[ARM Stable Update] 2020-08-13 - Bitwarden, Plasma, SystemD and Kernels

@strit @appelgriebsch @spikerguy Thank you all for taking the time to read my post. I really appreciate all the hard work the developers have put into Manjaro. I will wait patiently as I am confident the issue will get resolved.

Thanks

USB C video out on the Pinebook Pro stopped working after the 5.8 kernel update.

The VIA USB billboard device shows up but Displayport never connects.

Read the posts above you. It’s a known issue. :slight_smile:

Edit: i see others are having the same issue. I use external display every day. Please fix it

Hi,

I’m using a pinebook pro with KDE Plasma. I had linux-aarch64 5.7 before the update. After the update i have linux 5.8 now.
The external display is not working anymore. DP-Alt mode.
I had no issues with the external display bevor kernel linux 5.8.

Is this a known issue ? I haven’t seen any infos about it.
Thanks.

Chris

We have notified the patch maintainer. Hopefully we will get a fix for it soon.

Panfrost support is getting better and better.

Thanks to the Manjaro ARM devs and Alyssa Rosenzweig!

Hello. I’m trying to avoid any problems with my pending, fat update. I’m not sure if this affects me, but considering that I can’t find the “/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file”, then am I good to go? Thank you.

What device is it and what version did you install from?

It is an HP laptop, multiple partition scheme, dual-boot Manjaro-Windows, uefi, and I really don’t remember what my installation version was, I have some evidence from an archived post that it could be 20.04.x, but I can’t be 100% sure (is there some way to find out?)

This thread is for ARM devices. :slight_smile: You should post in [Stable Update] 2020-08-16 - Kernels, Plasma, KDE Framework, Systemd, Pamac, VirtualBox, Firefox.

I’m so sorry. I’m a newbie. :slight_smile:

Hello, D-bus doesn’t start anymore. Mousepad doesn’t start anymore and LibreOffice lose the menu bar.

In 20.06 and in the update 20.08, systemd-networkd-wait-online fails to start, and network manager doesn’t start automatically. I can start network manager manually.

I think I will reinstall when the kernel patch for USB-C to HDMI will be released, it will be easier.

@regivanx I had the same network manager problem after a post-update restart. I manually started it, refreshed mirrors, and the problem did not return.

After I read that your libreoffice bar was missing, I started office and confirm mine is missing too. I will try to remove and reinstall office to see if it fixes it.

FWIW, I’m not too savvy at error logs and such as I’m still learning.

You have 2 network services trying to fight doing the same thing. This should not be enabled when using Network Manager.

sudo systemctl disable systemd-networkd
sudo systemctl disable systemd-networkd.socket

reboot

Other bug: Chromium is no longer able to play two videos at the same time … the sound device is busy. Cannot play sound from videos at all with vlc or mpv. Perhaps D-Bus?

I’m confused… (shock horror)…

Did the PBP not get a kernel/OS bump also (or perhaps my system is broken after one too many updates)?

And see that there is an image for 20.08 for the pbp…

I suppose this is my excuse to try out the NVMe-ready SPI uboot, and write the new image to the NVMe drive… what can go wrong? :laughing:

You might be connected to an out of date mirror.

Try sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyu. That should get you a new mirror and updates to kernel 5.8.

That’s what I thought also. I tried updating last night, and got a decent number of updates, but it was probably the July updates as I haven’t had the PBP on for a few weeks. I think there is something going on the with the AU mirrors atm as my desktop needed a new mirrorlist for this months updates also.

Okay, try sudo pacman-mirrors -c all && sudo pacman -Syyu to “reset” your mirrorlist to using all mirrors.

As you can see on the repo status page your mirrors has been out of date for at least 600 hours. I suggest picking a mirror in another region.

In progress of scanning mirrors now. Thanks :wink: Dammit… BOTH the AU servers are now MIA.

Edit: That fixed it. Coffee sent!
