Evidently this is going to be an issue when I sync with arch-arm next. It has already been posted in arch-arm forums. I probably will not sync until tomorrow.

https://archlinux.org/news/linux-firmware-2025061312fe085f-5-upgrade-requires-manual-intervention/

Is there any chance of getting to gcc15 or clang 23 anytime soon?

We are at the mercy of arch-arm.

I synced with arch-arm today and upgraded with this as they suggested or the upgrade would fail:

sudo pacman -Rdd linux-firmware
sudo pacman -Syu linux-firmware

The new linux-firmware “meta” package installed these new packages that is now split.

I don’t have an account on the arch arm forum. At the request of a user they rebuilt flatpak.
It would be nice to centralize the other packages before posting by looking at your pactree and ldd, it remains for me: python-gpgme samba seahorse seahorse-nautilus volume_key

warning: cannot resolve "kitemmodels5", a dependency of "manjaro-settings-manager"

manjaro-settings-manager-0.5.7-11 pushed to unstable when the mirrors sync.

Thank you.

It was problem free for me. This is the best OS for Raspberry Pi by a long shot. So much better than their official one. All others are debian/ubuntu derivatives anyway, offering not much difference.

Opi5-Plus-KDE upgraded successfully to KDE-Plasma-6.4.1. Thanks to Manjaro Team and Manjaro Community members taking the extra effort to rebuild some of the necessary packages to ensure Manjaro-Arm users can update their system successfully.

Great work.

Hi, I managed to upgrade my orange pi 5 plus. And it is work quite well except problems with colors. This has been happening, I am guessing since kernel 6.14, as 6.12 and most likely 6.13 were fine. All the colors are reversed red looks green, blue looks red and green is bluish. The orange pi boot logo appears fine but everything after has these colors reversed, KDE, Gnome and the terminal console. I was hoping it will resolve with updates but it is still persisting.
Any idea it is the kernel or something else that would have caused it?
Thanks

I have been using Manjaro on Opi5-Plus for quite awhile using bsp-kernel and mainline kernel on KDE Plasma Wayland and recently testing Manjaro with XFCE-Wayland. Don’t encounter the color issue. On KDE Plasma Wayland if you are on bsp kernel-6.1 due screen lock or turn-off monitor you will encounter color distortion issue. So may be try not to use power saving or suspend mode.

Have been running archlinuxarm Gnome Wayland before and also don’t have the color issue you mention

What kernel are you using?

I am on 6.15.4-2-MANJARO-ARM, but this problem was there for the last few upgrades. Looking back, I am pretty sure that the whole 6.13 series was ok but not sure if the problem started in 6.14 or 6.15. My guess is that somewhere low level, the RGB ordering is reversed, it is not just a font subpixel rendering issue. And it is happening on multiple monitors. I thought that maybe it is not necessarily a kernel issue but Wayland, however, it shows up when I choose X-org as well, but maybe now X-org uses wayland underneath so maybe that could still be the problem.

I am using linux-6.15.y kernel on Manjaro there is no issue. Have you tried burn another Manjaro-opi5-plus or armbian on another SD card to see whether you have the same issue? Try not to use balena etcher to flash your SD card heard there have issue (hearsay, have not use it for a long while).

That makes sense. If I am the only one having this color issue, than maybe something got corrupted throughout the previous updates. I will try booting a fresh image, Thank you.

199 packages in today’s sync.

I can’t register on their arch arm forum. I can’t get a confirmation email. It’s possible for someone with access to send them the information about libgpgme.so.11

Plus other possible packages from your systems.

I downloaded experimental mesa packages with the latest MR included for the vulkan driver for g31 and g52 family gpu. With that I can run some new application on my opi-zero3 (opengothic, ppsspp, ddnet, dolpin-emu and etc). You can try this on your devices

Is this same/similar to panvk packages from https://github.com/hbiyik/agrrepo/releases/download/alarm-aarch64/mesa-panvk-git-25.2.0.devel.r207876.d81e5c5aa3b-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz
