Testers needed on arm-testing branch

We are in need of testers for our arm-testing and arm-unstable branches.
So if you are adventurous and want newer software quicker, we would love for you to help us test out the new packages in arm-testing branch.

All you have to do to switch to this branch is:

  • Run this command to switch branch: sudo pacman-mirrors -aS testing && sudo pacman -Syyu. This will generate a new mirrorlist for you, sync your databases with the new mirror and update your system using the arm-testing branch.

We would then love for you to give feedback in our update posts in #manjaro-arm:arm-testing-updates. That way we can better find and fix bugs, before they hit arm-stable branch. Thank you!

Known Issues and Solutions

This is a wiki post, please edit it when you find a solution to an issue you encountered

Old Issues

My VPN no longer connects
OpenVPN 2.5.0 changed how VPN routes work.
Workaround is to downgrade to previous version (2.4.9):

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/openvpn-2.4.9*

DP Alt Mode no longer works on Pinebook Pro
This is a known issue, the hacky patch we had to enable this has broken in recent kernels.
@tsys and Ayufan are looking into it.
As a workaround you can install linux-pinebookpro again.
FIXED with linux-5.9.12-4 and linux-rc-5.10-rc7-2 and above.

brcm-patchram-plus and pi-blueooth are in conflict
See this post for workaround:
[ARM Testing Update] 2020-11-16 - Bitwarden, Mesa-Git, Pacman and kernels

Plasma Mobile Keyboard
The plasma mobile onscreen keyboard does not work with QT 5.15.0.
This is fixed by updating to kwin 5.19.3-1.1.

PinePhone uboot
This update to the PinePhone Uboot package (2020.04-2), changed how the DTS is loaded from the kernel, since the Kernel DTS for the Pinephone also changed. When doing this update on the PinePhone images from Alpha5 and back, please make this change to the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf before rebooting:

  • sun50i-a64-pinephone.dtb to sun50i-a64-pinephone-1.2.dtb
  • root=LABEL=ROOT to root=LABEL=ROOT_MNJRO

Manual interventions:
The nss and zn_poly packages prior to version 3.51.1-1 and version 0.9.2-2 respectively, were missing a soname link each. This has been fixed in 3.51.1-1 and 0.9.2-2 of these packages, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked files created by ldconfig. If you get any of these errors

nss: /usr/lib/p11-kit-trust.so exists in filesystem
zn_poly: /usr/lib/libzn_poly-0.9.so  exists in filesystem

when updating, use

pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/p11-kit-trust.so --overwrite /usr/lib/libzn_poly-0.9.so

to perform the upgrade.

Device stopped booting after Uboot update
The uboot update included a change to the extlinux.conf file. This change will be incompatible with the old 1 partition layout of some devices.
So if you are updating installs made with images 20.02.1 or older, you need to apply this fix before rebooting!
To fix this please edit your /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file and add 2 periods in front of each first slash, like so:

KERNEL ../Image
FDT ../dtbs/ #etc.
APPEND initrd=../initramfs-linux.img #etc.

Save the file and reboot.

Great! I can switch back to the ā€˜linuxā€™ package. Iā€™ve a question. Iā€™ve installed the ā€˜8188fu-kebelek333-dkms-gitā€™ package for my WiFi dongle and every time Iā€™m installing a new kernel package, there are build problems because it canā€™t find the Makefile, which is in arm64 folder and not aarch64 folder. The obvious quick fix was to create a symbolic link to the arm64 folder (and it works). The problem is Iā€™ve to make this symlink every time the install fails due this exact error. I was looking for a proper workaround but the workaround Iā€™ve found was the same I was using. Is there a better way?

E2: This applies to the Pinebook Pro.

Power over USB-C seems to be behaving oddly. Iā€™ll frequently have the power read as connected and disconnected ā€“ over and over and over again, which leads my screen to flash between the default brightness for plugged and unplugged.

Edit: I have further checked a variety of known working USB-C cables on known working chargers; all of them have the same effect when the device is own. I have not attempted to charge when the device is off yet, as of encountering this issue.

The Barrel charger still works.

Did you have this problem before this update too?
With the old kernel I have problem with USB-C charging, sometimes itā€™s stops Power Delivery charging (both ways) but charging PBP over USB-C works with sources without Power Delivery support. When this happens the file /sys/bus/i2c/devices/4-0022/typec/port0/orientation is always unknown. Iā€™ve to reboot the PBP for usb_power_delivery to work again.

No, on all previous updates I had not experienced an issue like this.

@kirfkin
Iā€™m having the exact same issue with my Pinebook Pro.

The charging over USB-C keeps flashing as charging / discharging.
The tooltip for seems to flash back and forth. every half-second between ā€œBattery at 90%, chargingā€ and ā€œThe power supply is not powerful enough to charge the batteryā€.

Hereā€™s a sample from journalctl which is filled with a constant stream of this:

If anyone has any advice, Iā€™d love to hear it.

I can confirm it on my PBP. I have problem with charging using usb_power_delivery, it keep turning the power_operation_mode to 3.0A and default, every change toggles charging on and off - and is changing the screen brightness. It didnā€™t happen on the 5.7.19 kernel. But charging using port without Power Delivery works with the default power operation mode. The usb_power_delivery works with power_role: source (e.g. powering up the dock). The HDMI in the dock works, but without sound yet. But I will test it some more before switching to the linux-pinebookpro for another round.

Using the Power Delivery port in the dock to charge the PBP will cause turning on and off the dock all the time. The PBP with usb_power_delivery can be only the source.

Interesting. I wasnā€™t using a dock; just some USB-C wall chargers that are good enough to charge the Pinebook Pro. Those, of course, would be power only. Iā€™ll try to investigate more myself.

Iā€™m not using a dock either. Iā€™m using a 60-watt rated USB-C cable and an 80-watt USB-C charger. This equipment has been able to recharge the Pinebook Pro for months until immediately after installing this update.

This update seems dangerous to Pinebook Pro users, because if they donā€™t have access to the barrel charger (as far as Iā€™m aware, a pretty non-standard charging cable) then it could effectively put them on a timer. A timer where if they canā€™t fix this charging issue before their battery runs out, it could brick their device.

Yes. Notify the maintainer of that AUR package about it, so they can change it to look for arm64 instead of arch64.

Hi,

Odroid n2 kde up to date, it works.

So this problem is specific to this package and not general DKMS on aarch64 architekture?

Edit: Iā€™m asking because itā€™s not the only package Iā€™ve tried for this dongle, Iā€™ve also installed the same driver Iā€™m using now from github and there was this error every time. The github project is not for aarch64 only, neither the AUR package.

I was not using a wall charger, only the powerbank with USB-C output with Power Delivery support and USB type A with some kind of fast charging that works with most devices.

Edit: Iā€™ve swtiched back to the linux-pinebookpro because on the newer kernel the charging modes which were working, they have lower currents (between 1,5A and 1,7A) then before (around 2A Ā± 0.2A).
Iā€™m monitoring some text files in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/4-0022/typec/port0/ directory, currently orientation, device_role, power_role and power_operation_mode.

Feel free to modify it. It doesnā€™t need any special permissions, just reads the files that are already accessible for your user. Iā€™ve just rattled it off and Iā€™m not very proud of it.

I believe that it is some standard, I just canā€™t for the life of me remember right now. But yes, if they canā€™t find it then itā€™ll at the very minimum put them out of commission until they could find a replacement (which could be a long time). Worst case is youā€™re right and it essentially bricks.

Now, I still havenā€™t tried charging via USB-C with it off since this update. Iā€™ll do that tonight and report. Could at least save some folks some headache.

EDIT: Two examples of adapters Iā€™ve found that should be compatible:

https://www.amazon.com/atolla-Standard-Adaptor-External-Positive/dp/B01DPCPAQS (this one has the same output as the shipped charger)

Thank you, I encountered the same problem.
The workaround by changing kernels works for me.
I no longer have the original charger since a feline attack.
It would be safer to buy a new one. :slight_smile:

So, there is a charging issue with this update and the PinebookPro when using the kernel linux but not the (older) linux-pinebookpro?

I flashed latest KDE image updated but Kernel still 5.4.x on Pi4 and cannot see Kernel updater in Settings Manager. How to get to latest Kernel?
