reassign 631555 libvdpau1 found 631555 0.4.1-3 severity 631555 normal forcemerge 631555 617940 thanks
I can play videos fine. But I keep getting these error messages. In iceweasel I even get three of them. It sure takes up a lot of screen space. All I know is it happen no matter if I use mplayer or flashplugin-nonfree 1:2.8.3 / iceweasel or chromium. $ set http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j93GN5K-Rfg $ chromium $@ [3:3:4120147238:ERROR:nss_util.cc(397)] Error initializing NSS without a persistent database: libsoftokn3.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $ iceweasel $@ Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $ mplayer /var/tmp/GirlsIvegotthemlockedbySuperloverCeeandCasanovaRud.flv MPlayer SVN-r33713-4.6 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory ... open: No such file or directory [MGA] Couldn't open: /dev/mga_vid open: No such file or directory [MGA] Couldn't open: /dev/mga_vid [VO_TDFXFB] This driver only supports the 3Dfx Banshee, Voodoo3 and Voodoo 5.

OK, guessing libvdpau1. First let's see what happens when... The following packages will be REMOVED: libvdpau1{p} mplayer{a} (D: libvdpau1) vdpauinfo{a} (D: libvdpau1) Chromium now gives: [3:3:4940383078:ERROR:nss_util.cc(397)] Error initializing NSS without a persistent database: libsoftokn3.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied I'll report that to them elsewhere. But iceweasel gives no errors anymore! So we see removing libvdpau1 fixes the problem. However we sometimes still wish to use mplayer, hence must install libvdpau1, and hence must deal with those frivolous error messages! In http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611705#10 it says "- remove all Debian *nvidia* packages" # aptitude search ~i~nnvidia|wc -l 0 http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=53144 # locate nvidia.ko|wc -l 0 That's because I always do things the Debian way and never install libraries by hand anyway, that' aptitude's job. Plus I don't even know what nv... nor libvdpau1 are all about, other than causing lots of error messages on the shell window whilst I'm watching YouTube. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
