GT KIng Pro-KDE-linux-aml-6.1.58-1 upgraded successfully. All seems to work. Just that both Chromium and Firefox takes a long time to load “forum.manjaro.org”.

mesa-23.3.0, where did it come from?

You can follow up on our mesa commits here: manjaro-arm / packages / extra / mesa · GitLab

I find the repository description “Keep as we don’t enable the patent encumbered codecs” interesting. Manjaro is shipping software implementations of those very same codecs (e.g., FFmpeg, x264, etc.), so why are the hardware-accelerated versions an issue? Especially considering that the software implementations actually implement the patents, the hardware-accelerated ones only call into the hardware for that.

I just updated to the unstable branch on Pinephone on a MicroSD and i got a boot loop. Everything was fine with testing or stable.

It seems Phoc is trying to find libwlroots.so.11 but on /usr/lib there’s only libwlroots.so.12.

With Manjaro Phosh Beta 36 iso happens the same, not with 35.

I pushed a new phoc update to unstable. Beta36 I didn’t test yet, hence no changelog …

Firefox-121.0 Wayland session seems to work fine so far.

My Orange pi 800 system the 32 GB Version, does not have Real Time Clock 808, and so far any unstable releases from 2024, breaks my system and the earlier versions i cannot install anything on the old kernel, it goes into error with PGP, this is my output for KDE Plasma, Gnome, and Mate i have tried with no success.

Hi Everybody,

@philm ,

Here what I have when I ran the last unstable branch update this day on ODROID-M1 :

mkinitcpio -P :

mkinitcpio updated. I see most of the same on the rpi5:

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/rpi5-error-on-update-fails-to-build-images-from-preset/155244/2

@Darksky ,

My ODROID-M1 still booting but that’s odd that mkinitcpio looking for vmlinuz. Maybe an upstream mistake?

Had You pushed an mkinitcpio update to the unstable branch?

Wish You well

Mine boots just fine also. It is searching for known kernel image names to use. It does actually use the correct one in the end. They have done that before and and quieted it. We do not maintain mkinitcpio; arch-arm does.

@Darksky ,

OK! I see.

Thanks for your clarifications! :slight_smile:

Wish You well

I saw the same output on my PinePhone and Pinebook Pro. They both updated and rebooted successfully despite the “errors”.

…until @philm added patches with 37.2-1.3. :wink:

Seems the x64 mkinitcpio is not compatible with ARM. I’ve to patch the version from ALARM to fix our extramodules situation, which is rare here anyway. Thx for reporting. Hope everyone could recover their systems.
