Hi, After reinstalling someone's desktop which has support for VA-API, 'vainfo' from 'libva-utils' would consume all the memory then crash. Other applications relying on libva would crash as well, e.g. ffmpeg (or its users, such as vlc/jami). Here's a sample output from VLC:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- vlc received_605209834855384.mp4 VLC media player 3.0.18 Vetinari (revision 3.0.13-8-g41878ff4f2) [000000000109d770] main libvlc: Lancement de vlc avec l'interface par défaut. Utiliser « cvlc » pour démarrer VLC sans interface. libva info: VA-API version 1.17.0 libva info: Trying to open /gnu/store/9pypr3c3y379shbwm9ilb4pik9mkfd83-mesa-22.2.4/lib/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_17 Erreur de segmentation --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- After tracing the process, I noticed that the last thing it did was loading its mesa shader cache, stored under: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Deleting that directory resolved the issue. It seems that'd be a bug in Mesa (for failing to determine that it should have invalidated its cache going from version 21 to 22 post core-updates merge). -- Thanks, Maxim
