I’ve also noticed that the latest version of rkward doesn’t seem able to open files from dolphin. The following output is produced in journalctl:

Files can still be opened from within rkward.

Updated my Pinebook Pro to Kernel 5.9.1-3-MANJARO-ARM.
Experiencing issues with sleep when “SuspendState=mem”. Pinebook simply does not wake up from sleep, have to hard reset it.

Changing conf to “SuspendState=freeze” solves the issue but I have experienced battery drain with this so it is not an ideal option.

For what it’s worth, that reboot issue shows up regardless of whether I boot from the microSD card or eMMC. That being said, I did flash both using manjaro-arm-installer. I flashed the card from my PC so I could flash the eMMC from the Pinebook.

I have never had a failed cold boot from a shutdown, but without fail rebooting causes the artifacting. Maybe I should try an actual image.

20

Let me know how it goes with an image mate. I’ll write back if I have something new.

21

The same thing happens on reboot even when I image the card using Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-20.10.img, the latest download available. So I don’t think it has to do with the image installer or this version.

I think I found a relevant thread here: Problem with the LCD screen when rebooting Pinebook Pro

22

For me, starting dolphin freezes entire system. Hard way.

No matter mesa or mesa-git.

23

I found that firefox with wayland and webrender enabled leads to massive kernel memory leaks. I wonder if it’s the same issue.

24

I can confirm this. PBP deep sleep will not wake up after update.

Weirdly, this works again now. Not sure what was wrong before.

EDIT: No, it is still there. Only becomes present after opening and closing rkward.

youtube-dl doesn’t work anymore.

youtube-dl has problem with RIAA, who blew up the bug tracker. How to contact the developer?

27

I never use youtube-dl from the repo as updates are slow coming around. Mostly my purpose is because things change with youtube that prevent downloading and I get a quick fix.

Uninstall youtube-dl
sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

About once a week I check for an update with:

sudo youtube-dl -U

ADDED:

I just tried and getting the same error and tried to do an update and get something weird so guess the youtube people are working on it.

[ray@ray-pc Desktop]$ sudo youtube-dl -U
ERROR: can't find the current version. Please try again later.

Not good:

I have been getting a lot of that in the past few weeks. I guess they have stopped youtube-dl from circumventing.

31

Actually kernels 5.9 - 5.9.4 are unusable. The same goes to 5.10-rc1.
With 5.10-rc2 I cannot boot the machine.

Maybe switching off webrender would cure the situation but what is the point of going back.

EDIT: Just compiled 5.9.5 - it has panfrost patch and does not leak !!!

32

You should be able to get updates for youtube-dl using
pip install -U youtube-dl

33

How did you get PBP deep sleep working? It doesn’t work on mine at all…

34

I have the same, using qutebrowser. In my case only a reboot will free the used memory.
Is there a workaround? Because this makes my Notebook pretty much unusable, need to reboot all the time to free memory.

35

I’m a bit afraid of giving directions because the first time I made this the PBP wouldn’t boot and it was a while ago. I solved this by reinstalling which is not a very elegant solution…

Essentially what I did was installing “uboot-pinebookpro-bsp” and, after that, doing the necessary dd.

Found these instructions.
