[WORKED-AROUND]video files not playing

t0m5k1 · 2014-08-14 23:36:58

Hi archers,

upgraded my system today & now it refuses to play video files in vlc I get the following output:

VLC media player 2.1.5 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-49-gdab6cb5)

I thought perhaps it was a driver issue (never had one previously so I thought I would check & install relevant parts:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

checked & realised I did not have all the intel parts for my graphics & installed the following:

Same problem & still getting both vlc & mplayer errors as above.

None of this was happening yesterday so I decided to pick through the upgrades & downgrade the ones affecting just vlc/video:

[2014-08-15 00:05] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libx264-1:142.20140311-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'

[2014-08-15 00:10] [PACMAN] downgraded mplayer (37224-2 -> 37224-1)

the only other thing I think might be causing this is the kernel upgrade but I don't really want to downgrade that because potentially that would mean doing it for all the upgrades!

can any of you archers see what might have caused this as the video file & others have been working fine & I can't see any other bugs or reports of this happening elsewhere.

thanks in advance for you help

intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

Same thing here with sna as of a very recent update. Switch to uxa.

you diamond

use this from the wikki:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection

and it solved the problem.

Once again trilby thank you for coming to the rescue.

Same thing here, but only amarok did non start, resolved with method above, thanks.

Weishaupt · 2014-08-20 11:20:34

Thanks, solved it for me, too. Had a segfault before.

I had the same problem; switching to uxa did stop vlc from crashing. However, after switching to uxa I've had the problem that OpenGL video output lags very badly—the video gets stuck on a single frame for a second or two. (Other output options like Simple DirectMedia work fine.) Though fwiw the computer I have Arch on is an unimpressive one-core laptop, but before the recent update that broke sna videos rendered with OpenGL had no problems.

Same problem here on a fresh install of arch this morning.

Applied to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf uxa fix about which did allow VLC to play even though it still shows the error. However it screwed with the resolution on my external display. lxranr was resporting 1360x768 it displays on only about a 2/3rds of the screen.

Is it possible to downgrade some packages? (I'm also planning on playing games in steam)

@fixles:
The problem with downgrading packages comes when other packages rely on higher versions of the ones you downgrade. All I could suggest is hunting for older version or asking around for specific version ..I'm not sure how many versions (if any) are kept in the normal repo's.

There is an upstream bug logged & a patch has been issued but as stated by the owner it is a plaster & not a fix which may be why we have not seen it in an arch version of the kernel
upstream bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76554
Arch bug:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41045?p … &pagenum=2
patch:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=104224
PKGBUILD for patched kernel: (not my creation ...double check this prior to build/install)
https://www.bloodycloud.net/public.php? … D&download

It is up to you if you try the patched kernel but I think I will wait for it to hit the repo proper.

I use Catalyst drivers on my desktop which dont work with Xorg 1.6 so have to downgrade Xorg to 1.5

I just did the same on my laptop and it also downgrade the intel driver and solved the problem.

Notes
I'm not recommending people do this but here's how i did it.
This repo is by the guy who maintains the catalyst drivers for Arch.
A less detailed explanation is on the Catalyst wiki page.

### add the following to top of pacman.conf above other repos

[xorg115]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg115/$arch
## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
#Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archl … g115/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/xorg115/$arch

### Add repo key

sudo pacman-key -r 653C3094
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 653C3094

sudo pacman -Syuu # NOTICE THE EXTRA u

Voila working!
Not much of a downgrade on the driver through
"f86-video-intel: downgrading from version 2.99.914-4 to version 2.99.912-2"

I don't have the links at the moment - but I was under the impression that this was fixed upstream for the 3.17 kernel package. Users on another thread here seem to have applied the patch to 3.16 and had success. But arch - as it stays with upstream where possible - will not include the patch until 3.17 hits the repos. I hope this is the case, as I'm looking forward to going back to sna as soon as 3.17 is available (my machine is too slow to make compiling my own kernel practical, so I'll wait). Uxa avoids all the really nasty bugs, but it is not as efficient, and there is a noticable difference in a couple graphics intensive programs I use.

@fixles:
glad you got things running again & without a patch

@trilby
it is kinda fixed & the patch is included in a RC kernel:

"Simon Kalteis 2014-08-19 13:07:33 UTC
Jiri Kosina's patch that more or less fixes this (at least for now and on my system...) is already in 3.17-rc1. So you could either patch your current version or upgrade.
:-)"

but the author of the patch said this:
"(In reply to comment #95)
> No more failures on boot or resume here so far, using Jiri's one-liner. Will
> see if this is consistent.
>
> Thanks all! :-)

Thanks for testing. Please bear in mind though that this is a workaround that makes the bug less likely to happen, but it's still possible that it triggers."

As you trilby I am waiting for the official kernel

latest kernel update appears to have the patch as I am able to use SNA now

Trilby · 2014-09-09 16:35:35

No luck for me. Are you using [testing]? Or perhaps are my mirrors lagging: which kernel version is it that works for you? 3.16.2-1 still has the same issues with SNA for me.

EDIT: I see 3.16.2-1 is the latest on the website package list, and there is no newer version in [testing] - so whatever fixed it for you did nothing for me.

so ...odd stuff for sure but I wonder how long this works for & why the above is so blatantly intermittent

I wonder if I could write a script that would check dmesg or a log file for the presence of "*ERROR* Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged" & if found to load a config to enable uxa lol

I have a similar problem and I solved with a downgrade of dbus and libdbus from 1.8.8-1 to 1.8.6-1

[uxiofp@pcacer ~]$ yaourt dbus
1 core/dbus 1.8.8-1 [installed: 1.8.6-1]
    Freedesktop.org message bus system
2 core/libdbus 1.8.8-1 [installed: 1.8.6-1]
    DBus library

To downgrade

sudo pacman -Ud /var/cache/pacman/pkg/dbus-1.8.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
sudo pacman -Ud /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libdbus-1.8.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

To avoid upgrade adding to /etc/pacman.conf

IgnorePkg   = dbus libdbus

uxiofp - I don't see how dbus is related in any way to these issues - and for most users the problems arose well before there were any upgrades past dbus 1.8.6.

EDIT: but seeing this thread bumped reminded me to test this again after yesterday's upgrade to intel-dri and friends to 10.2.8. I'm now running on SNA, so far with no issue. I'm getting full performance from a couple graphics intensive programs that have been serving as my tests (they had all sorts of issues 100% of the time with SNA until 10.2.8 or no issue with UXA except for *very* noticable 'lagginess'). So far I've also not had a kernel panic or any other issue. Fingers are crossed.

It seems that perhaps there were a number of related issues in the intel/mesa group. This fits with what I've seen on the upstream bug tracker and mailing list threads. Perhaps they are finally nocking the bugs off one by one.

Sorry, I'm newbie, maybe not the same problem.

Trilby · 2014-09-22 23:39:03

No problem - were you getting exactly the same error messages? If so, then perhaps it is more complex that I've been able to gather. But if they are not exactly the same, it would seem much more likely that it's a separate issue. So far I've not seen any other reports of dbus issues, so if you open a thread for your issue, we might be able to find a better solution than a downgrade.

EDIT: I see in your thread you are getting the "intel_do_flush_locked" error. So maybe this is actually related ... though the dbus solution is very very odd. Or perhaps it is just a coincidence: you get the intel error message because of one of the many current bugs in the intel/mesa packages - but simply coincidentally, there is something else wrong that is fixed with a dbus downgrade.

As I showed in my previous post's here the bug is intermittent in nature meaning that you can have all the latest version & one boot it will work & the following boot it wont!
I solved it all by installing the LTS kernel & is headers & modules etc & now I just watch the forums, bug boards & ML's for progress & when I see people reporting it's fixed I'll boot into latest kernel & retest.
Otherwise I use LTS & have no problem
