[SOLVED] Browser error: old Intel (v3/4 Gen) HD Integrated Graphics

zpg443 · 2023-05-26 18:45:25

When doing non-browser-related activities, there are no issues. However, running current versions of browsers like Opera and Vivaldi in KDE with the LTS kernel by launching via the console generates this error:

libva error: /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed

There is no crash or error message within the browser, but pages load very slowly (15-45 secs) and sometimes not all graphics load.

However, Chromium 114.0.5735.45-1 does crash with

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

  auto -- enables all mitigations required for the platform [default]
  off  -- disables all mitigations

Individual mitigations can be enabled by passing a comma-separated string,
e.g. mitigations=residuals to enable only clearing residuals or
mitigations=auto,noresiduals to disable only the clear residual mitigation.
Either '!' or 'no' may be used to switch from enabling the mitigation to
disabling it.

Active mitigations for Ivybridge, Baytrail, Haswell:
  residuals -- clear all thread-local registers between contexts

$ systool -m i915 -av
Module = "i915"

  Attributes:
    coresize            = "3207168"

Changing the AccelMethod from sna to uxa did not help, nor did disabling VSYNC. There is a blacklist entry for snd-intel8x0m at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, but disabling that did not help.

Using nested KVM virtualization via /etc/modprobe.d/kvm_intel.conf

libva error: /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed

$ pacman -F /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so

You're using the wrong driver for your iGPU, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardwa … tion#Intel .

Thanks. Removing intel-media-driver solved this particular error.
