Can't watch any mp4 file or any streaming video (like youtube) after upgrading ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10 : failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so

in flag

Hello,

I've just upgraded Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10. Everything seems to work great except Firefox,mplayer and I suppose any other mp4 player which belongs to some library or component that hasn't been installed or reinstalled properly. Below you can see the errors that I see on the upgraded ubuntu 22.10. Infact I have installed ubuntu 22.10 from scratch and I saw those errors,but I can play the mp4 videos without problems. BUT if I upgrade ubuntu 22.04 to 22.10 the video stream does not flow automatically. So,I suppose that something breaks during the upgrade. On ubuntu 22.10 (upgraded from 22.04) the ffmpeg and the ubuntu-restricted-extras package results already installed. I can play mp4 files using vlc without problems,but not with mplayer...

This is also what I tried to do :

At this point I see a different error :

/usr/bin/mpv: error while loading shared libraries. libsixel.so.1 : cannot shared object file : no such file or directory...

At the moment I'm sure that this is not a bug connected only to Firefox,because when I try to open any mp4 file with a different player than VLC,the video stream don't flow at all. I should press stop and play a lot of time to make move the video stream.

UPDATE :

I've fixed the missing library problem and I think that now the real problem comes out :

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
