Every time I play a video with MPlayer, I'm getting an annoying popup dialog saying:

Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How to solve this? My laptop is A Compaq CQ20-213TU.

Install proprietary nvidia drivers or switch off VDPAU support in mplayer.

EDIT:

sudo aptitude reinstall libvdpau1

Do you have nvidia card, right? – Extender Oct 18 '10 at 08:28
I think I have no nvdia card because I'm using integrated pre-installed in my laptop. – ok comp Oct 18 '10 at 09:36
i apologize if you don't understand what I am saying because I am still a newbie. hopefully you can help me through – ok comp Oct 18 '10 at 09:37
Do you install mplayer or other software from PPA ? Is your system clean install of Ubuntu? – Extender Oct 19 '10 at 03:14

sudo aptitude reinstall libvdpau1 <------- I already paste thie command into terminal but the results -----> sudo: aptitude: command not found – ok comp Dec 07 '10 at 16:43
Another way to reinstall libvdpau1: sudo apt-get --reinstall install libvdpau1. – Lekensteyn Feb 27 '11 at 11:13
