libva error: i965_drv_video.so init failed

Open pawlakm opened this issue 5 years ago • 25 comments

Hi,

I hope that I'm asking this question at the right place. If not please tell me where I should ask it. If you need any more information, please tell me.

I'm facing a systematic segfault when launching Kodi du to libva:

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/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_1
libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
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/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_1
libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The problem appeared when I rebooted my laptop after a sudo apt upgrade that installed a new kernel yesterday and upgraded a bunch of packages.

Here is the result of the vainfo command.

~> vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 1.1.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0

libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

As such I guess that it is not a problem with Kodi (everything was working fine until yesterday.)

The driver exists:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.8M mar 20  2018 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so

The result of uname -a is the following:

What I tried:

  • boot with the previous kernel, but it does not fix the problem
  • reinstall i965-va-driver package, again no success
  • force a redownload and reinstall of all packages, but it changed nothing.
  • search the internet for similar issues, I only found old topics, no "solution" appeared to be working
  • upgraded the bios of the laptop, but it chaged nothing.

Last but not least, the graphic card is an intel UHD 620.

I have no clue what to try now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

how about use root , not sure whether your account is in video group, whether you have the permission to access /dev/dri/rendD128 ...

XinfengZhang avatar Feb 24 '20 13:02 XinfengZhang

Hello, I get the same result when running vainfo as root, and current user is in video group.

pawlakm avatar Feb 24 '20 16:02 pawlakm

perhaps running $ strace vainfo might give a hint of the problem.

Here is the result of strace vainfo vainfo.strace.out Hope it helps

It reads card0 and all that at low level. But when the driver's internal symbols table is populated, it fails. In i965 driver, the population fails when the card is not recognized by the driver. This can be because you card is newer than driver, or the driver is butchered by the distribution. Anyway, this have to be checked with your distribution.

Thank you for your answer. I contacted them. Best regards.

Hi, I encountered a similar problem when try using Gstreamer VAAPI plugins on Ubuntu to hardware decode the video stream. When I run vainfo for i965 driver it failed. Here is the error:

mjzh@mjzh:~$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 1.6.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns -1
libva info: User requested driver 'i965'
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so

libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

Initially, the default driver name is iHD, and I have changed the driver name to i965, and driver path to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri as follows (The reason why I use iHD rather than i965 is that I think iHD is not officially supported before gstreamer-vaapi 1.18, currently I am using gstreamer-vaapi 1.16):

export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri

However, I can successfully run vainfo for i965 driver in root, as shown below (although it showed a error: error: can't connect to X server!)

Note that renderD128 is actually under render, not video group.

This depends on OS. Recent ubuntu versions (20.04 for sure) have it under render group. But prev. ubuntu versions (I don't exactly remember when this change happened, either on 19.04 or 19.10), had it under video group. I think CentOS 7 has it as video. Not sure about CentOS 8.

So, it's better to always check unless you run Ubuntu 20.04.

On Archlinux, I also have same error but chromium (and brave) works despite the error without crash:

chromium
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed

however my vainfo doesn't fail:

@pawlakm , I just checked your deviceID, 0x9b41 is not in https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver/blob/master/src/i965_pciids.h

XinfengZhang avatar Apr 09 '21 08:04 XinfengZhang

@newcanopies , if there are no /dri folder under /dev. vainfo could not find the device node, and open it.

I've got the same problem on Ubuntu 22.04 with Expandrive app:

AFAICT there are dozen or reasons why the driver fails, so it's likely that "this issue" is actually multiple unrelated ones.

Regardless, if you see foobar_video_drv.so init failed errors, when reporting that to the respective "foobar" driver would be the right step forward.

Where would the i965 driver reside? Is that in the Linux kernel?

please install iHD driver https://github.com/intel/media-driver, or sudo apt-get install intel-media-driver-non-free package

XinfengZhang avatar Aug 10 '22 12:08 XinfengZhang

from ICL+, you should use iHD driver instead of i965

XinfengZhang avatar Aug 10 '22 12:08 XinfengZhang

Usually your distro packaging can tell the homepage for each file - for Arch pacman -Qi $(pacman -Qqo /path/to/file) | grep URL).

The i965 driver lives here - https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver The iHD one - https://github.com/intel/media-driver

evelikov avatar Aug 10 '22 14:08 evelikov

Thank you all for the comment. I have a Dell XPS 13, on Manjaro. and I was experiencing this error. (the i965 driver is installed and used by default) I fixed it , by running these commands:

pamac install intel-media-driver
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="iHD"

Cheers
