Comment 9 for bug 1747744

Going the other way, i.e. 17.10 updated, then slowly upgraded to bionic found this.
Updating totem, the eventually all of gstreamer inc. the vaapi plugin, installing libva2 packages produced no issues & did provide vaapi in totem once libva was fully on bionic versions. (restarts after all changes..
Updating libdrm2 caused no issues.
