Pocock excuse me, but if I wanted to use the GPU also on programs like VLC or others, then don't use vaapi acceleration only on browsers like Chromium or Firefox but use vaapi or similar to be able to use 4k videos on VLC or similar. Do you think it can be done? If so, how?
Thanks

General CPU Discussion / Re: IBM POWER9+ ?

« on: November 19, 2020, 07:07:36 am »

We all knew about a Power 9 Axon AIO given out for the end of the year ... The production process always had to be the 14 IBM owner made by GF ... I'd like to understand if they have changed these plans or if there is still a possibility that it will come out  ... On the other hand Power 10 is still far away and the whole server line would need a general update I think ...

Ah well, so we'll have that as Kernel great news. Kernel 5.10 should now have internal support for these GPUs I hope. I just hope there are no bugs on that as well otherwise it wouldn't make sense ...

Pocock do you think there will be full support for Navi 10 in the next Debian 11?  Do you know anything about it?  What kind of Kernel will it use?

I would be very happy, I am in the extreme south, Sicily to be exact, I don't know how you get it but in case you will let me know if it is possible. In any case, I still want to see the solution you sent first, let's see if I can understand more about how to do with the command ...

hi pocock, I'm in Italy, I don't know if I can interact with that channel that I think is American ... I think I can try in any case but I have to understand how to connect via Irc, I haven't used it for many years so I don't know if I can now use it and then find the right server to connect to ...

Hello all friends of Power, I tried a few operations but unfortunately I did not get the desired results. In the meantime I tried to run that command according to a guide I read on Google, but apparently it does not exist for Power as it tells me no match. So I followed another guide where it told me to install some file of which 2 I already had and 1 I didn't, and then to enable this time on Firefox, some options to activate this GPU acceleration but in the end it didn't work anyway. The only doubt I have is that he asks me Wayland as a graphic designer while I have always had and used Xorg. I wonder if that's my problem or there's something else... Do you have any advice about it?
I also tried to do it through VLC but the problem is always the same, it reads in 2K but in 4K it fails, I think because even then it uses the CPU and not the GPU...

Guys I'm reading now what the good MPC7500 recommended to me and I found what he says. In practice, it should be enough for me to run the command "sudo dnf install chromium-libs-media-freeworld" to enable the video acceleration patch on the GPU on Chromium and thus relieve the CPU of this task since the software for Power is not optimized unfortunately for us . I have the RPM Fusion for some time now as they are used to use other programs such as VLC for example that requires them before installing it and since then I have already installed them. I try to do this simple step and see what I get, it seems simpler and more immediate than the other. Thanks always very much to MPC for his excellent reports!

Great, do you think that by doing this you would also be able to find this damn bug that has been haunting us for months now?

Hi Pocock, I tried to use that command you posted to me but I get the syntax wrong, so I didn't quite understand how to use it. Can you write the exact syntax that I need to report on the terminal to make me better understand how to use it? Thank you very much

I also tried to write to Daniel Kolesa, he is one of the developers who deal with any Kernel fixes on Power, I hope he can tell me something about it ...

I hope that's how I tell you.  Before using Navi 10 we had to wait months and among other things they had to compile a custom kernel before it became usable in the official one.  In any case to date the Navi 10 problems on new kernels continue and they told me that it must be one of you Power developers who must find the problem because AMD doesn't even consider us ...

I doubt you will have the drivers available in a short time to be able to use big ships on Power ... For Navi 10/14 we had to wait a long time ...
