Manjaro arm on Amlogic Tv box?

Wayland activated! Too bad it’s buggy (one time out of two, some application doesn’t display) because it’s really smooth and flexible. amazing how powerful this little soc can be !

No.
Amlogic does not have certain gpu regulator so that message is correct and not bad.

What you mean by psi?

It is a regression in Wayland as it is also happening on pinephone devices which using Wayland for UI.

You mean KDE Wayland Session is really smooth but some applications doesn’t display.

Good to know KDE Wayland now works on Amlogic S922X. The last I tried in Sep/Oct 21 KDE Wayland Session does not work on GT King Pro – Black Screen.

Manjaro-Gnome works well on Wayland so far with mesa 21.3.7.

Apparently it must be activated in the kernel to be able to launch Waydroid :slight_smile:

Hi, yes wayland is better integrated with gnome, but I really have trouble with it, I don’t like it. On kde I saw the difference Wayland vs X11 (Manjaro gnome starts directly with wayland) and it’s really smoother with.
Precisely if we change session x11 → Wayland, black screen, but if we set option to start directly with wayland it launches Plasma.

How to set option to start directly with wayland in KDE?

Hello, sorry for the response time. I am currently struggling to install armbian lol but with it I have the right processor frequencies, my 2560x1440p resolution is recognized natively, reboot and power button work fine. On the other hand I no longer have sound (fe.dai-link-0: ASoc: dpcm_fe_dai_prepare() failed (-22)) and I can not install on emmc.
In short, for wayland, install wayland-session for plasma (I don’t remember exactly the name) in pacman manager.
to test :
ctl alt f4 under kde_plasma to switch to console mode → dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland
to set:
system-settings–>startup and shutdown–>desktop session–>choose wayland

Do you mean something similar to these errors:

I have the above errors too but sound is available.

Thanks for the info.

I found the duct tape solution to the problem of changing RAM after bootloader upgrade (x96maxplus2, A2 modification, was 4 GB, became 1 GB). I have updated the android firmware by modificated firmware for other device (vontar x3) found on one russian forum. After that, the amount of available memory is correct

Hello Spikerguy, in your next release could you add this patch ODROID-COMMON: gpu/drm: add new display resolution 2560x1440 · tobetter/linux@248da29 · GitHub to in the kernel and maybe a am6-plus-OC dtb like this :Overclock kernel · Issue #31 · ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian · GitHub
You are the best !

Hello
You can uselinux-odroid for tobetters kernel as i maintain that package from his source.

I cannot confirm to add oc dts as i cant maintain it regularly.

Will look into it later though to see how much time it will take.

thank you very much ! :slight_smile:
just, what do you mean by use linux-odroid please ?

It is a kernel package from tobetter source.
sudo pacman -S linux-odroid

Am6 dtb is not present in it though. Try on other device or copy the dtb.

Hello, thank you for taking your time to answer me, the only concern is that I am completely new to Linux. you mean that once in the desktop environment I have to open a terminal and enter this command ?

Yes that is right.

Hi @spikerguy

Is linux-odroid also usable on GT King Pro on bootscript?

Overclock per my understanding from Beelink does not apply to GT King Pro Rev A model (S/N: SA9H…).

Would like to understand whether linux-odroid kernel is usable/stable on GT King Pro.

Yes. It will work.

@spikerguy
Does it also means the mainline linux kernel will also work with the bootscript boot?

Yes as long as there is dtb it will work.

Hello to all

I have the new Tanix-X4-Amlogic-S905X4-DDR-4GB-RAM-eMMC-32GB-ROM.
I’m trying to install the ARMBIAN for Amlogic S905 image Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_buster_current_5.9.0.img.xz for now, I try to use 2 DBT files meson-sm1-sei610.dtb and meson-sm1-sei610-ethfix.dtb, without success booting the box …

Is there any way to boot this box ? Or a new DBT file to test?

Thank you for your support and help in advance
