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!
This is a wiki post, please edit it when you find a solution to an issue you encountered
Old Issues
Kwin crashes on startup on Pinebook Pro
This seems to be related to Mesa 20.3 and the Pinebook Pro support in kernel 5.10, as this does not seem to happen on other devices.
It does not impact 3d performance as far as I can tell. Just the OpenGL compositing in Kwin. Fixed with mesa 20.3.2-2.
My VPN no longer connects
OpenVPN 2.5.0 changed how VPN routes work.
Workaround is to downgrade to previous version (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.
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
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:
Noticed that the newer kernel give some graphical glitches on the 2nd screen with my Pinebook Pro. Using the USB-C Docking Deck and an older Apple Cinema Display. Switched back to linux-pinebookpro, which still works fineā¦
Can paste a photo later after reboot from microSD.
On my PB pro, update went well. Rebooted. Started using PBP, and Simplenote. I was plugged into USB power (~77% charged). About 10 minutes after the update and reboot, I stopped working on the PBP and when I came back to it the screen was locked and the power indicator on the PBP was fast flashing. Powered down the PBP and booted back up. It has been running fine for the last 20+min. Not sure of the cause of the lockup and fast flash power indicatorā¦but will keep my eye on it (first time I have experienced that behavior).
Still getting lockups when sitting not in use, but no flashing power indicator now. It responds to plugging and unplugging the USB cable (chime and screen comes un-dim) but screen is frozen with no mouse response and running cpu monitor is frozen (looks like CPU cores were spiking at around 60+% at the moment it froze). Checked power management, I only have āDim Screenā ā¦no suspend or energy savingā¦ May have to do a clean reinstall since I am not seeing other reports of this issue.
No issues on my RPi 4 running 4Kp60. Might try switching to the testing branch. Only minor issue Iām seeing is no graphs in any of the system monitor widgets in KDE Plasma.
I have been using sway on Odroid N2. After update, I noticed that the display did not respond to the keyboard shortcut I use to run a alacritty. When I used the run menu to invoke alacritty directly, the program did not run. Instead, the screen started to flicker. I sshāed in and looked at journalctl -e and found this:

Could the panfrost entry have something to do with my problem?
So, after latest update, my pinephone wonāt bootā¦ I burned image to SD-card, booted from it and mounted a boot partition. But, I donāt know, what should i do now. There is no extlinux folder. I would be grateful for your help.
UPD: I installed a clean image of the system on emmc and then updated. Itās okay now. It looks like I missed one message that came up while updating:
Replace āmmcblkXā with āmmcblk0ā for SD-card and āmmcblk2ā for eMMC.
Default RAM clock speed is 528 MHz on PC1066 DRAM. You may choose other speeds,
if you see crashes:
For slower RAM clock speed (492) use āu-boot-sunxi-with-spl-pinephone-492.binā
For middle RAM clock speed (552) you may want āu-boot-sunxi-with-spl-pinephone-552.binā
For faster RAM clock speed (592) you may want āu-boot-sunxi-with-spl-pinephone-592.binā
For high RAM clock speed (624) you may want āu-boot-sunxi-with-spl-pinephone-624.binā
Removing old extlinux folder
Can not update my system. Pacman gives " GPGME error: No data. " and also reports that PGP signature of packages is damaged. So it fails to sync all databases. What can I do?
Iāve felt quicker screen response on sway too. Youtube videos, for instance, seem rock solid as long as they are played in full screen mode. There is occasional flickering otherwise. On sway, however, Iāve seen:
sections of the desktop blinking or blank out. I had misstated this it my previous post. The screen did not flicker, it was actually parts of the screen.
alacritty bomb on start up with the message āThere was an error initializing the shaders: Failed compiling shader: 0:1(10): error: GLSL 3.30 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, and 1.00 ESā
termite suddenly getting gray bands blanking out parts of the terminal. if you wait long enough parts of terminal will be blanked out, but will come back if the mouse is moved or a key pressed.
Iām not sure what is causing all these phenomena. They might be sway specific, since you donāt have problems with kde.
The āpanfrost ffe40000.gpu: AS_ACTIVE bit stuckā seemed suspicious, but I could not find anything on the web, so I thought I should ask about it. Does your journalctl log have any entries like that?
I havenāt tested my most used USB-C charger yet, but so far it seems as though the USB-C charging issue is fixed with this update for those affected by it.
Panfrost on the Bifrost cards are in very rapid development these days, so you might see the development better if you install mesa-git and linux-rc kernel.
But as I said. Itās in heavy development, so things change often.
