Re: Raspberry Pi 4 / Fedora 32 / Kernel 5.6

Hi, since I am quite happy now with the RPi 4B and Workstation 32 on, it is still not fit for the purpose of streaming video of some old cctv cameras that only work via a browser flash plugin.

Two options exist:

1) Firefox w/ install instructions from https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/using-adobe-flash/ which fail:
  - package flash-plugin-32.0.0.363-release.i386 does not have a compatible architecture
  - package flash-plugin-32.0.0.363-release.x86_64 does not have a compatible architecture

and

2) Chromium following these instructions which work fine on my desktop computer:

sudo gtar xzf flash_player_ppapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz -C /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/PepperFlash/
cd /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/PepperFlash/
sudo chown -R root:root *

However both fail on the RPi 4B when testing them https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ Other than flash video content plays fine on it.

Any ideas for a quick fix and/or what is planned upstream?

BTW, if anyone tries to set up a hotspot that should remember to run "sudo nm-connection-editor" and change the firewall setting from "default" to e.g. Workstation. Otherwise, it will not allow to connect when firewalld is not installed. It took me quite some time to figure out that one.

Regards, Thomas B

I removed cma= but it had no effect, see below.

Thanks, Thomas


Fedora-Workstation-32-20200416.n.0.aarch64.raw.xz

/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

  set kernelopts="root=UUID=72ca87a8-123e-4645-a352-05639bb65638 ro
cma=256MB "


You should update both EFI/fedora/grub.cfg and EFI/fedora/grubenv
