xvba-va-driver broken dependency

More specifically:

xvba-va-driver: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2) but 2.13-0ubuntu13 is to be installed
                Depends: fglrx-driver (>= 1:10-9) but it is not going to be installed

Confirmed in Ubuntu 11.04 final.

Thank you for fix!

But it still doesn't work,... Do I have to do anything more what I didn't noticed?

Fix commited, but not release yet.

Sorry, I mean "released".

I got it several seconds after I posted it. Apologize. But I really look forward for the fix.

I'm changing this back to In Progress as I'm still waiting for a review from ubuntu-sru.

The problem exists until now.

Die folgenden Pakete haben nicht erfüllte Abhängigkeiten:

xvba-va-driver: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2) aber 2.13-0ubuntu13 soll installiert werden
                Depends: fglrx-driver (>= 1:10-9) aber es soll nicht installiert werden

I've uploaded a fixed package to my ppa. It's expected to build in about 10 hours.

Please test and confirm that it fixes the bug.

Fixed here

I also confirm.

It works. But I don't try play video. I just have installed the package. So I hope it'll work,...

I installed it and tried vainfo and I am getting a access violation.

~$ vainfo

libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0

That is a different bug I will look into.

I've updated to a newer version of the lib and it should be working now. I've uploaded a fixed package to my ppa, so watch out for 0.7.8

Perfect thanks, but vaapi not play anything.
Sorry for my english.

Like first time, dependencies is fixed. vainfo is also works. But VLC is segfault when I try to playback video.

Where to find xvba-va-driver=0.7.8? In proposed updates?

0.7.7 with the wrong dependencies is still part of main repository?

It installs, vaapi shows no error, but VLC does if started with hardware accleration and trying to open a video.

@ Andrew:

I'm using your PPA & still get crashes everytime xbmc attempts to play any h265 content using vaapi.

I notice that your vainfo output (above) is:

$ vainfo
libva: libva version 0.31.1
libva: User requested driver 'fglrx'
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.31
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.7.8
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD

Mine is:
DISPLAY=:0.0 vainfo
libva: libva version 0.32.0
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.32
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.7.8
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD

I can see that xvba backend is there all right, as well as libva1. However, vainfo in my case is missing the following line:

*** libva: User requested driver 'fglrx' ***

In my case I get ***libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0*** instead.

I have catalyst 11.5 installed from the x-updates ppa. Any clue of what could be happening? Many people are reporting the same issue. At this point it is unclear where is the issue (libva, xbva, fglrx)

You can get VLC playback video using VA-API? I can't. Still segfault. Even fresh 1.10.

> In my case I get ***libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0*** instead.
Catalyst 11.5, xvba-va-driver 0.7.8 from PPA, same here. Also looks like there is error message:
> Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

Ari, please look into this bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libva/+bug/800022

Actually the package from Andrew does work. What is not needed are the packages from splitted desktop.

@RussianNeuroMancer: saw your bug report - I think you may be missing the last step below (system variables).

Here's how I got vaapi to work on Natty / AMD64 / Catalyst 11.5 from x-updates:

- Install libva1 and libva-dev after adding the x-udpates PPA
                     https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates?field.series_filter=natty

- use the latest xvba-va-video package (this is the equivalent of libvdpau in Nvidia), that provides the ATI XVBA backend to the VAAPI library, from here:
        https://launchpad.net/~rexbron/+archive/bugfixes
        (fixes a problem in splitted-desktop xvba-video package; do not use the one from splitted-desktop)
        sudo apt-get install xvba-video

- add the following to /etc/environment (and then reboot)

LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/dri
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=fglrx

After this, vainfo output should show something like the below (note the fglrx reference):

$ DISPLAY=:0.0 vainfo

libva: libva version 0.32.0
libva: User requested driver 'fglrx'
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.32
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA-API - 0.7.8
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
     VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
     VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD

This is working fine with XBMC.

> I think you may be missing the last step below (system variables).
Isn't this system variables should be changed automatically while fglrx or xvba-va-driver package installation?

Status is "Fix released", but I still get the broken dependency. Is the status wrong?

You are right there is no fixed package available in default repos.

But you can download Oneric package here It seems that this package is fixed.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xvba-video/0.7.8-1ubuntu1/+build/2535154

It's possible to backport fixed package to Natty repos?

it works fine, but even if i add the ppa I can't install the xvba-video package through the package manager, instead I have to manually download it.
Also, is it correct that for my card, Modility Radeon HD 4650, vainfo displays only VAProfileH264High and VAProfileVC1Advanced?

Can someone of developers look into this bug?

Yes.

I would like to have the fix backported to natty as well
