[Priyanka_B_Intel]

Hi, 

I have setup the VPL and the required environmental setting on my Ubuntu Host. I ma trying to execute the "vainfo" utility but ending 

up with the below error :

bosepriy@bosepriy:/opt/intel/inteloneapi/vpl/2021.1-beta03/lib$ ./vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 1.4.1
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns -1

libva info: Trying to open /opt/intel/inteloneapi/vpl/2021.1-beta03/lib/iHD_drv_video.so

libva info: va_openDriver() returns 18
vaInitialize failed with error code 18 (invalid parameter),exit

bosepriy@bosepriy:/opt/intel/inteloneapi/vpl/2021.1-beta03/lib$ ls -lrt /opt/intel/inteloneapi/vpl/2021.1-beta03/lib/iHD_drv_video.so

Any idea why this error code 18 is observed ?

Best Regards

Priyanka

Hi Priyanka,

Sorry for the late response, did you check the following environment?

After run "source /opt/intel/inteloneapi/setvars.sh", you should get:

LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH="/opt/intel/inteloneapi/vpl/latest/lib"

LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="iHD"
