On your phone the video files are not recognized.
Well I have a few null mp4 files (0 byte), created today, because when I try to record a video it does not work and produces and empty file (since the upgrade).
-
Better to zap all invalid files and see if the valid ones can be played then.
-
The valid ones cannot be played. I've removed all the invalid files rebooted, it does not work any better.
After deleting and rebooting:

@pparent said in VP22 Upgrade from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 failed:
Unable to discover
I tried to stuff a .webm file into the imported directory and restarted the service, it produced the same error. Since it seems that the video library is currently unable to play webm files, it seems indeed that the video libs are broken somehow since the mp4 files are not seen as valid (play quite well on my fp5).
Yet you seem to have gstreamer library on your system. No clear idea to go forward and it's a bit late now :-(. "sudo snap install mpv" should give you the ability to play the files but it will not prove anything about the libraries since snap application packages all their libraries and don't use system libraries. -
Could It possibly come from a configuraiton file in my home (in .config or .cache )?
Because if I have flashed the system twice, then the system itself should be 100% verbatim the same of other people running it on VP22 no?
-
@pparent Another try is to switch to 24.04-1.1 daily (system parameters) to see if it fix or not the issue. And after to go again to stable. Sometimes it works.
-
Great I have found a solution, I have removed
.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.aarch64.binThe rebooted, and I can record a video and view it again!
Thank you everyone!

EDIT: And playback performance seem better than before the upgrade!
-
wow great job !
I'd think that the upgrade could have removed the cache all by itself though, so filing an issue at gitlab would be interesting nonetheless. -

Maybe it would have done so, if it hadn't failed in the first place...

-
maybe (I did not check the code on that) but you installed a new version successfully right ? Even if you checked 'don't erase user data', if a new version can be not compatible with the cached data, the cached data should go (after all, it should not hold any interesting data if it conforms to its name)
-
Where should I report the bug?
-
Logic would say the installer on Github. However the issues are not actively followed, it's obvious that there is not a lot of people monitoring or even janitoring the list. So maybe give a first try to the port for your device, after all we don't know if there are special handling per device for this.
-
Got hit by the failed OTA on my VP22 (stable channel). How long does the ubports installer usually take to flash from recovery? 3 attempts with the appimage have resulted in 15 minutes+ of the installer stuck at "Activating slot a" with the phone showing the fastboot menu along with the incredibly unhelpful "Text" as the output log.
-
3600 seconds limit for edits? Really?!?
Anyway, another attempt on a Mint Debian Edition computer instead of my usual minimal Devuan install gets further along. Hopefully it's ready within an hour so I can update my post.
EDIT: flashing worked fine, also VoLTE is active now, which is nice.
-
Since last upgrade I seem to experience occasionally system crashes, or rather freezes: the system does not respond and I have to reboot. I did not have such problems before the upgrade.
It seems to happen more when recording a video, when terminating a call, but It also happened in random moments like, just after starting Signal UT.
Anyone else noticed that?
-
While I don't have a VP22, I also did the same upgrade on my FP5, I have triggered a similar looking crash by doing more or less cheesy things with the dialer (I did not manage to repro it unfortunately).
I could connect to the phone via ssh and to launch top, all the signs of an oom were presents (no more free swap, swap process taking all the cpu time). I did not have the time to do any tests, at this point a Linux system is all but finished.
Another symptom was that the phone was unnaturally hot. -
I've tried to access the shell when the phone freezed, but It does not reply.
Honestly the frequency of freezes is quite alarming, it almost never happened before 24.04.1.1 .
-
maybe this problem could be related ?
-
I almost do not use Waydroid, the crashes and freezes happen when waydroid is not started and have not been started since boot.
Well I've investigated and it seems to be an out of memory problem.
Because I realize that now if I start a few apps (like the Morph browser + whatsweb + Signal UT ) then I rapidly run out of Ram AND Swap. (I can see it in top)
Then my question is why did it not happen before? Is the memory usage is higher in 24.04-1.1 compared to 24.04-1.0 and if so why ?
And secondly why do we have so few swap (2 Go) if there are Out of Memory problems? Or maybe we had more swap in 24.04-1.0 and it was reduced ?
Is it possible to increase the swap?
Edit: By the way I've reported the problem here. https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/reference-device-ports/android11/volla-phone-22/volla-mimameid/-/issues/24

Ps: I also just experimented a black screen when receiving a call. In Adb I could see the phone was not in out of memory at that time. The phone was vibrating and I could not turn on the screen to see the call.
Although previously in this boot I had an Out of Memory problem, it freezed temporarilly, but the system recovered, so I wonder if some important system processes may have been killed in the process.
Honestly I'm wondering whether I should downgrade, because this starts to be a real problem.
