yeah i know that, arch is changing libvidstab version time to time, and ffmpeg depends on libvidstab.
The fix is force rebuilding the ffmpeg-mpp after a clean ‘sudo pacman -Syu’, or create a symlink the new libvidstab to the old one as you have done.
and kernel configuration master 
# CONFIG_NFSD is not set
if you have patches i can just add them to the github. I think ZRAM module is also not enabled as a module, now nfsd, i have noticed that PWM1 node of the dts is also not activated. most likely midstream is not too much tuned for rock5b in general.
Yeah it isn’t in midstream by default… I didn’t spend much time playing with kernel conf to make it work.
Having the 8BG version and running some hungry servers for work, I can hardly do without RAM compression so I fallbacked to previous kernel for now.
I’m trying to get an overview on which packages I would need for a decent gnome desktop experience. So far I think it should be something like:
base iproute2 mkinitcpio openssh gnome networkmanager
linux-rockchip-rk3588-bin linux-rockchip-rk3588-bin-headers
linux-firmware linux-api-headers
gnome xorg
ffmpeg4.4-mpp ffmpeg-mpp dri2to3-git gl4es-git mpp-git
mesa-panfork-git libmali-radxa-g610-bin mesa-utils
vulkan-swrast-panfork-git vulkan-mesa-layers-panfork-git opencl-mesa-panfork-git
mesa-vdpau-panfork-git libva-mesa-driver-panfork-git
Am I missing something here, or are some of these packages only experimental?
I’m asking again, this time even more kindly 
.
I just dont have the skills to create my own image for a nice desktop experience 
it looks good to me, some of the packages could be dependencies of others (ie xorg) but yeah …
for me at least all you need is gnome to get a gnome experience but i am a simple guy.
@Bruno may be you better keep it with armbian, arch wont bring anything new unless you really need arch.
Ok, great. I’ve added them to my public repo. They are now hosted pre-build and rebuild every week. Installing archlinux from scratch will go quite fast and easy this way.
Has anyone here had trouble getting bluetooth to work on the Radxa Wireless A8 Module? I couldn’t get bluetoothctl to pickup devices. I tried following these instructions https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/linux/debian#BT_Tip:, but that seemed to make things more broken. The instructions must only work for Radxa’s Debian image.
Also when I boot my board it can have one of two IP addresses.
The fix for some Bluetooth Modules (A8, AX210, etc.):
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
then add these lines somewhere (at the bottom of the file is fine):
blacklist pgdrv
blacklist btusb
blacklist btrtl
blacklist btbcm
#blacklist btintel
Then press Ctrl+X, then Y.
sudo apt install bluez or bluetooth – not needed to install since latest armbian version
systemctl status bluetooth CTRL+ C
systemctl start bluetooth
Then reboot .
I’ve done those things. I still couldn’t connect to Bluetooth devices.
Some people dont some people do. Either way it works.
Or it was working when I was using the A8
This is obviously for the A8. You want to block the Intel modules from loading. But I doubt you want to block the Intel module if you use an Intel card. Maybe A210 would work if you blocked the module that runs A8 instead, but I don’t know its name.
Realtek RTL8852BE aka A8 Module.
The name of the kernel module.
Maybe it worked for you (@DarkevilPT ) because your board was running Armbian. The instructions from the wiki page were meant for Radxa’s Debian. My board runs Arch ARM. I’m sure there must be subtle differences between the three.
I think it’s called 8852be. I noticed it listed in the output of lsmod.
@boogiepop I need ath9k wifi card driver included in kernel to get support for my wifi card, is it possible to included that directly from the aur package by editing pkgconfig? or do I have to recompile kernel myself from your git repo?
the default config is the same with Radxa’s Debian Config, you can DIY as below.
may be i should upload those pkgconfigs to my github again so anyone can PR according to their taste. But with AUR it is not possible to PR and i kind forget various changes by time.
