We have moved to dual partition for Pinebookpro since 20.04, we advice everyone having any older installation than 20.04 to reflash to 20.04
Thanks to @Strit for all his time & effort and @tsys for sharing the Mainline Kernel patches.

The 20.04 experience is much improved over 20.03! Unfortunately, the new u-boot that ships with Manjaro seems to make it impossible to boot certain OSes from either SD or USB, namely the Chromium 79 build, as well as Q4OS and Armbian. Attempting to boot those OSes only resulted in a backlight black screen, whereas users who have a different OS installed on their EMMC seem to be able to boot these OSes just fine. I know my SD card is not the problem because I was able to boot both Fedora and PostmarketOS from it successfully with 20.04 on my EMMC. Other then that I have had zero problems with this Manjaro version.

Newbie: Issue with WiFi 802.11 AC + Bluetooth 5.0
Bluetooth works...
But no Wifi connectivity
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf is blank
inxi -Nnz returns:
Network: Message: No ARM data found for this feature.
Seems like the wifi hardware is unrecognized.
Next Steps?

Hello dear,
Sorry for the inconvenience looks like factory people have kept the wifi off using privacy key. Please press these 2 buttons and then restart it will work fine.

Hope this will help you.
RE: Manjaro ARM 20.04 - Der Geist der Maschine - 05-29-2020
I installed Manjaro xfce end of November 2019. I keep on upgrading without a fresh install.
When the screensaver xfce4-screensaver kicks in (either on its own timeout or, surprisingly through "xset dpms force off"), it blanks the screen. Upon a keyboard click, the desktop does not completely come back:
- I see the desktop with all its windows. Windows also show updates (e.g. top in a terminal)
- I can move the mouse.
- I can not click on anything.
- I can not type anything.
xfce4-screensaver would probably call that "Request unlock but we don't have any windows!":
Code:

Update 1: further logs
Before screensaver kicks in
Code:
manjaro:~$ xfce4-screensaver-command -q
The screensaver is inactive
The screensaver is not inhibitedWhen screensaver kicks in
Code:
manjaro:~$ xfce4-screensaver-command -q
The screensaver is active
The screensaver is not inhibitedWhen I press a key, the desktop comes back (but I can neither click or type)
Code:
manjaro:~$ xfce4-screensaver-command -q
The screensaver is active
The screensaver is not inhibitedInstead of killing xfce4-screensaver, I can also ask the screensaver to deactivate itself
Code:
manjaro:~$ xfce4-screensaver-command -dCode:
manjaro:~$ xfce4-screensaver-command -q
The screensaver is inactive
The screensaver is not inhibitedSomehow, nobody is asking to deactivate the screensaver. I don't want to do that manually all the time from the console.
Update 2: I noticed that I have the screensaver problem with fb-turbo, but no with panfrost. So, how can the screensaver get deactivated with fb-turbo? The more interesting questions are why and how does fb-turbo interfere with the screensaver in the first place?
RE: Manjaro ARM 20.04 - pfeerick - 06-01-2020
@spikerguy Quick question (yes, I know)... Is it just me, or does
Code:
sudo tee /sys/bus/platform/drivers/dwmmc_rockchip/{un,}bind <<< 'fe310000.dwmmc'not (or no longer) work on the PBP to drop / reconnect the WiFi card, thus saving the need to reboot? It was apparently working Jan/Feb judging from other forum posts, but doesn't seem to give any joy on Manjaro ARM. The unending spew of error messages in dmseg continues regardless.
RE: Manjaro ARM 20.04 - cefre00 - 06-04-2020
I am currently running 20.06 on my PBP and I managed to mess up locales entirely. After many hours of searching I found one post in the Manjaro forums and it helped a great deal, now I have my locales properly generated, while I have a Hungarian keymapping:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/kde-locales-messed-up/81204/17
Just wanted to share here, in case other noobs like me will have the same issue.
EDIT:
Of course default folders need to be generated again to have them in the desired language. I followed this post: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/locale-issue/53757/17
RE: Manjaro ARM 20.04 - tiagoespinha - 06-06-2020
@spikerguy apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but I've just had to reflash my PBP and went with the latest 20.04 - however I feel like the experience is slightly sluggish compared to the original image that came flashed out of the box (I didn't check what it was but I imagine it was 19.xx).
Do you have any clues as to why that may be? It's probably some config or missing piece of software, but I can't for the life of me figure out what that is.
I did notice other differences of 20.04 vs whatever was out of the box. For example with 20.04 we seem to default to libinput as the touchpad driver, where I'm sure out of the box the synaptics driver was installed.
On a more random and bizarre note... right after flashing I was able to connect to my 5Ghz network, but after installing all the updates I'm not able to connect to that network ever again. I can connect to the 2.4Ghz, but never again to 5Ghz. I even tried deleting the NetworkManager profile and configure it again but no luck. Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance! Thanks for all the great work and effort in general too
much appreciated!Edit: I should mention the slugginess seems to be GPU-related. With 20.04 I can't watch videos on 1080p on Youtube where I was able to out of the box. Right now it just stutters along.

Anyone who's reading this in the future... for the love of God, change your compositor in KDE to OpenGL
it was defaulting to XRender which made my Firefox slow like molasses. Much better now!
