I don’t know if it updated my video driver. I just used this command: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

How do I do that?

Tried it. I don’t think there’s anything to upgrade:

I have rebooted multiple times. How do I reinstall the driver for my Radeon HD 5450 graphics card?

I used this command to search through the dpkg.log but didn’t get any results for radeon or ati:

cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep -i ati

I disabled hardware acceleration and VLC is able to play mp4 files again; however, is there a way to turn on hardware acceleration without getting these errors?

Update:

Changing “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder” fixed the issue. Now VLC is able to play mp4 files with hardware acceleration without any issues.

Replying to my own post here. I tried to reinstall my video driver but the terminal messages I received essentially said that the files were already installed:

Thank you, this resolved my issue.

I read the wiki and changed “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder”.

My original problem was caused by the fact that this was set to automatic, now that it’s set to “VA-API video decoder” VLC is able to play mp4 files again without any issues.

Up until yesterday, new posts would show up at the top of the page (sort type: hot) after a couple of minutes (and getting two or three upvotes). Today, however, despite an hour passing by and the posts receiving 3-4 upvotes, they didn’t show up at the top of the page.

At the time of writing (four hours after posting this support request), the two posts I made on my community are now showing up at the top of the page but why did it take so long?
