There was an update to Mesa over in the Ubuntu-X-Swat PPA today (by which I mean the “Updates” one), from 19.0.2-1ubuntu1.1~18.04.1 to 19.0.8-0ubuntu0~18.04.1. …Sadly, as I discovered—after installing the updates, then restarting and trying Kodi again—this bug is still present and still works exactly the same.
(While I’m here, does anyone know how I would file a bug with the nvidia-340 package? I mean, I don’t know how much we can do about that driver, given its proprietary nature, but I want to try, at least. I just want one of my graphics drivers working so I can use my media player again… (sigh)) ** Also affects: mesa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836979 Title: Kodi crashes with “nouveau_vp3_video_buffer_create: Assertion `templat->interlaced' failed” Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: New Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I’m not exactly sure if this belongs here, libva, mesa, or upstream somewhere. But, it doesn’t seem to be a Kodi bug, buggy is that program is. Kodi has worked just fine on my system, as recently as July 6th of this year, but yesterday (July 16) I tried Kodi again: I got a blank screen and a pause for a few moments, followed by an unceremonious crash-to-desktop. This happens every time I start Kodi, now. If I run it through the command-line, I get this: libva info: VA-API version 1.1.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_1 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 kodi-x11: ../src/gallium/drivers/nouveau/nouveau_vp3_video.c:91: nouveau_vp3_video_buffer_create: Assertion `templat->interlaced' failed.

So, now I’m back to using Nouveau.) I tried looking in Xorg.0.log: [ 17185.557] (II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID vendor "SEC", prod id 12620 [ 17185.557] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: [ 17185.558] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Modeline "1366x768"x0.0 72.33 1366 1414 1446 1526 768 770 775 790 -hsync -vsync (47.4 kHz eP) …that’s all that appears in the log when I try to load Kodi and a crash happens. I’m using Ubuntu MATE 18.04.2 LTS 64-bit on a Compaq Presario CQ60; if you need more information, I’ve attached a hardinfo report, too. I hope this bug can get fixed, soon. Thanks!
