well, the title says most of it,
i found that using export VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi works. but only temporarily, if i reboot and i run vdpauinfo says the error again, i tried having a exec-once on my hyprland config would fix that, but, nay, it still defaulting to a non present nvidia driver

#

arch linux + hyprland, and i ran linutil to help me get the gaming dependencies, i thing maybe there lies the problem. but yeah.

#

also. ryzen 7 1700x, and a msi gaming pro x470 motherboard. if maybe that gives extra info

daring condor
#

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

Hmm

#

Did you setup hyprland?
Like it's it usable?

proven zenith
#

yes

#

it is working currently

daring condor
#

I suggest you go on TTY and make sure you edit there
And when you need to check
Just type hyprland and it'll run hyprland
If it is not fixed
Exit hyprland
And try again

That's help for the thing
Not for nvidia yet
This is just like ease of use

#

Wait

#

What am I speaking

#

My brain hurt

proven zenith
#

haha, i think you didnt understood the help i need XD

#

i am not having problems with hyprland, i am having problems with vdpau

daring condor
#

Also you can add "export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=radeonsi" in the hyprland config

proven zenith
#

i did that

daring condor
#

Hmmm

proven zenith
#

i am not having problems with vaapi, it is working nice

#

just vdpau

#

vaapi gets my gpu just fine

#

vdpau defaults to a non present nvidia driver, (that i dont need because i only have one gpu, and that gpu is amd)

#

i can run the VDPAU_DRIVER=randeonsi, but it is temporary, i dont want to run that everytime i turn on my pc and log in to hyprland

#

and, i only have hyprland, so, there is no way another DE is getting on the way

daring condor
#

.bashrc?
But then it'll run everytime you open terminal...

proven zenith
#

maybe should i try on /etc/environment?

#

there i hav the qt-qpa platform and the xdg menu setting

daring condor
#

It needs to run every login/boot

#

Hmmm

proven zenith
#

like, i dont know if i should tackle the problem on another aspect

daring condor
#

What did you expect
And what happened

#

Gathering info rn

#

@proven zenith

proven zenith
#

well, i expect that when i type vdpauinfo, it gives me the info of the gfxcard i have, and not the error i am currently recieving,

#

i suspect that that is why when i want to play vrchat on vr (using alvr) it doesnt launch, but, i have to test that another way, and i know how to work on that

#

what i dont know how to set is, vdpau, to the driver i do have, wich is radeonsi

daring condor

daring condor
#

Idk anything about system d boot

#

But there has to be something
SOMETHING To autorun this

proven zenith
#

haha, me neither, but, i dont quite like grub, dont have a specific reason why

daring condor
#

Can you send the command that fixes it again?

proven zenith
#

thing is, this should be autorunned

#

there should be an option that is messing the pointer of the vdpau driver

proven zenith
#

export VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi

daring condor
#

I'll find a way to import it into autorun

proven zenith
#

okay, but that is a, lets tape it into shape kinda approach

#

i want a, lets understand why that is happening, kind of approach

daring condor
#

Okay

#

create a new file in the /etc/environment.d/

#

Name it like
Idk

#

VdpauRun.conf

#

Done?

#

Nano/Vim it

#

VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi

Add this in

#

Save and exit

#
