[girishk481287]

Hi All,

I have encountered a problem with openvino version l_openvino_toolkit_p_2021.4.689, I installed the toolkit as per instruction provided by the intel website itself but whenever I want to run vainfo

it will show 

error: can't connect to X server!
error: failed to initialize display

Please, somebody, tell me that this CPU architecture support or not in the above scenario.

Hi Girishk481287,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I encountered the same problem as you did with OpenVINO™ toolkit version l_openvino_toolkit_p_2021.4.689 in Cent OS 7.6. When I run vainfo, it will show the following error:

error: can't connect to X server!

error: failed to initialize display

We are investigating this issue and will update you at the earliest.

Regards,

Wan

Hi Girishk481287,

For your information, starting with the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit 2021.3 release, Intel® Media SDK is being deprecated for removal in OpenVINO 2022.1.

Users are recommended to migrate to the Intel oneAPI Video Processing Library (oneVPL) as the unified programming interface for video decoding, encoding and processing to build portable media pipelines on CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators.

Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit will support the Intel one API Video Processing Library (oneVPL) as the replacement for Intel® Media SDK.

See oneVPL Programming Guide for guidelines, migration guide from Intel® Media SDK to oneVPL, and API Changes Documentation for reference.

On another note, Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit will continue support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and will drop support for CentOS in new releases starting from OpenVINO 2022.1.

Support Change and Deprecation Notices is available at the following page under Section New and Changed in the Release 3:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/release-notes/openvino-relnotes.html

However, here is a workaround for you. You can build Media SDK from source by referring to Build Media SDK on CentOS with some changes in command as follow.

From Build and install LibVA and its dependencies:

·      replace yum install devtoolset-6 to yum install devtoolset-7

·      remove git checkout tag/2.6.0.pre1

Wan
