I created a patch for solving the VLC issue today.

vdso_datapage_vlc.patch:

FYI:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... da32ecb60c

Just changing back the type of wtom_clock_sec to 32 bits without changing back the loading instruction is likely to give unexpected results on PPC64.

Are you using 32 bits or 64 bits powerpc ?

Can you please try below change:

Christophe's patch works! VLC plays videos without any problems! :-)

Hi All,

I released the RC3-3 of kernel 5.1 today.

New:
  • gettimeofday patch for solving the VLC issue (Thanks to Christophe Leroy)
  • Linux Git log
It also includes:
  • X1000: compressed kernel (zImage) and uncompressed kernel (vmlinux)
Download: linux-image-5.1-rc3-3-X1000_X5000.tar.gz

Screenshot of Fienix PowerPC with VLC 3.0.4 and with the RC3-3 of kernel 5.1:

Please test it.

Thanks,
Christian

HI Christian,

I get no problems booting and running 5.1-rc3-3, but I think I've something
wrong with my VLC. On attempting to play any downloaded sample video
VLC crashes with the following message
Fontconfig error: failed reading config file
Gtk-Message: 21:37:37.726: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
: CommandLine Error: Option 'help-list' registered more than once!
LLVM ERROR: inconsistency in registered CommandLine options
QObject::~QObject: Timers cannot be stopped from another thread
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This happens with 5.1-rc3-2 and 5.1-rc3, and also 5.0.0.

I may have messed up an install of VLC much earlier.
Remove and re-install?

thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for testing the RC3-3. Please reinstall the VLC.

Have a nice weekend! :-)

The VLC solution is on the way to the official kernel source code:

shift in order to retrieve the lower part of it.
