kwin with X11 has been crashing on startup due to the compositor for me on RPi4. With Wayland, no issue. With X11, I switch to Xrender and that works OK.
Note: The kwin issue is not with my XFCE4 testing image but rather my KDE unstable image.
Problem introduced with the new kernel 5.9.13 on 09-Dec is still present.
When charging the PBP using the USB-C connector, I see the kernel logging the following message repeatedly: kernel: cdn-dp fec00000.dp: [drm:cdn_dp_pd_event_work [rockchipdrm]] Not connected. Disabling cdn
It also causes lots of ‘chirping’ from the speakers! My only solution for now is to not charge by USB-C.
First the raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-bootloader-x version 20201207-1 boots just fine with the latest linux-rpi4 5.4.83-1 kernel with my pi3 model B.
The latest raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-bootloader-x version 20201214-1 gives a black screen and nothing happens at boot with my pi3 model B with the linux-rpi4 5.4.83-1 and the linux-rpi4-mainline 5.10.0 kernels.
The raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-bootloader-x version 20201207-1 boots with the linux-rpi4-mainline 5.10.0 kernel but there are several kernel stack traces mostly involving the network and you are restricted what you can do in the DE because of it using the pi3 model B.
Bottom line is STAY AWAY from the linux-rpi4-mainline 5.10.0 kernel and the raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-bootloader-x version 20201214-1 packages until they get things fixed if you are using the pi3 model B.
pushed to branch master/bc5735e8cddfae053f114a7e98be551d86d6ddc1) · v87.0.4280.88-2 – libre2 rebuild
EDIT: removed punctuation from gitlab link that was breaking it. UPDATE: When I first posted, the caidao release to fix the issue was in the pipeline, presumably building and testing. As of now, (19 December, 17:15 New York time) the status is “pipeline failed”.
I’m failing in the “checking for file conflicts” step for the dolphin package:

@BBreeziN
Yes. Think your pacman database is damaged.
First try to synchronize with pacman -Syy
If this does not help there is a Arch Wiki page for that problem.
Did anyone get the following warning when updating?
warning: could not get file information for var/log/audit/
Aside from that, it took a couple of reboots for everything to iron itself out. After the first reboot I received an error message about a seg fault in kwin_x11:
Only other first impressions are that Firefox seems to be sluggish to start up, and the bouncy loading animations are gone when launching programmes on KDE.
Yes, It seems to be an issue with our DP Altmode patches, since it does not happen on another rk3399 device (Rock Pi 4).
Yes. This seems to be caused by a regression in Panfrost.
Again, I have not seen this issue on other devices. So could also be because of the DP Altmode patches.
Definitely some sort of graphical regression going on the PBP.
Wayland
Wayland is still improving. It’s getting more and more usable. I haven’t spent much time with it since the update, but Firefox seems to be triggering less graphical glitches. Not sure whether it’s new, but I’ve noticed that the cursor seems to have less fluid motion when moving in front of certain windows, such as Firefox or Spyder. Still has the annoying bug where re-arranging taskbar icons crashes the session, sending you back to the login screen. However, small steps and whatnot.
On my PinebookPro, everything is fine. kwin_X11 doesn’t crash, no matter which rendering backend is used. However, scale method is set to ‘Crisp’, due to warning on scale method ‘Accurate’.
I have the same issue with lima drivers on tv-box(S905X). I think the problem is in mesa 20.3 (the same with mesa-git)
Previously, when the glmark2 was launched, there were no such messages:
I switched to mesa-20.2.3 with the command: sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa-20.2.3-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz
Now I have a performance boost (~ +50% more frames with glmark/glmark2-es2) with mesa-20.2.3 and kernel 5.10.
How to switch to the wayland? I installed plasma-wayland-session but have black screen after login …
