Messed Up Mesa drivers?

English Applications
1

Was trying to do a zypper dupfor the last few days and kept getting errors related to Mesa and Mesa-gallium versions. My Mesa’s come via Packman.

Computing distribution upgrade…
3 Problems:
Problem: problem with the installed polyphone-2.2-lp152.17.2.x86_64
Problem: the to be installed Mesa-22.3.4-341.1.x86_64 requires ‘Mesa-gallium = 22.3.4’, but this requirement cannot be provided
Problem: the to be installed Mesa-32bit-22.3.4-341.1.x86_64 requires ‘Mesa = 22.3.4’, but this requirement cannot be provided

Looking at the Packman site it seems they didn’t package the 32 bit drivers for the 64bit package. I have sent Packman and email about this.

It seems that some Mesa drivers are failing to build. See:

https://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2023-January/017391.html

I also have this problem. It is also mentioned in the Spanish subforum here and in the openSUSE subreddit.

I guess the reasonable action here is to wait until the required packages are built and made accessible.

I choose to retain the obsolete package and all is well.
See the options I think option 3 is to retain the old package.

I finally updated allowing vendor change and apparently everything went well.

Problem:

  deleted providers: Mesa-22.3.3-340.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: install Mesa-gallium-22.3.4-340.1.x86_64 from vendor openSUSE
  replacing Mesa-gallium-22.3.3-340.1.x86_64 from vendor http://packman.links2linux.de
 Solution 2: install Mesa-gallium-22.3.4-341.1.i586 despite the inferior architecture
 Solution 3: keep obsolete Mesa-22.3.3-340.1.x86_64
 Solution 4: break Mesa-gallium-22.3.3-340.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

47 packages to upgrade, 2 to downgrade, 3  to change vendor.

Trouble is if I allow-vendor-change a whole load of other packages change as well. For example -

  ffmpeg-5                            http://packman.links2linux.de -> obs://build.opensuse.org/multimedia
  ffmpeg-5-libavcodec-devel           http://packman.links2linux.de -> obs://build.opensuse.org/multimedia
  ffmpeg-5-libavutil-devel            http://packman.links2linux.de -> obs://build.opensuse.org/multimedia
  ffmpeg-5-libswresample-devel        http://packman.links2linux.de -> obs://build.opensuse.org/multimedia
  ffmpegthumbnailer                   openSUSE -> obs://build.opensuse.org/multimedia

But if I allow that then things like mpv fails due to codecs as there’s some licensing issues with packages via obs://builds.

I may wait a few days as well.

To clarify - only PACKMAN provides the x264 and x265 codecs needed to play videos via mpv. I don’t understand why and how only PACKMAN can provide these packages and not be provided via any opensuse repo (OSS or media:libs or media:apps) .

Licensing is a mean mistress.

Perhaps you can try the new openh264 repo: openSUSE Simplifies Codec Installation - openSUSE News

This is all I need so now I can completely remove packman dependency.

Thanks but I don’t see a x265 codec. I have more 265 encoded videos than x264.

But what I did do many years ago was to compile the x264 and x265 codecs from source. I’d rather not go on that adventure again :sweat:
