Bug#921418: Kernel update from 4.18 to 4.19 breaks vlc (update)

Show all headers | View raw

The latest kernel update for stretch-backports seems to solve the 
problems with vlc. This update was on Thu, Feb 14 2019. The logfile 
/var/log/aptitude says:

Then we may update the results table to:

Kernel     4.9.130  4.18.20  4.19.12        4.19.16
------     -------  -------  -------        -------
vlc-3.0.3  okay     okay     program_hangs  okay
vlc-3.0.6  okay     okay     program_hangs  okay


The tested kernels are:

package-version                     kernel-version
---------------                     --------------
linux-image-4.9.0-8-686-pae         4.9.130-2
linux-image-4.18.0-0.bpo.3-686-pae  4.18.20-2~bpo9+1
linux-image-4.19.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae  4.19.12-1~bpo9+1
linux-image-4.19.0-0.bpo.2-686-pae  4.19.16-1~bpo9+1

These packages are referenced by a meta-package linux-image-686-pae, 
which still has a different numbering scheme.


I don't know, what caused the problems with vlc, or what solved them in 
the end. I suspected at some point, that there might be changes to the 
"radeon" driver, but there are no obvious changes to "radeon" between 
kernel 4.19.12 and 4.19.16. So it might be a side effect of something 
completely different.

I learned, that old package versions can be found at 
https://snapshot.debian.org/ , if others like to repeat these tests.
