Public bug reported:
**Summary:**
On Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble), there is a mismatch between libva2 (2.20.0) and
intel-media-va-driver (24.1.0). Applications using VA-API on recent Intel
hardware (Gen 12+) crash with a symbol lookup error.
**Details:**
The Intel iHD driver appears to require the 'vaMapBuffer2' symbol, which was
introduced in libva 2.22. Since Ubuntu Noble currently ships libva 2.20, any
attempt to use hardware acceleration on affected systems results in:
"symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: vaMapBuffer2"
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Use a system with Intel Gen 12+ graphics (e.g., Core i9-14900).
2. Run a VA-API enabled application (like Kodi or a custom video processing
app).
3. Observe the crash or fallback to software rendering.
**Technical confirmation:**
Running "nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libva.so.2 | grep vaMapBuffer2" on a
fresh Ubuntu 24.04 installation returns no results.
**Proposed fix:**
Backport libva 2.22+ from the Questing Quokka (25.04) archives to the Noble
(24.04) archives.
** Affects: libva (Ubuntu)
