Tried to install manjaro-xfce-21.2pre1-minimal-211119-linux515.iso. After completing installation no boot device. Went back to fresh install 21.06 and was able to boot and upgraded to qonos. Did the installation from nvme with ventoy.

i will…thanks
Thanks for the troubleshoot post.
I have a GT710 and today I applied the updates and obviously it “broke” my system (couldn’t log to graphical session)
I should’ve read the post before reinstalling my system, but well… I did expect a somewhat regular update.
Nevertheless, I think I lost nothing of value and was able to save my recently installed system following the steps in the post

I also learned the hard way to read the update announcements before performing the update.
So, welcome to the club! We have a support group. We meet on the day after the update was released, and watch the Forum like you’d watch a movie. Can be quite entertaining. Bring snacks!

Hi,
After upgrade i have issues with the Nvidia Optimus prime-run no longer works (i have to kill the game process same as another user previously).
Case : GTX960M so still supported by the lastest drivers.
Solution : downgrade the nvidia drivers back to 470.
in my case : video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-prime

7 posts were split to a new topic: After Plasma 5.23.3 update I’m disappointed with development focus and unfixed regressions
I am having an issue with python and qt libraries. i am trying to start an enviroment of opencv for digital img processsing, until the last update I had no problems but sinse the last update opencv does not open the windows of pictures with cv2.imshow() function. when i excecute the script in the terminal it tells my something is happening with the qt backends. the error is given in both wayland an X!!
the error log is.
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
QObject::moveToThread: Current thread (0x559198cf49e0) is not the object's thread (0x5591990a49b0).

Available platform plugins are: xcb, eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx.

othe thing to note is: before the update de package python-opencv and opencv in “Extra” repository was working, after the update the package does not work anymore and had to install opencv with pip. i think maybe it has something to see with the problem.
any sugestions?
I am using Manjaro-gnome in both wayland and X11 sesions for testing in both visual studio code and Spyder.
Updating caused plasma to appear to hang on the splash screen. I used alt+tab after some time and found that my autostart applications like steam, spotify, and discord had all launched, but the rest of my DE (panels, wallpaper, etc.) were missing. Just black screens behind the applications. Using the hotkey for krunner opened it correctly and allowed me to open konsole. Opening ksystemlog from there I can see numerous errors whenever I try to kstart5 plasmashell

After reading through the thread you linked I think I have a guess at what happened
- The update ran as expected up to the point it reached the kernel update
- At this point, it succeeded in moving the kernel to .old but failed to install the new version of the kernel
- The update process locked up at this point, and upon rebooting, there was no longer any kernel to boot with
I managed to install a kernel using the manjaro live CD and chroot but I think the install is still good and scuffed. I can reach the command line but the graphical environment fails to load, and frankly trying to diagnose X problems is a bit over my head. I tried starting the desktop environment using startxfce4 but it just fails after about a minute. I could get the exact error but not at the moment.
I don’t think I’m experiencing the exact problem that was linked there. I think what tipped me off that it was something I did was the following post [root tip] Update Manjaro the smart way
I could be wrong though. Unfortunately I think the smoking gun is long gone now. I tried to dd my disk for later inspection before getting into it but I guess it failed? It’s just one of those days I guess. Can’t say I didn’t make mistakes here. I guess it’s a cautionary tale, now.
I restarted and verified this is persistent. I am on plasmawayland using this latest update’s nvidia proprietary drivers on a 1080ti. It seems this update has weird nvidia things as usual.
Kernel: 5.10
Server: Xorg
DE: XFCE
After the update, the reboot process got stuck at the “Loading Manjaro 249.6-3” screen, the DE never loaded. After a cold reboot, same issue.
Then I loaded the 5.4 kernel, and it correctly loaded into the DE.
After checking that everything works on 5.4, I shut down the machine and restarted it, this time with 5.10 again.
And voila, it works perfectly fine!
Ah, the fun of having almost-bleeding-edge updates

when I uninstall opencv with pip and isntall the respective package from repositories this is the error ir shows
ImportError: libfmt.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
i have the solution. just install fmt from the software store or use sudo pamac install fmt
I figured out my issue with Dolphin not displaying “Removable Devices”… apparently it was treating the entire section/place as “Hidden”. The fix has 2 parts:
- Right-click the left-pane (in a blank area) and check “Show Hidden Places” from the context menu… this restored the “Removable Devices” grouping (and its device list) so we can see it and make the next change
- Right-click the now visible “Removable Devices” section heading and uncheck “Hide Section ‘Removable Devices’”
Desired behaviour restored!

Confirmed. I could not make the change permanent after closing and re-opening Dolphin.
Try this instead:
- Open Dolphin
- Right-click the side bar and check “Show Hidden Places”
- Right-click the USB drive itself
- Uncheck “Hide”
- Close and re-open Dolphin
Does this solve it for you?

yes! I figured the second part out and updated my post (apparently we were cross-posting 
). what I found was slightly different… unhiding the section itself… now all USB sticks pop in like they should (and used to)

I am using a laptop with an old Nvidia card

Using bumblebee with Nvidia driver: linux510-nvidia-390xx (390.144-28)

[ 61.187083] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.
The solution for me was to edit /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia and add the device BusID (from lspci) and a ServerFlags section with the Option “IgnoreABI” “1”. 30-nvidia-ignoreabi.conf inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ does not work for me.
Here is my /etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nvidia file:

optirun glxgears works for me now.
