I am having the same issue with the same version and platform.

Ledger Live 2.40.4
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
spawned internal process 111549
init
Checking for update
Update for version 2.40.4 is not available (latest version: 2.40.4, downgrade is disallowed).

I wonder if this libva error is related to this old issue:
intel/libva#278

libva logs are empty when I set LIBVA_TRACE=on:

➜  ~ LIBVA_TRACE=1 ledger-live-desktop-2.40.4-linux-x86_64.AppImage
Ledger Live 2.40.4
libva info: Open new log file 1.063245.thd-0x0001bfc2 for the thread 0x0001bfc2

This looks like a solution:
intel/libva#278 (comment)

Not sure exactly what fixed it, but after a few updates came for Fedora 36 RC, including kernel and nvidia drivers, this is now working on the same version that was experiencing the issue.
