB sound card with its own 3.5mm jack into which I plug my microphone. So, my test results in this post are for handling USB and motherboard 3.5mm audio jacks only.

yea, you have to choose yes.

Also try the following commands, as it looks like that should fix the issue:
sudo pacman -Rdd plasma-desktop-primex
sudo pacman -Syu plasma-desktop

(28/34) Changing NetworkManager Connectivity-Ping to manjaro.org

what??

Thanks. Rebuilt compiz-easy-patch and it still isnā€™t starting.

Iā€™ve just run the update and got the same message, Iā€™m going to choose not to upgrade virtualbox-guest-utils-nox or perhaps virtualbox altogether at this time and see if I can find another solution.

Have you had any luck resolving this issue yet? If so, would you care to share please.

Thanks in advance

Update : So I had to remove virtualbox and its dependencies, reboot the computer - then I could run this update without any problems. Have re-installed virtualbox but wont test it until tomorrow.

Mine was 1080 display port on a 1060 6gb, produced a no-boot situation, not a black screen situation

If you note, the warning states, DP and/or high res

Had to rescue with liveUSB and chroot

I rebooted it, and sddm failed to load its theme. After I logged in, it brought me to a black screen only with a mouse cursor.

EDIT: I re-installed KDE Plasma and it still remained the same.

EDIT 2: I removed all the git packages and installed non-git alternatives. Now itā€™s finally working.

alright yeah, I suspected as much. thanks for letting me know, looks like Iā€™ll be avoiding this update for the time being.

Xfce, Kernel 4.14.

I just want to say that Iā€™m using Pamac 10.1.2-2 (installed from testing branch) and despite this minor bug (Title bar buttons are not fully visible. (#1037) Ā· Issues Ā· Applications / pamac Ā· GitLab) works flawlessly:

Thatā€™s easy - to rewind a backup, if itā€™s broken you can restore your backup. Everyone keeps a backup of system/config files, donā€™t they?

Snap - sticky this one!!! Brings back the feeling I had using PPAā€™s back with Linux Mint - inviting the broken system.

Iā€™m using pipewire and, after this update, my sound doesnā€™t work when I resume from suspend. Is anyone else experiencing this?

So, Iā€™m probably a prime candidate for this nvidia issue. DP and 4K monitors
Before I upgrade, do you recommend just ignoring the nvidia packages, to be on the safe side? Will that side step the issue?

So these are the nvidia packages I see that it wants to upgrade. I can add them to the ā€œignore upgrades forā€ list:
nvidia-utils
mhwd-nvidia
lib32-nvidia-utils
and the various kernel ones like linux512-nvidia

Am I missing one? Can someone confirm? The main one Iā€™m iffy about is the kernel ones like linux512-nvidia.
