Need newer kernel for IR regression

hbogert · May 14, 2022 at 11:51 AM

Does the project honor requests for kernel upgrades? Kernels between 5.10.x-5.10.80 introduced a regression regarding the IR receiver in common devices. Can we bump the kernel version and release LE 10.0.3 ? See this thread as well, IR Remote intermittently not working

If this is not usually done, is it feasible for someone who hasn't built this project locally yet, to make my own version with a newer kernel?

The wife is not happy, you know the drill.

Please give a link to the fixing kernel commit.

The patch referred to in the IR Remote intermittently not working seems to be here:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux…450831c8766d12a

Not sure why HiassofT in said thread mentioned that it's in 5.10.80, it doesn't seem to be included in the upstream kernel until 5.16.

Kernel 5.10.80 seems to be debians backports version. Does LE use debian kernels?

LE uses upstream kernels, so if the original change was backported the fix would also be backported and eventually end up in the Linux 5.10 stable branch that we occasionally bundle/package into an LE update.

It was merged in upstream 5.10.80.

Current libreelec-10 branch was updated to kernel 5.10.105 for Generic x86. So, you can wait for 10.0.3 or build libreelec-10 branch yourself, the fix is already there.
