Describe the problem

I successfully build hand_tracking_gpu, but protobuf threw a fatal error during runtime.

I built hand_tracking_gpu with the following command:

$ bazel build -c opt --copt -DMESA_EGL_NO_X11_HEADERS --copt -DEGL_NO_X11 mediapipe/examples/desktop/hand_tracking:hand_tracking_gpu

And it returned "INFO: Build completed successfully, 3370 total actions"

But while I tried to run with the following command:

$ GLOG_logtostderr=1 bazel-bin/mediapipe/examples/desktop/hand_tracking/hand_tracking_gpu --calculator_graph_config_file=mediapipe/graphs/hand_tracking/hand_tracking_desktop_live_gpu.pbtxt --input_video_path=input.mp4 --output_video_path=output.mp4

Libprotobuf threw a fatal error, complete logs are as follows.

By the way, I'v already download ".tflite" files and put them in: "mediapipe/modules/hand_landmark" and "mediapipe/modules/palm_detection".

Strangely, I was able to run cpu version successfully in 0.10.14 but still can't use gpu version cause graph has errors as follow:

I've fixed it by changing the OpenGL default GPU device with export MESA_D3D12_DEFAULT_ADAPTER_NAME=NVIDIA, after that did ES version meet the requirements of 3.1.

I didn't do anything and the problem disappeared, but when I tried to build a dynamic link library, it reappeared. It seems that the error is thrown by the following code:

mediapipe::CalculatorGraphConfig config =
        mediapipe::ParseTextProtoOrDie<mediapipe::CalculatorGraphConfig>(calculator_graph_config_contents);

and nullptr caused by loading google/protobuf/descriptor.proto.

I really want to know what caused this problem.

Are you satisfied with the resolution of your issue?
Yes
No

[yiyinglai]

@qinweisen I enountered the same issue #5655 (comment), on different platform though. Have you solved the problem?
