I'm planning to release a new firmware Ubuntu 22.04 when I have some free time.
Forum language is i ...

When updating Jammy, the Chromium deb was uninstalled automatically and replaced with snap Chromium.

The snap Chromium also uses mesa 21.0.3 and worst in the sense that it does not seem to support ozone platform Wayland (or my settings are wrong).  Have to change the Chromium flags to Ozone=default (X11).  But somehow mesa 22.0.1-1ubuntu2 arm64 or mesa 21.0.3 does not work well with Chromium on my device.

Also plan to remove the snap Firefox and Chromium too.

Looking forward to your Jammy release for GT King Pro.  Thanks.

Installing mesa 22.0.2 or now mesa 22.0.3 from mesa fresh kisak ppa seems to resolve the visual artifacts or visual glitches with mesa 22.0.1 from Jammy Repo.

If you have a GT King Pro with wifi 6 - there might not be a wifi 6 driver/firmware yet.

Hi JFL, do you have any news on how to activate wifi 6?

Hi @roscar2410,

I am not sure sure whether the driver for your GT King pro wifi6 is available in the mainline kernel yet.  

May be @beelink support, @darkstar or @spikerguy might know.

You can post your question on Manjaro Forum https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manj ... c-tv-box/34662/1389 or Ophub's https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/issues.  There are some Beelink users there and some might have the same GT King Pro variant that you have.  Some of the users might be able to point you to the right direction.

I have an older GT King Pro (Rev A) model and some of the newer wifi drivers in the "linux firmware" does not support my wifi on my device, and I need to copy over the "wifi driver" that I know works on my device.

By the way, what linux distro are you running your GT King Pro?  What works and what doesn't? Do share your experience here.  


For example, Manjaro-Arm-Gnome or Manjaro-Arm-KDE, Fedora_36_Workstation/KDE (boot using petit-bootdisk), Ophub's Armbian (server image) and Tripole's Opbuntu (server image) all works well on my GT King Pro.

Thanks JFL,

I will post the question in the forums you sent me. I have no problems on GT King Pro with this firmware updated to Ubuntu 22.04 gnome. I've never tried the Manjaro-Arm, can you tell me a usb-sd version?

Manjaro-Arm for GT King Pro is still considered on development but as far as for my use case it is stable.  

@spikerguy Manjaro-Arm for GT King Pro images: https://github.com/manjaro-arm/gtking-pro-images/releases

Select the Desktop Environment image that you are interested.  For example KDE Edition: https://github.com/manjaro-arm/g ... ng-pro-22.10.img.xz

i am looking for a replacement for my odroid n2 (coreelec), so i can watch netflix in 4k with dolby vision because the netflix app can only play full hd (widevine thingen...). guess the beelink gt king pro 2 with linux can also only play max. to full hd, right?

I  don't suggest you to flash to mmc if you want to run linux from mmc you can try manjaro which officially supports GT King series.
