Description Alen Skondro 2015-12-01 18:24:49 UTC
When opening VLC in xfce and playing a video I get this message with dmesg:

[ 3814.759551] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nve4_fuc084 failed with error -2
[ 3814.759562] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nve4_fuc084d failed with error -2
[ 3814.759564] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: msvld: unable to load firmware data
[ 3814.759566] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: msvld: init failed, -19

otherwise, the video plays ok (disregarding tearing).
