It appears forwarding was blocked by uncertainty around comments made by the upstream reporter saying he would not accept it (although I'm not sure he himself is upstream):
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783169#c7 At the time I ignored that comment because it's not a good enough reason to reject the approach. The patch we use in comment #12 above is trivial and perfectly solves this bug. However the upstream comment is about the same approach not solving other issues that might arise from a user setting his/her own *_BACKEND environment variables. I don't think that upstream comment should be considered a blocker. While valid, it is not pragmatic and the patch we use is perfectly safe and closes the bug. Upstream really is asking us to solve larger gstreamer design problems which Ubuntu isn't interested in solving right now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698287 Title: VA-API fails to initialize in a Gnome Shell Wayland session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libva/+bug/1698287/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
