sudo pacman -Syyu helped.
but updating the mirror list did not.
thank you.
I had the same error
failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
virtualbox-ect-vnc: …etc…
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.<
After checking what vnc actually does, it turns out I don’t need it at all so I will delete it, see if the update will work, but I wont re-install it.
A post was merged into an existing topic: Unable to start Wayland session after last update

After update on restart, after the Grub menu, could not start the system anymore. System says can’t find any /dev/tty and bash crashed and scheduled for restart over and over. This for every kernel i tryed.
I had to chroot from another manjaro partition update again (but there was no more updates), then mkinitcpio -P and update-grub. All good after. I’m on Manjaro XFCE.

It looks as though the initramdisk wasn’t recreated
In rare cases, this can happen if the update aborts prematurely.
To check for such issues before rebooting, I wrote a program called maxi (available here on the forum and on GitHub).
maxi checks whether the kernel is present and whether the initramdisk has been regenerated. This is helpful because it allows you to easily resolve the problem from the running system before rebooting.
That way, you don’t have to go through the trouble of repairing the system from an ISO image (and you avoid the panic of the system failing to boot).
you can test maxi -kvigm or maxi -h

Well, there was no interruption during update. Just some warning about some VLC plugins that already existed on the system. Do you have a link to your maxi program? Thanks a lot.
I think this maxi program is useful.

Since this update, some applications have some areas cut off. The taller the window, the more pronounced the issue gets.
VLC
Both images have this forum page in the background to show that it’s not just the screenshot cut off. Also, the bottom position of the window border is the same, I just dragged the top border up for the second window.
Another app that experiences this is Clementine:
3 posts were split to a new topic: Lag when logging into Plasma
It’s been a couple of update cycles since I updated, but I had issues with switching encryption over from udev/encrypt to systemd/sd-encrypt. They were mostly rookie mistakes from lack of use lately, but I figured I’d share them as common pitfalls.
The warning in the initial post mentions changing udev to systemd in the mkinitcpio hooks, but I didn’t look closely enough at the linked wiki page to notice that I also needed to ensure encrypt got changed to sd-encrypt. I also forgot to actually run mkinitcipo -P before rebooting, so even though I had the files correct the system still tried to boot with udev when I had the systemd style configuration parameter in the commandline. (having systemd and encrypt in the inital ramdisk is worse than having just the wrong parameters in the commandline because I couldn’t rescue the boot with an emergency shell)
An additional note is that systemd does not have a default keyfile location like udev/encrypt did, so I had to add another parameter to the commandline to specify rd.luks.key=/crypto_keyfile.bin

That is why reading the second post in the announcements is important… It can save the user a lot of pain 
I added the mkinitcpio -P. It is in the linked arch wiki page but it has only 2 clicks (now 3 with mine) in 9 weeks so i’d better add it to the 27.5. notes.
Or maybe all users know what to do and that is why they do not need to read wikis 
The alternative would be nobody cared but that cannot be, right?

No, they think they know what they’re doing, and that is why they don’t read Wikis.
