--- Comment #1 from Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+...@kernel.org> --- It actually seems to be a bug at va-api or libvlc. From the logs, it is trying to load libva-intel-driver, but either your machine is using a different GPU or this package is not installed. Here, when I start Kaffeine (on a machine with an Intel GPU), it displays: libva info: VA-API version 0.40.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/i965_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_40 failed to open /usr/lib64/dri/hybrid_drv_video.so Failed to wrapper hybrid_drv_video.so libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 [00007f3a18f5d000] avcodec decoder: Using Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Skylake - 1.8.3 for hardware decoding And video plays. If, otherwise, I force Kaffeine to use a wrong driver: $ LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="r600" kaffeine libva info: VA-API version 0.40.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: User requested driver 'r600' libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/r600_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_40 libva error: /usr/lib64/dri/r600_drv_video.so init failed libva info: va_openDriver() returns 2 [00007fcc10001e80] glconv_vaapi_x11 gl error: vaInitialize: resource allocation failed It tries it three times, then it crashes. On your machine, it is either selecting a wrong driver (maybe LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME is set?) or your specific video adapter is not supported by the Intel driver. A simple solution is to remove the libva package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
