Bug description:
[ Description ]
Intel has requested us to update the media driver (free and non-free) to
24.3.4 due to the need to have Lunar Lake (LNL) and Battle Mage (BMG) support.
This request has a strong dependency on an intel-gmmlib version bump
to 22.5.2 and a libva version bump to 2.22.0.
[ Impact ]
* Users with Lunar Lake or Battlemage currently do not have an LTS support
option, which is not a good option for some users, as seen here:
https://github.com/canonical/intel-graphics-preview/issues/8
* Users with Lunar Lake or Battlemage hardware will not have
hardware-enabled media support, which can effect the power consumption
and CPU utilization of the machine during encode/decode/transcode
operations, video calls, streaming, etc.
[ Test Plan ]
# On a Lunar Lake or Battlemage machine
# Required at this time to get baseline enablement
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kobuk-team/intel-graphics-testing
sudo apt update
# Get the original versions back
sudo apt install -y intel-media-va-driver-non-free=24.1.0+ds1-1
libva2=2.20.0-2build1 libigdgmm12=22.3.17+ds1-1 vainfo=2.12.0+ds1-1
libva-drm2=2.20.0-2build1 libva-wayland2=2.20.0-2build1
libva-x11-2=2.20.0-2build1
# This should result in an error
sudo vainfo
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:mckeesh/testing && sudo apt -y update
# Only upgrade the media packages
sudo apt install -y intel-media-va-driver-non-free=24.3.4+ds1-0ubuntu1
libva2=2.22.0-1ubuntu1 libigdgmm12=22.5.2-0ubuntu1 libva-drm2=2.22.0-1ubuntu1
libva-wayland2=2.22.0-1ubuntu1 libva-x11-2=2.22.0-1ubuntu1 vainfo=2.12.0+ds1-1
# This should no longer result in an error
sudo vainfo
[ Where problems could occur ]
* This is a sizable change, and while significant testing goes into
making sure the media stack does not regress, it's always a risk.
Ubuntu has a large user base with many, many corner cases, and media
stack bumps can always accidentally regress a less popular codec on an
older platform. However, we can address any smaller regressions that
might arise when the benefit is enablement of LNL and BMG.
