Same "libva error" issue here, with an Intel Core i5-7200U CPU (Intel HD 620). I attached the output of running "chromium --enable- logging=stderr", the chromium's journalctl entries (from installation to first and second launch) and vainfo.
The iHD VAAPI driver wasn't available until Ubuntu 19.04. If the Chromium snap is build with Ubuntu 18.04 libraries, wouldn't that explain the error? ** Attachment added: "stderr" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1816497/+attachment/5369733/+files/stderr -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1816497 Title: [snap] vaapi chromium no video hardware decoding To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1816497/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
