Thank you @spikerguy will try it for you tonight.
I checked your scripts and config files I did no ...

Yes we use PARTUUID now so users can load multiple Manjaro ARM Image from different UI and that should not interfere in each others rootfs.

I found why new images were not booting from USB. I have updated the kernel and hopefully tonights image will work on sdcard/usb both.

Dear @spikerguy,

I tried it and it booted successfully, congratulations again.

I liked it a lot but need to mention that I had 2 issues:
First one was pgp key error, second one was a screen freeze after heavy usage.

Since it is a daily build both issues are not bothered me,
I'm sure it will run properly on stable version.

Thanks a lot for your great efforts on ManjaroARM...
Regards,

Hello @darkstar

Thank you for testing the image.

Yes the gpg key issue is known issue in unstable branch.
It can be fixed by running these commands

sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate manjaro manjaro-arm archlinuxarm

Copy the Code

I am not sure about the screen freezing on heavy load, That could be due to panfrost but I have not faced it yet.
Need more testing on heavy load to understand what is causing this screen freeze.

Thank you for your feedback.

Hi @spikerguy, @darkstar,

Flash [color=var(--tertiary)][size=15.008px]Manjaro-ARM-gnome-gtking-pro-20220125.img.xz on SD Card. It does NOT boot up.

I/O error on dev mmcblk0 (mmcblk0 is the SD Card)

I have seen this error before when I tried to update Armbian-Bullseye (on SD Card) kernel from 5.10.79.meson64 to 5.10.81-meson64 it basically rendered the SD Card NO Longer bootable. Same I/O error on dev mmcblk0. Other users also face this issue on SD Card with some linux kernels.

Flash the same image on USB Flash driver, successful boot up! Face the same "pgp key error," as @darkstar and resolved it with:

sudo pacman-key --init

Copy the Code

As pointed out by @spikerguy.

So far NO Kernel Panic/Total System Freeze issue. But I have tested it for less than 5 hours in total.

This image does NOT Shutdown/Power Off correctly, the GT King Pro Power LED is "ON" when Shutdown/Power OFF. Reboot also does not seem to work.

Good news with this image, you can boot from any of the USB 3.0 Ports.

@spikerguy: Thanks.

excellant work! I installed manjaro on my gt-king pro successfully

some bugs need to be fixed:
1. PSI serveice cannot activate, need add CONFIG_PSI=ON in kconfig and rebuild kernel
2. keyring need to be fixed :

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro manjaro-arm archlinuxarm

Copy the Code

when I install it into emmc, PARTUUID of rootfs is not correct at /etc/fstab, need change it manually

Dear @JFL and @alexandamiked

The bottleneck was direct boot without u-boot.ext and @spikerguy's idea to use partuuid on bootup config file resolved it.
Other errors and problems have simple solutions don't mind them, so thank you @spikerguy.

Now we can try multiple os boot 2-3-4 different Linux OS on same SD / USB.
From now on it will be much fun to play with gtking&pro.

Yes @alexandamiked
You are right, I just found out that in new images roots PARTUUID is also included in fstab, previously we never used that. I am currently looking into rearranging the bootscript files so in future update it does not break the emmc installation.

I will enable PSI in next kernel build which should be tomorrow or on weekend.
I will add that to the emmc install script in new packages.
Keyring issue is a regression in new pacman package, it is resolved in newer release package.

Dear @spikerguy,

Manjaro is not my daily driver, I fixed gpg error with commands you shared, thanks.
Yesterday evening I tried your last build again,
When I used firefox cpu usage was %100 it points me that hardware acceleration is not enabled or does not work properly.
I installed Chromium, tested webgl and 1080p50Hz video performans on youtube.
All over performance was good and this is the best ManjaroARM version that I tried till now.
I checked blkid & /etc/fstab and fstab was correct.
