Nvidia VA-API issues on Optimus Laptop #1581

Open onxzy opened 3 months ago

onxzy commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug

I am trying to get hardware acceleration on my Laptop but I never see any process in the output of nvidia-smi. To start I'm trying on Firefox with some video from Youtube.

What did you expect to happen?

Extra information or context

I followed the steps here : https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/codecs-and-multimedia-support/314 I ran ujust configure-nvidia and ujust configure-nvidia-optimus and I've set the media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled flag to true in Firefox. I have rebooted multiple times.

I also ran the CUDA test from ujust configure-nvidia to check that my GPU what working, and the driver seems to be installed correctly as neither nvidia-smi nor nvidia-settings complained.

On the about:support tab I see only references to my Intel GPU and the vainfo command shows that my Intel iGPU is used and not my Nvidia GPU:

$ vainfo

But it looks like Firefox is not using the ffmpeg runtime I installed using the tutorial linked above.

$ flatpak info org.mozilla.firefox | grep Runtime
      Runtime: org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/23.08

I tried forcing it but I get the following result :

$ flatpak run --runtime=org.freedesktop.Platform.ffmpeg-full --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox org.mozilla.firefox
bwrap: execvp firefox: No such file or directory

I am sorry if I just missed something very trivial.

Team is investigating vaapi issues in general currently so unstaling this.
