Hello everyone!
I am doing a multi-thousand song/album import and after "a while" (time
frame varies) the terminal window I am using gets inundated with errors
such as the following:
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
libva info: VA-API version 0.39.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_39
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
So what I have to do is abort the import, start the import again, and
"resume." Then after a while, the errors start scrolling again. It's not
on the same track, not the same artist, not the same album, not the same
file. In fact I haven't found as yet anything in terms of a pattern. Seems
random.
I am running beets 1.4.2 on Ubuntu 16.04. It is a headless machine, well
technically it does have Intel graphics and the proper drivers are loaded,
only I don't use it. I always access the machine via ssh in a terminal
window. I am not using X windows, or any kind of GUI, only command line. I
am running the latest generally available versions of all software. In fact
I just ran a complete update on the machine earlier on in my
troubleshooting which did not change the problem at all.
Running beets is the ONLY time these errors appear and running beets is the
only way I have found to recreate the problem. Aborting the beets import
causes the errors to cease. Seems to show cause and effect.
The command line I use is "beets import <path to music to import>"
Here is my beets config file:
directory: /DataVolume/MediaLib/MusicLib
library: /DataVolume/MediaLib/.beets_database
plugins: chroma fetchart embedart scrub discogs replaygain
chroma:

replaygain:

quiet_fallback: skip

log: beetslog.txt
ignore: .AppleDouble ._* *~ .DS_Store
ignore_hidden: yes
art_filename: albumart
threaded: yes
ui:

paths:
default: $albumartist - $album%aunique{}/$track - $title
singleton: Non-Album - $album%aunique{}/$track - $title
comp: Compilations - $album%aunique{}/$track - $title
albumtype:soundtrack: Soundtracks - $album%aunique{}/$track - $title
I've scoured the beets docs, this group and Google searches in general and
have not learned anything that has helped. These messages make me think
there is something in beets that's trying to access the console graphically
though I cannot imagine why.
So, has anyone seen this before? Any ideas what is causing it and what to
do to address it?
I know there are similar errors being looked at in the Linux forums, so I
imagine they are investigating, but my reason for asking the question here
is more related to why beets is trying to access my video drivers and if
there is a way to make it stop. :-)
Thanks and all the best,
David
