Problem with Wifi, Sleep, Video and PGP signature - Anarethos - 03-30-2025

Hi everyone!

After 2 years in my drawner, I decided to revive my Pinebook Pro. I wanted to use it to watch Youtube video, Spotify and my Plex media when in the bedroom (don't have any TV there).

So, I downloaded the latest Pinebook Pro image from Manjaro (Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-23.02) and reinstalled the whole laptop.

Saddly, I found out that this version has some problems that previous one didn't had :
- When put to sleep, the computer don't come back on. Must force poweroff
- Wifi stop working on reboot. Needs poweroff/poweron
- Videos are sluggish on Youtube

So, I decided to try a previous ISO I had (Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-21.12) and I have none of theses problem with the Pineboook Pro!

But I have, then, another problem : completly unable to update anything! I always get PGP error. I tried to :
pacman-mirrors -f5
pacman -Syy manjaro-keyring archlinux-keyring

None of them fiex my PGP problem.

So ...

how can I use the old version and update it correctly OR how can I use the new one and get by the old stability (sleep, wifi, video accelaration) ?

My understanting of Linux is not good enough for me here.

Thanks in advance for you help!

Have you tried this?

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/howto-solve-keyring-related-issues-in-manjaro/96949

When I ran into that it didn't work as expected the first time but eventually I got it to work. Sadly I didn't bother to document what I did.

In the meanwhile you can make sure the CPU clocks are running fast enough. I recently set mine up to watch March Madness and found out that at 1416MHz on all 6 processors it works adequately. 1416 on four and 1800 on the other two and it's very good. And that's without the video acceleration that you should have with Manjaru.

Ok. I will test.

For the CPU speed, how do I check/adjust that?

Thanks!

I'm not much of a linux user (my wife is though she might not even know it Smile

) but in NetBSD, which I use:

Code:
sysctl -a | grep freq

sysctl -w machdep.cpufreq.cpu4.target=1800

sysctl -w machdep.cpufreq.cpu0.target=1416

BTW, this is going to reduce your battery life (maybe a lot) and depending on ambient conditions (and whether you're charging) possibly make your PBP overheat.

Finally I gave up on making pacmac works on the 21.12 image. I found that I also had the 22.04 image which was OK (wifi, speed, sleep mode) and pacmac works with that one so I am good to go right now.
