After this update, my system is acting totally weird.
I have Manjaro since February 2019, and everything is always been good.
But since this update I firstly encountered this issue:
Then I also noticed that mpv (has been updated from 1:0.33.1-2 to 1:0.33.1-3) after a while of playing, will freeze all the system: luckily I can go to TTY2 and there executing systemctl reboot.
But I am upset… I had a rock solid system, but since this update, has become unreliable…
EDIT: I downgraded mpv, but the issue persists: after a while (about five minutes of playing) the system completely freeze…
EDIT 2:
I switch from stable branch to testing branch:
sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch testing
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

(libxnvctrl ?? Is for nVidia, but on my system there is no nVidia, only Intel).
What happened:
The system freezed again for few seconds (about 15 seconds), then become responsive again.
In the Journal log I don’t see (or I am not able to search about) nothing about.
I’ll update this message: I am not totally sure of what is happening.
EDIT 3: nothing to do: I was playing again using mpv and the system freeze again.
EDIT 4: I discovered that when the system freeze, instead of doing systemctl reboot, I can execute pkill -KILL -u $myusername and the system will become usable again. But this is a workaround; shouldn’t happen.
EDIT 5: I currently using smplayer (tried various times, also for more than an hour of playing) and the system freeze doesn’t occured; the funny thing is that smplayer using mpv as video backend.
