Pure speculation. Does the computer have dual graphics, the other device being intel? Did the user who fails ever use vlc with the intel graphics? It is possible that vlc kept that information internally, and checked whether the intel card was available. Are you sure you deleted all vlc configuration information? Maybe it checks somewhere else to see if the user has access to, or ever accessed, the intel device? When it failed the intel call, the call by radeon to allocate the buffer failed for some associated reason, wreckage left over from the intel call. Easy to check. You know it is working now. Remove libva-intel-driver. Is the problem still gone, or does it now occur again? What does the output show on the users that succeed? Is there still a call to the intel device? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/7O5O7ZZ464XPUVHSCYGFQ4GPW5VAIY2D/
