Just wanted to note that firefox-esr 68.4.2-1esr has migrated from unstable to bullseye/testing, so you no longer need to add the unstable version to work around the 'illegal instruction' crash. The packaged Firefox works fine now.

It's not just X11. This is true of my two installs of Debian with Wayland. One was working great for a couple of weeks, and a recent update blew this. No GDM3. I have a working SD on Buster, but there's no Plymouth and I get the firmware failure messages.

these issues sound really annoying. I have zero issues with kernel 5.5, mesa-git, and sway-git... it actually works very well. is anyone else using this setup?

A bunch of mesa/gl packages updated in Bullseye today, and everything is back to "normal".

This is my speediest, and otherwise most reliable installation with Gnome3, with the original @danielt installer. I'm sticking with it on nVME, and keeping a parallel test instance on SD, to test changes with u-boot/mesa/etc.

There's a crash when you push Fn + F1, F2.... F12

I'm on Sid with mesa from experimental, not seeing any crashes. Though for now OpenGL compositing in KWin is unusable, have to fall back to XRender.

I can't repro this.

What's up with gparted?
It never renders right, eventually crashing the graphical session - X11 and Wayland.

I just ran an update, but no mesa packages got updated. Still broken in the same way. Sad

Hmnn. Buster or Bullseye? arm64 or armfh?

My Buster Bullseye is doing well.


RE: An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro - xmixahlx - 02-05-2020

gparted works for me. no graphical issues. no function key issues.


RE: An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro - danielt - 02-06-2020

I saw some of the comments about broken graphics.

I haven't seen these before so I fired up a fresh install on an SD card and that worked just fine.

However when I rebooted back into my daily driver and the display manager (gdm) wouldn't start. Once it had crashed enough times for systemd to give up restarting it I was able to get over to a console and run an apt upgrade. The package list didn't look very promising (well... a new libreoffice is nice but I didn't expect that to fix anything). However after a reboot all seems to be well again.

Does the problem reproduce reliably. In other words does anyone think the upgrade has fixed it or do you think I spot it again in a couple of days time?
