But in fact it seems strange to me too that suddenly there is a conflict between altivec and the new kernels, because it would mean that we at Power have the problem specifically ... I don't know what is happening on X86 or Arm in relation to this fact...

I don't know how to report the problem and I don't know where to do it, I already the first time when I noticed it on the first version of 5.16, I started this discussion here on the forum but I don't know how to do it specifically and where to do it unfortunately ... I need that you help me in this regard ...

Here I just tried to compile and install the new 5.17 kernel but the problem is still the same as 5.16, something is missing and it does not start ... this is the error message at startup ...

I didn't know about the AST GPU to be honest. Personally I am still using 10.15, given the problems that there are on 5.16 so now I don't know if something has changed, I would like some confirmation before compiling a version 16 ...

Hi guys, I wanted to ask you something that I have never been able to understand well. For some time now, I have been compiling the kernels myself to make sure that I use options that are more congenial to me and be able to use the infamous 4K page format as my friend Daniel Pocock taught me. To compile the Kernel, both on Debian and on Ubuntu which is a derivative, I use the universal procedure and then I do: make menuconfig and I configure the kernel, make -jx, obviously I put the number of treed in place of x, make modules, make modules install and finally make install. At that point after make install the grub updates and gives me the new kernel and actually at the new start, I find it in the list of usable kernels. The only thing I can't understand though is, why when I give the grep command to see the installed kernels, I never get my compiled files? Consequently if I have to remove one of mine, I can't because giving the classic remove command, it tells me that that kernel obviously doesn't exist. I would like to understand what is missing in my procedure, which allows the system to recognize 100 by 100 the kernel compiled and installed by me ... Thanks to all of you always

Guys sorry but still have no news of Kernel 5.16 problems on AMD Radeon graphics cards? It's been a while now and I think it will have come to you via Fedora too ...

Guys sorry but apart from the Debian and derivative versions, is there a Fedora or other version of Chromium up to date?  I have not seen anything at the moment it seems to me ...

Guys I have noticed a strange thing since I have been using Chromium 97. There are some videos on You Tube that I get errors and they don't load. Then the same videos I go to play them with Firefox and they work regularly. It seems that there has been a step back from Chromium to Power and instead Firefox has taken a decisive step forward. I am using Debian as a distro and like Firefox now version 91.06 ESR has arrived which works really well, by the way I take this opportunity to congratulate my friend Classic for the excellent work he does on Firefox for Power. Returning to Chromium, it is really strange that a browser like him that grinds everything on the web, now has some difficulties. Obviously I have installed all the additional files that Raptor has published together with the main version of Chromium 97 ... Do you have any idea of what happens ...

Good MPC, interesting discussion. At this point we just have to follow the story and see if they will develop MakeMKV for us too ...

I understand so it is not usable anyway.  I had read that it was an ideal application for reading Blu-rays on Linux.  Obviously I always talk about original and regularly purchased software.

Hi guys, that you know is there the possibility to compile the MakeMKV application on Power? I just tried but I get stuck on the command: ./configure --prefix = / usr --disable-static
it gives me the error that says: configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one

As for the list of libraries you ask me, it seems that there is no library for us: libqt4-dev

Have any of you ever tried to build this application by accident?

In the various tests I have done, I have realized that the problem is not in some Kernel driver or even in pulse audio, apparently it depends on gnome.  In fact, as soon as I arrive at the login screen, the loudspeaker with the volume is regularly present and then disappears when you log in.  Trying to tap it on the login screen, it started working smoothly again even after.  There must be some small bug on gnome 3.38 regarding this thing ... See over time if the same thing happens to you too ...

Guys I suddenly got a pretty serious problem on Debian 11. I lost the audio, classic speaker icon at the top right and consequently no audio. I try to load volume control, it tries to open the preferences but it remains constantly loading. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Pulse audio but got nothing. I tried to force alsa to start but it doesn't recognize alsa, I don't understand what happened ... If I turn up the volume in the settings I get nothing, it doesn't recognize anything anymore, what the hell is going on?
