Hi All,
I created a bug report because of the VLC issue with the kernel 5.1-rc2 and higher today.
Link to the bug report:
Bug 110304 - VLC doesn't play videos anymore since the RC2 of kernel 5.1 -- bugs.freedesktop.org
Cheers,

Hi All,
I got an answer from Michel Dänzer because of the
bug report today.
Michel Dänzer wrote:
None of them directly affect the radeon driver.
It's quite likely that this is a PPC specific issue. Your best bet is bisecting between rc1 and rc2.
I haven't seen any other similar reports.
I was able to remove the PowerPC fixes
5.1-4 and
5.1-3 with the following commands:
Code: Select all
git revert 6536c5f2c8cf79db0d37e79afcdb227dc854509c -m 1
Output:
[master 4b4a8cf] Revert "Merge tag 'powerpc-5.1-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux"
Code: Select all
git revert a5ed1e96cafde5ba48638f486bfca0685dc6ddc9 -m 1
[master 0c70b7b] Revert "Merge tag 'powerpc-5.1-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux"
The removing of the PowerPC fixes
5.1-4 and
5.1-3 has
solved the VLC issue.
The problematic code is definitely in the PowerPC fixes
5.1-3.
I created a new kernel package without the PowerPC fixes for testing.
Download:
linux-image-5.1-rc3-2-X1000_X5000.tar.gz
Please test the
RC3 and the
RC3-2 with the VLC.
I posted my results to the Linuxppc-dev mailing list today. Link:
VLC doesn't play videos anymore since the PowerPC fixes 5.1-3
Thanks,
Christian

If I understand you correctly, you tried to copy the Fienix image with 'dd' as root to an USB stick, didn't you? If yes, did you select the correct block device node for example "/dev/sdb"?

Yes the partition won’t let me change partition permissions says it’s root but when I access it thru root cannot get the right script to allow /change them thanks . Yes to the question also.it says it’s sda1 and sda2 .its in media/tom/Fienix.the name of the unpacked file is Firnex-beta140916.img .not sure those numbers but generally that’s the name it unpacked with .its a verbatim store n go shows right up when plugged in. The CYRUSBOOT partition went ok file on there for bootup.but the FIENIX partition says it’s root and I do not have privileges.

Why are you trying to use dsync?
Just enter "dd if=/home/tom/Desktop/Fienix-Beta120418.img of=/dev/sda2" as root.
For further instructions refer to

And furthermore, if you really wanted to install dsync, you have to spell the package name right (hint: look at the hyphens in the error message and your following attempt to install in the shell window in your above screen shot).
(If you have problems with things like that, copy and paste is your friend.)
Best regards,
Niels

Fienix PowerPC in a virtual e5500 QEMU machine
Take a look at the following screenshot where you can see the QEMU command and the download link for the kernel.
