The libtraceevent package prior to version 5.9-1 was missing a soname link. This has been fixed in 5.9-1, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked files created by ldconfig. If you get any of these errors
libtraceevent: /usr/lib/libtraceevent.so.1 exists in filesystem
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”
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 cups.service systemctl enable cups.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.
Can confirm the flatpak plugin is still causing issues, sometimes pamac gui will open with it installed others it won’t. Easiest to just leave it uninstalled for now
Switching to kernel 5.10, on my laptop, the external display stopped working. Going back to kernel 5.9 it’s working again. Using the proprietary hybrid drivers.
Graphics:
Device-1: Intel HD Graphics 630 vendor: Acer Incorporated ALI driver: i915

I have the problem, that my laptop has this “Failed to load kernel modules”- error.
I had it with 5.10 and 5.9, installing 5.4 helped me to get into Gnome, but I still have this error while booting.
As long as I can use my laptop…
Yes only difference between the 2 was pacnew didn’t have flatpak and snap enabled so nothing really to merge. I just deleted the lines about flatpak and snap support and then renenabled them in settings see if it fixes the issue
Not really new in this specific update, but I noticed something with telegram-desktop: it seems to be a git version, not a stable/release version.
The current stable version is 2.4.7 (also in arch) but we got 2.4.14.r33.g7a07acb12 in this update.
Also the PKGBUILD seems to be a bit different from the arch one, on Manjaro a lot more is pulled from different git repos. @nightmare-2021 why is this, do we really need a dev/git build for telegram?
