Research direction
Start by reproducing the pre-compiled TiddlyDesktop binary or the built "nw" on Ubuntu 22.04.1 with the Radeon 7 GPU, then trace where GPU initialization produces the libva error. Done means the issue has a confirmed fix or a documented, tested way to run with GPU use disabled.

Description
I've been using TiddlyDesktop for at least 3 years, never had a problem until I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04.1 64 bit from Ubuntu 20.04. It's a Radeon 7 GPU.
I tried running the pre-compiled binary and it throws the error in the title. Then I tried building from scratch - it built without a single error, but when I tried running "nw" again it threw the same error.
--
The error is something to do with the GPU:

Is there a way to disable the GPU?

I can use a browser plugin until you get this fixed, however I have lost data with the browser plugin and never with the desktop app.
Thanks a lot for the great product, I hope we can get this fixed.
