libva error: vaGetDriverNames() failed with unknown libva error
Closed this issue · 5 comments
running "vainfo" command, it returns this error on archlinux.
linux kernel 6.5.3-arch1-1
nvidia-dkms 535.104.05-1
libva libva 2.19.0
libva-nvidia-driver 0.0.10-1
It's libva 2.20.0 update, just say vaGetDriverNames() failed to get driver name, if you set LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia it will work still. I set this env var all the time, otherwise it won't work even in libva 2.19.

Unknown why vainfo still says it's libva 2.19.0
@detiam thank you! You saved the day. I was having issues running CLion and your suggestion solved it.
I've updated the readme to better suggest that this setting is needed as the newer versions of libva have changed how driver detection works.
The error (and even the need to force drivers names) can be solved by compiling libva with the -Dwith_legacy=nvctrl meson build option.
Otherwise there's nothing else instating the nvidia name to the roaster.
How fix?
