Hardware Acceleration Failed to initialize VA /dev/dri/renderD128

[Stryk3rr3al 2]

I'm in the process of moving from a Windows VM to Ubuntu Mint.
I've got docker setup and the nvidia container runtime installed and working. But I keep getting an error message related to Hardware Acceleration that says "Failed to initialize VA /dev/dri/renderD128. Error -1" Does anyone have any insight into why I'm running into this issue? Also, I've not licensed Emby yet could that be causing this error with the GPU failing to load? 

Docker compose 

services:
  emby:
    image: emby/embyserver
    container_name: embyserver
    runtime: nvidia # Expose NVIDIA GPUs
    network_mode: host # Enable DLNA and Wake-on-Lan
    environment:
      - UID=1000 # The UID to run emby as (default: 2)
      - GID=1000 # The GID to run emby as (default 2)
      - GIDLIST=1000,44,992 # A comma-separated list of additional GIDs to run emby as (default: 2)
    volumes:
      - /path/to/programdata:/config # Configuration directory

    ports:

    restart: on-failure

Hi, I think it was detected. Have you tried to use transcoding?

HW accel is a premier feature so that's possible. Also make sure that 44 and 992 are the correct GID values for the card and renderD128 devices under /dev/dri.

So it looks like after licensing, transcoding is working just fine, but I'm still getting the NAG about not being able to access the DRM module in the logs and the /dev/dri/renderD128. Error -1 error. I'm not too worried about it, since it seems to be working for what I need.

Hi, it's just the way the detection runs. It tries a lot of things without knowing whether they are available or not, and then logs the result.
