Additional comments about closing: Not a pidgin bug.

Comment by Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis) - Monday, 12 April 2021, 17:49 GMT

Looping in gst-plugins-bad since the assertion originates from there. I tried installing vulkan-intel in order to repro but I don't think my haswell is supported.

@carbolymer: Have you been able to pinpoint the package update that broke this for you? Was it pidgin/libpurple or something else?

Comment by carbolymer (carbolymer) - Monday, 12 April 2021, 18:18 GMT

Unfortunately, no. Here are updated packes: https://pastebin.com/raw/fMZCcVN5 - this broke the pidgin.
I had a lot of packages from mesa-git repository (-git suffix), but I've replaced them with their versions from arch's repos - no difference.
I've also reversed those upgrades:
upgraded amdvlk (2021.Q1.6-1 -> 2021.Q2.1-1)
upgraded gst-plugin-gtk (1.18.4-1 -> 1.18.4-2)
upgraded gst-plugins-bad (1.18.4-3 -> 1.18.4-4)
upgraded gst-plugins-bad-libs (1.18.4-3 -> 1.18.4-4)
upgraded libpurple (2.14.1-3 -> 2.14.3-1)
upgraded pidgin (2.14.1-3 -> 2.14.3-1)
- also no difference.

What's the output of `vulkaninfo`?

Comment by Laurent Carlier (lordheavy) - Tuesday, 13 April 2021, 06:12 GMT

Do you have vulkan-radeon package installed? Can you run pidgin with "AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV" ?

Comment by carbolymer (carbolymer) - Tuesday, 13 April 2021, 17:40 GMT

No dice.

$ yay -Qs vulkan-radeon

Ok I've manged to fix it. I needed to remove vulkan-radeon and libpurple-signald.
