[intel/dlstreamer] GPU Inference Not Working on UHD 630 (i3-8100T) in Latest Docker Image

I am attaching few screenshots and models

How have you started the Docker container? Can you describe how you have set-up the host system?
What DRI devices do you see under /dev/dri/ - on the host and within the running Docker container?

When you say

Unable [...] when device="GPU" in pipeline

do you mean that you see inference working when using CPU instead (consistency check)?

[Prajwal-SU]

Hi @brmarkus,

Initially I pulled intel/docker using (docker pull intel/dlstreamer:latest)
then started that docker using below command,
docker run -it --privileged --net=host -d --device /dev/dri --group-add=109 -p 8081:8081 -v /tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /dev/shm/:/dev/shm -v /dev/bus/usb -v /home/prajwal/:/home/prajwal/ -v /opt/:/opt/ -v /var/log/:/var/log/ -v /root/cl_cache/:/root/cl_cache/ -u root intel/dlstreamer:latest /bin/bash

On the host inside /dev/dri/
I have -->

But inside the docker container,

Yes, inference works perfectly fine when I set device=CPU. The issue only occurs when I try to use device=GPU, specifically with the Intel UHD Graphics 630 (i3-8100T) inside the latest DL Streamer Docker image. So CPU inference is confirmed working — only GPU inference is failing.

From the OpenVINO system requirements https://docs.openvino.ai/2025/about-openvino/release-notes-openvino/system-requirements.html the SoC 8th generation should be supported:

6th - 14th generation Intel® Core™ processors

No experience with ArchLinux from my side...
For e.g. Ubuntu/Debian there is quite a lot required to install and set-up the Intel GPU part - besides things like making sure user-groups (e.g. video, render, docker) and access from within the container (e.g. calling xhost + to allow the applications in the container to access X/x11/xserver)

For the GPU set-up, have a look into https://docs.openvino.ai/nightly/get-started/install-openvino/configurations/configurations-intel-gpu.html

Have you used an earlier version of the container image successfully on this hardware? If yes, could you try with an older version (something from v2024?)?

[Prajwal-SU]

Older version of intel/dlstreamer is working fine, but why it is not working in latest intel/dlstreamer docker.

[brmarkus]

There are two repositories of the DL-Streamer now - do you know which repo your "latest intel/dlstreamer" is based on?

Could be a regression in DL-Streamer.... or OpenVINO now silently changed the system requirements (your 8th generation is "not new anymore"... MeteorLake is already 14th generation)?

For the time-being... would it work if you continue with an older version for now?

[Prajwal-SU]

I pulled the DL Streamer Docker image directly from , so I believe it's based on the official/latest public build.

Would you recommend I also raise this with the OpenVINO team, in case this is due to a change in GPU support or driver expectations?

Regarding reverting to an older version — we've already updated our environment and dependencies to align with the latest DL Streamer and OpenVINO releases, so downgrading isn't a viable option for us at the moment. We'd prefer to find a resolution that works with the current/latest stack if possible.

[brmarkus]

It might be difficult to find a system with your 8th generation SoC and the mentioned eGPU to reproduce. Also could be difficult to find an ArchLinux environment to reproduce. But sure, you could raise an issue with the OpenVINO team/repo to clarify regarding support for 8th generation SoCs and support for ArchLinux.

Also try to raise this same issue in the "original" Github repo "https://github.com/dlstreamer/dlstreamer" to maybe reach a bigger audience.

With using DL-Streamer in a Docker container (self-contained) there shouldn't be many dependencies ON THE HOST, other then the GPU-drivers (depending on the used kernel).

https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases.

Inside the docker, downgrade the drivers. 8th gen is not supported on latest drivers. You can check it from the link and find the one that supports your hardware.

[Prajwal-SU]

Hi @kgbvimpel4, I have installed these drivers https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/24.35.30872.22/intel-opencl-icd-legacy1_24.35.30872.22_amd64.deb https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/24.35.30872.22/intel-level-zero-gpu-legacy1_1.3.30872.22_amd64.deb
and it is working for 8th gen GPU.

So, will it run for latest gen GPU? or there any other conflicts if we install the above packages.

[kgbvimpel4]

It says that, 24.35 version supports up to 14th gen, so there should be no problem.
