Performing verification for jammy.

I installed a fresh Jammy desktop VM, and installed all updates.

sudo apt-cache policy xserver-common | grep Installed
Installed: 2:21.1.4-2ubuntu1.7~22.04.13

I then installed a gstreamer stack:

sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-vaapi gstreamer1.0-tools

I then triggered the crash:
gst-inspect-1.0

This doesn't reproduce on jammy as is, not on this mechanism anyway. I know the
crash occurs as I can see it on:

https://errors.ubuntu.com/?release=Ubuntu%2022.04&package=xorg-
server&period=week

After reading

https://github.com/intel/libva/issues/700

I downloaded the libva source for jammy 2.14.0-1, and backported the following
patch:

https://github.com/intel/libva/commit/317c0fbea5405a27bf58505a6bc6b1f6414beb71

The backport is:

https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nNy3rsZj8w/

I built this, and installed the test packages.

I then run:

gst-inspect-1.0

now xserver crashes as we would expect. I also can't log in now either due to
xserver crashing. So we can now reproduce the crash.

I changed to a wayland session, enabled -proposed and installed xserver
2:21.1.4-2ubuntu1.7~22.04.14

I rebooted, and selected xorg session from gdm.

I can log in now, and the desktop comes up as normal.

I then tried to trigger the crash:

gst-inspect-1.0

and it completes as expected. xserver does not crash.

The package in -proposed fixes the issue, happy to mark verified for
jammy.
