Well, here we are again. I’m even going to preface this by saying that it’s not Plex’s fault that this isn’t working. However, since I’m running what’s an allegedly supported environment, I’m here again for help in case someone knows what I’m missing to get it to work.
I have installed Ubuntu 22.04.01 LTS (and PMS 1.29.1, but this will only be relevant later when I get HW acceleration working in any form) on my Beelink U59 with an Intel N5095 and I get no hardware acceleration whatsoever.
rafael@upsilon:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name' | head -1

The reason for this is that I’m not being able to get GuC/HuC to work on this Ubuntu release (unlike in 20.04.5, where I was able to get it to work after a lot of juggling with the kernel versions). This is the output I get after having done echo "options i915 enable_guc=2" > /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf and update-initramfs -u:

I have also tried setting the GuC to 3 and downloading extra i915 firmware like suggested in PMS 1.29.1 HW Tonemapping Testing, Questions , and Answers and some other threads.
Sorry for doing this yet again, but @ChuckPa, did you do anything special when setting up your test machines? I didn’t do anything I haven’t specified in the thread.
