YA problem with cawbird on venom linux ... #461

Closed bja-au closed 1 year ago

bja-au commented 2 years ago

G'day again,

When I start up cawbird I am getting the following ...

bash-5.1$ cawbird libva info: VA-API version 1.15.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1

... however all appears to be going ok except that after a while I get no media (pic or vids) and the following logs ...

(cawbird:24802): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:11:53.537: Negative content width -25 (allocation 1, extents 13x13) while allocating gadget (node button, owner GtkButton)

(cawbird:24802): Gtk-WARNING **: 13:11:53.537: Negative content height -5 (allocation 1, extents 3x3) while allocating gadget (node button, owner GtkButton)

... Any ideas please?

Thanks

Oh and also cawbird hangs :(

Looks like libvaapi (possibly just libva on Ubuntu) is either incorrectly configured or broken on your system. It's optional video optimisation support that (IIRC) is only relevant for some systems. iHD and i965 in the file names suggests that it's trying to load drivers for Intel APUs/GPUs.

The negative sizing is presumably because the graphics optimisation screws up the loading of the content and so we get invalid dimensions back.

Thanks for that info - will pass to those more knowledgeable than I :)
