Upgraded from F35 to F36 now videos won't play

robcampbell · 05-22-2022, 09:52 PM

I'm unable to play local videos or online videos (youtube, plex, netflix). I used this guide to install the driver: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.c...e-installation

lspci |grep -E "VGA|3D"
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 710] (rev a1)

NVIDIA Driver Version: 390.151

Did it work before you used that guide, or what? Please elaborate.

I'm not reading that guide. I think you should explain what you did and where it might have failed (this alone often helped me to solve a problem).

Also show us

Code:

lspci -knn | grep -iEA5 'vga|3d|display'

Please use CODE tags for full command output and code (see my signature).

It did not work before I read the guide which is why I read the guide. I'm not sure what other info is needed. I upgraded from F35 to F36 now videos won't play but that was already mentioned in the subject. Everything was working in F35, I upgraded to F36 and now videos won't play. How did I upgrade?

Code:

dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=36
dnf system-upgrade reboot

Code:

lspci -knn | grep -iEA5 'vga|3d|display'

So in 35 everything was running fine with nouveau, then it wasn't working on 36 (did you reboot after the upgrade?) - now you installed nvidia (through some as yet undisclosed process) (did you reboot?) and it is not fine?

We still don't know what you did.

F35, everything was working fine. I was actually watching a YouTube video while the upgrade was downloading the 6K files. Download finished. I ran dnf system-upgrade reboot, changed the display so that they were 2x2 and tried to get back to the video I was watching and I started getting that error message.

"that error message"???

(and my previous request still wasn't adressed)

The only time there was an "error message" was on YouTube and that message was "If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device". That was only on YouTube. Everything else didn't provide an error message. I've rebooted multiple times since upgrading. Initially I rebooted when the instructions said to reboot but since then, I've rebooted after every other "guide" I've followed.

Problem Solved (for me).

This seems to have been an audio issue. I changed the Profile and it started working.

Activities -> Pulse Audio Volume Control -> Output Devices. Select the device and choose the correct configuration profile under Configuration.
