Kernel won't roll back with rpi-update?
I have one of those small 3.5 inch video screens on one of my Pi4s and it stopped working with the 5.4.0 kernel. I used this command to roll back the kernel to 4.19.118: sudo rpi-update e1050e94821a70b2e4c72b318d6c6c968552e9a2 and it worked fine. But now when I run that command rpi-update says: pi@h...

Re: Java Core dump failure
I had the same problem and it appears to be something with the amount of video memory. Try increasing it and see if that fixes the problem.

Just updated and vlc is gone?
I just did update and there were a lot of vlc related libraries and vlc is nowhere to be found now. I know there are some issues with this but how do I get it back in some version or condition?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: LCD35
I managed to get my other one working by installing new 5/27 RPiOS, rebooting, running the rpi-update rollback command, and rebooting again. Not sure why I couldn't get it to work before.

Re: LCD35
I've got two brands of those little screens that don't work with the 5.4 kernel. One is a Waveshare and the other is an goodtft/LCDwiki(?). The only fix I found was to go back to the 4.19 kernel. I managed to do that with rpi-update on one but the other I had to burn a new card with the 05/27 Raspbi...

Re: Notepad++
I've got wine on my Xubuntu box and Notepad++. Seems to work fine. I think it would work on a Pi too. Well... Aside from the fact that Notepad++ is written to run on an x86 hardware architecture and Pis use ARM architecture... Yes you need an emulator too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb-Ruos-O2...

Re: allo piano 2.1 dac , no audio after updating kernel to 5.4.51
I found a problem with the vc4-kms-v3d overlay and the new kernel was stopping my audio. You might check to see if that is enabled in your /boot/config.txt file. The fkms version works and no overlay works.

5.4 kernel audio stopped and Pi freezes - Update!
So I had two problems with the new kernel on my 3B+. First I was getting screen freezes. I would look away from the Pi for a bit and the screen would be black. No response to mouse and I couldn't SSH in from another computer. I'm not sure this is resolved but it may be related to the next problem. A...

Re: Moving Linux Kernel to 5.4
The new kernel has killed my little 3.5 inch displays. Apparently their drivers aren't compatible with 5.4. I reverted the kernel with rpi-update and that solves the display issues for now. I emailed the maker and if I hear back on a solution I'll post it here.

Re: FTP server -vsftpd show wrong time +3 from my time
I think it has to be a timezone problem. What timezone are you in? What are the contents of /etc/timezone? What is the output of the date command?

America/Chicago

Re: Java JIT availability on OpenJDK 11
I like Azul's JDK because you can get it with JavaFX but I don't think it is any faster than OpenJDK. You can also look at Bell Software's JDK, bell-sw.com, it also has a version with JavaFX built in. The advantage of Bell's is that they have version 14 available with JavaFX for ARM.

If it is the same package you have in your first post: sudo mv jdk-8u251-linux-arm32-vfp-hflt.tar.gz /opt cd /opt sudo tar xvf jdk-8u251-linux-arm32-vfp-hflt.tar.gz I think it will create a directory something like jdk-8_251.

Actually you've linked to Open Java which i'm trying to avoid as it hangs the boot for an hour apparently. This is why i've been at pains to get hold of the Oracle package.
