Spectacle: libva error: /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed

Support Graphics & Display

Hello,

Today i found this issue in my Manjaro:

spectacle 
libva error: /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed
kpipewire_vaapi_logging: VAAPI: Failed to initialize display
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Then i try this:

LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=mesa spectacle

And this works for me.
Then i have installed intel-media-driver:

sudo pacman -S intel-media-driver

And after reboot spectacle works fine.
But probably some is wrong and should be fixed. I not sure. Just informing about found problem and solution.

My GPU:

That means that the driver for hardware video encoding/decoding was not found. So you did the correct thing and installed it. :man_shrugging:

Don’t think so.
