VLC media player for Linux and friends Troubleshooting • Re: unknown libva error [SOLVED]



My current system:

GTK 3.24.42 / GLib 2.80.3
Locale: C (charset: US-ASCII)
Operating System: Linux 6.6.15-amd64 (x86_64)

contained the obsolete driver:

vdpau-va-driver

that has been out of the archive since August 2019. This was causing the libva error

I removed and purged vdpau-va-driver and installed:

nvidia-vaapi-driver

the replacement driver I needed. This solved the problems described above. All affected package dependencies in the repositories now point to the nvidia-vaapi-driver.

au revoir,
