My reasoning is that the Intel video acceleration driver is much more mature and usually performs better. And your Intel CPU specs suggest that it should be supported even if Nvidia is being used as the primary GPU. Although I've never tested VA-API in such a setup myself.
It's possible that if the BIOS has disabled the Intel GPU then using the Intel driver won't work. It's also possible that working Intel video acceleration might not be performant enough if it has to copy its results to the Nvidia GPU. It really depends on which is the "primary" GPU, which seems to be Nvidia now that I look at the logs in more detail. What is more certain is that 'nvidia-vaapi-driver' is not as well supported as Intel and so defeats the purpose of me suggesting 'mpv' to utilize VA-API. We can ignore all of this if you are certain the "lag" happens when no video is playing. So the next step is to see if it ever happens *without* Chrome running. I'm also curious if the machine is under memory stress, which you can check with: free -h As for the crash, that is now tracked in bug 2107454. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues #3753 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3753 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2107235 Title: pc freeze for a seconds, vlc lag, terminal lag, chrome lag To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2107235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
