How to use the new Kodi RPI on Manjaro ARM (by @Darksky)

If anyone wants to test kodi on the rpi:
Change to the unstable or testing branch and install kodi packages:

sudo pacman -S kodi-rpi kodi-rpi-dev kodi-rpi-eventclients kodi-rpi-tools-texturepacker linux-rpi4 xf86-video-fbturbo-git

Boot straight into Kodi

This means the kodi.service file need to replace whatever login manager you have installled. In my case I would:

sudo systemctl disable lightdm.service
sudo systemctl enable kodi.service

They recommend removing custom configs in config.txt. We ran into an issue if a value was set with gpu_mem=.

My config.txt with a bit of overclocking:

over_voltage=5
arm_freq=2000
#gpu_mem=64     #disable this
initramfs initramfs-linux.img followkernel
kernel=kernel8.img
arm_64bit=1
disable_overscan=1

#enable sound
dtparam=audio=on
hdmi_drive=2

#enable vc4
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512
#max_framebuffers=2    #disable cause kodi uses more
dtoverlay=rpivid-v4l2
disable_fw_kms_setup=1

Some notes:

The default user will be kodi.
Kodi home directory will be /var/lib/kodi.
So put test video in /var/lib/kodi/Videos so you can get to it after setting up the video directory in kodi.

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!

Donation

Please consider supporting Manjaro ARM directly via Patreon, Ko-Fi or Open Collective.
You can also donate to our upstream, which is Arch Linux ARM.

Known Issues and Solutions

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):

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 - #10 by Darksky

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.

Hi,

I updated my Odroid N2 kde… I hope more stability for the N2

I found it in the log file, I update my devices with pacman, not pamac

(142/144) upgrading uboot-odroid-n2                                 [######################################] 100%
A new U-Boot version needs to be flashed onto your install drive. Please use lsblk to determine your drive, before proceeding.
You can do this by running:
# dd if=/boot/u-boot.bin of=/dev/mmcblkX conv=fsync,notrunc bs=512 seek=1
Keeping old boot.ini file...
(143/144) upgrading vlc

what is the best solution to avoid “a no reboot” after this stable update ?

Thanks in advance.

I found it, it’s not the first time it happen…

There is still no clear solution to the reboot/shutdown issues on the amlogic boards. :frowning:
But they are looking into it upstream in the kernel. I think they found that some shutdown lock in the drm driver is holding it on.

PS: Those are weird messages. I have never seen them on any of my devices…

Yep, you are using linux-vim. That explains why you are still on 5.11. :slight_smile:

13

Ok, is it possible to switch to linux 5.12 ?

14

Sure, just install it with sudo pacman -S linux and say yes to replace linux-vim.

16

it’s done I reboot

Nice, the device rebooted, thanks a lot for your help, but my sd card is not mount for the moment… strange

18

noobly question: in order to flash the new uboot, where the dd instructions have mmcblkX, should I fill in mmcblk2 (not certain why my drive is 2 instead of 1) or one/both of mmcblk2boot0/mmcblk2boot1?

Thank you!

Updated to kernel 5.12 on pinebook pro, kernel panic after 5min will report back if it happens again

20

Should be mmcblk2 then. We don’t use the bootX partitions.

One more time Thanks a lot for your help yaisse
This 5.12 kernel is rock stable for the N2, less graphic bugs, the device is now stable fete
Only issue the sd card is recognize with lsblk but not with dolphin icon_question
nothing is perfect :-)
Have a good day

How can I get this stable update 2021-05-09? I’m on release 21.04, stable branch with my X96AIR (X96MAXplus).

I’ve tried several things, refresh pacman-mirrors etc., switch to testing branch, but I still stay in linux-vim 5.11.13.1

The ‘sudo pacman -S linux’ break my installation, Kernel don’t load, box hangs in boot process.

Any advice?

GT King Pro Manjaro-Arm-XFCE updated with just minor warnings.

Linux MNJROGTKPro 5.12.2-2-MANJARO-ARM #1 SMP Sat May 8 20:04:09 UTC 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Edit: Manjaro-Arm-XFCE-linux-5.12.2-2 still does not “Reboot” or “Shutdown Cleanly, need Power Cycle to Boot up”. On linux-vim-5.11.y it “Reboot” but have high chances of “kernel Panic” during boot up or after boot up.

Another observation is that there is hesitancy on the system at times even with cpupower governor set to “performance”. Other than the above Manjaro-Arm-XFCE be stable. Thank you for the great support.
