PAM and PAMBASE got updated, which might prevent you from login

Due to updates from pambase and pam you might take care about any .pacnew files in /etc/pam.d as for example pam_tally, pam_tally2 and pam_cracklib got deprecated. Read in the ArchWiki about managing those files.

Typical issue:

For recovery, it is enough to boot with kernel option “systemd.unit=rescue.target”, then proceed into /etc/pam.d and merge “system-auth” and “system-auth.pacnew”

Older Issues

System takes a long time to boot

If you’ve got errors like Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online. you can try removing systemd from passwd and group in /etc/nsswitch.conf as described here
Update: If you can see the line
dbus-daemon[1453]: [system] Connection has not authenticated soon enough, closing it (auth_timeout=30000ms, elapsed: 45146ms)
in in your dbus log ( journalctl -b -u dbus ), the new/better workaround is to switch cups from service to socket as described here:
systemctl disable org.cups.cupsd.service
systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.socket

I think I’ve some font problems

With the update of fontconfig some major rules how fonts get applied changed. Make sure that your system has ttf-dejavu installed. A more in depth explanation can be found here.

Gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell is currently incompatible with wayland

… and causes the system to freeze when the first window is tiled and can render it unbootable. Solution is a hard reset and disabling either pop shell or wayland. If the system becomes unbootable, use a live USB to edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf to disable wayland and reboot.

currently I do not get fixed the error … no reboot

thx for your tip … rename or copy from /boot/vmlinuz-linux58 to /boot/vmlinuz-5.8-x86_64

Something is not right with the hook, which copies the kernels to /boot, the names are wrong and subsequently mkinitcpio fails to build initramfs:

$ sudo mkinitcpio -P && sudo update-grub

This results in unbootable systems otherwise!

This error doesn’t exist when building initramfs-5.7

3 posts were split to a new topic: Why is manjaro-zsh-config overwriting a file in a home directory?

My system became unbootable as well. I had to revert to the btrfs-snapshot I made before the update.

Problem with Opera: freezes when clicking Opera button, right-clicking, odd font sizes. Can be partially worked around by enabling HWA (opera://settings/system).See here: Latest Update Broke the Opera UI | Opera forums.

My laptop will not boot after this update on kernel 5.8, not sure why. It is stuck at HP splash screen which always shows up before log in screen. TTY does not work.
Can’t put in inxi

I’ll try to boot from kernel 5.7 and see how that works.

rly?? see Post No. 2 …

I’ve to see about mkinitcpio. I deleted our overlay. Let me see what to fix.

My update showed none of these errors while updating (used terminal) so I wasn’t sure if it applied.

Pushed some more updates …

something wrong here , i have update mirrors to get update mkinitcpio
is it this error " `/" that should be " '/" ?

update : error name come from old mkinitcpio

sudo mkinitcpio -P

May be I am wrong, but I believe the mkinitcpio update is not fixing the initial problem.

The initial problem is that the new kernel packages linux54-5.4.67-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and linux58-5.8.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst install kernel images with wrong names:

/boot/vmlinuz-5.4
/boot/vmlinuz-5.8

It is my understanding that they are not found even by the new mkinitcpio.

They should be renamed to

/boot/vmlinuz-5.4-x86_64
/boot/vmlinuz-5.8-x86_64

this come form /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linuxXY.preset
i have this 4.14 , 5.4 also 5.8

# mkinitcpio preset file for the 'linux54' package

ALL_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-5.4-x86_64"

PRESETS=('default' 'fallback')

#default_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
default_image="/boot/initramfs-5.4-x86_64.img"
#default_options=""

#fallback_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
fallback_image="/boot/initramfs-5.4-x86_64-fallback.img"
fallback_options="-S autodetect"

and if you have bad name vmlinuz

ls -lha vmlinuz*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5,8M 24 sept. 10:34 vmlinuz-419-x86_64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6,2M 24 sept. 10:34 vmlinuz-54-x86_64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6,5M 24 sept. 10:34 vmlinuz-58-x86_64

soluce :
suppress vmlinuz ( name bad )
redo
sudo pacman -S linuxNM

it’s ok for result mkinitcpio
