Missing libva-vdpau-driver

Post by luvpizzasj » 2018/11/17 02:52:18

Hi everyone. I used to be able to install the Nvidia binary driver under CentOS 7. But recently the installation failed due to the missing package, libva-vdpau-driver as required for nvidia-driver.

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: 3:nvidia-driver-410.73-4.el7.x86_64 (epel-nvidia)
Requires: libva-vdpau-driver(x86-64)

Previously, I was able to install this library using these commands:

# yum-config-manager --add-repo=https://negativo17.org/repos/epel-nvidia.repo
# yum install libva-vdpau-driver

Now the package is no longer available.

# yum install libva-vdpau-driver
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: sjc.edge.kernel.org
* extras: sjc.edge.kernel.org
* updates: mirrors.oit.uci.edu
No package libva-vdpau-driver available.
Error: Nothing to do

Has anyone encountered this issue? If you have a fix, please let me know. Thank you in advance!

You need EPEL installed and enabled as that's where that package comes from and your 'epel-nvidia' repo depends on it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thank you Trevor! :) This additional command fixes the issue for me:

# yum -y install epel-release
