Please finally fix this bug by SRU or something. Rebuild VLC, vainfo and so on. It continues to happen - see questions like https://askubuntu.com/q/1378418/66509 even with fresh Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (20210819) installation.
Moreover I have just confirmed this bug while running vainfo on Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS on VAIO F13Z1 with Nvidia GT425M using 390.144 video driver. Can't play a video with VLC player (see attached log). It is unbelievable. Fixed by using package from 18.04 LTS as follows: ``` cd ~/Downloads wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/v/vdpau-video/vdpau-va-driver_0.7.4-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo apt-get install ./vdpau-va-driver_0.7.4-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb ``` But it absolutely unexpected for newbies and inexperienced users. ** Attachment added: "VLC launch with MP4 from /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mwe/example-movie.mp4 file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vdpau-video/+bug/1890815/+attachment/5544396/+files/jammy-vdpau.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to vdpau-video in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890815 Title: vainfo requires a nvidia sofile not in repositories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libva-utils/+bug/1890815/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
