• chromium launch fails

    From Russell L. Harris@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 16 08:40:01 2024
    On a fresh installation of Debian 12 on a Dell inspiron, chromium [127.0.6533.99-1~deb12u1] fails to launch.

    libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init
    failed

    The same version of chromium is working properly on another machine.

    The same version of chromium was working properly on the inspiron
    before I reinstalled Debian 12.

    Reinstallation of chromium did not cure the problem.

    I rebooted the computer and now chromium launches properly!
