Dear Maintainer,
I am currently out of luck to guess the correct addressee for this
problem, so please advise.
chromium doesn't start any more since some days with
libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init
failed
I'm guessing that the following is also broken for you:
vainfo
You could also try the following to see if the other intel driver isn't
broken:
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 vainfo
Did this used to work for you? If so, you could try downgrading
intel-media-va-driver using snapshot.debian.org (or upgrading to the
version that's in unstable, and hasn't migrated to bookworm yet).
Either way, chromium uses vaapi by default; so if the vaapi driver for
your specific hardware is broken, you'll have to figure out which
combination of flags to disable it work for you (eg,
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/tc5379/if_you_have_trouble_getting_vaapi_hardware_video/
) until you get vaapi working with your hardware.
Out of curiosity, what is the GPU and CPU that you're seeing this iHD
driver failure on?
