Help with N150 iGPU Driver Please - Astaroth - 2025-08-20

Hi,

I'm new to Jellyfin and Linux and I'm trying to pass my iGPU (Intel N150) through to my jellyfin lxc for transcoding but having trouble with the drivers. I installed 'intel-media-va-driver-non-free' following various guides etc. and it wouldn't initialise. Then I found a post saying that the non-free version doesn't work, but the standard version does (I.e. 'intel-media-va-driver'). So I removed the non-free one and installed the other which worked on the proxmox host. When I passed it through to the lxc (ubuntu jammy 22.04), vainfo still gave errors. I've now realised that different versions of the driver are available to each of these (see below). I'm assuming the reason is debian vs ubuntu.

Proxmox host:

Code:
uname -r

6.14.8-2-pve 

apt search intel-media-va-driver

intel-media-va-driver/stable,now 25.2.3+dfsg1-1 amd64 [installed]

  VAAPI driver for the Intel GEN8+ Graphics family

intel-media-va-driver-non-free/oldstable 23.1.1+ds1-1 amd64

  VAAPI driver for the Intel GEN8+ Graphics family

Jellyfin LXC ():

Code:
uname -r

6.14.8-2-pve

apt search intel-media-va-driver

  VAAPI driver for the Intel GEN8+ Graphics family

intel-media-va-driver-non-free/jammy-updates 22.3.1+ds1-1ubuntu0.1 amd64

  VAAPI driver for the Intel GEN8+ Graphics family

I'm just wondering if there's any way to get the later driver on the LXC please (I.e. intel-media-va-driver/stable,now 25.2.3+dfsg1-1 amd64)? E.g. updating Ubuntu or the kernel?

Thanks

It looks like you'll have to install from the repo: https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases

They have decent instructions, though from what I saw it's for the latest LTS rather than 22.

Thanks for the info, I’ll give that a go. I assume there’s a command or something to update from 22 to 24? Or is it easier/better to export the jellyfin config and create a new container on 24?
