Problems during intel arc gpu settup - thatscringebro - 2024-12-04

I have recently acquired an Intel Arc A750 and I would like to use it for hardware transcoding on my server. Firstly, I am using debian 12 with kernel 6.10.11 and jellyfin runs on the os, not in docker. Every package is up to date and jellyfin runs as it should for now.

I have followed the hardware transcoding setup steps according to this guide: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel#linux-setups and get an error on step 8.

Here is the output of the command:

Code:

You need to install the Intel OpenCL package.

Code:
sudo apt install intel-opencl-icd

You do not have the firmware-linux-nonfree package installed.

If you do not have non-free and non-free-firmware in your debian sources, add them then install the non-free-firmware and reboot.

RE: Problems during intel arc gpu settup - TheDreadPirate - 2024-12-04

Whoops. Didn't scroll down the output of your last command.

I just remembered a similar post last week.

https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-a310-transcoding-help?pid=44348#pid44348

Something about BPO kernels not including some firmware needed by Arc.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/intel/#configure-and-verify-lp-mode-on-linux

You will need to download and install the GuC and HuC firmware manually. Or switch to Ubuntu 24.04, which includes a new enough kernel + the needed firmware already installed.
