A precompiled package is specific to the chip that it runs on. OBS is designed for x86/64, and the Pi is ARM. That's like English and Chinese worth of difference. Not compatible.

You can build your own package from source though. That works...until a feature breaks because it relies on the hardware working a certain way and yours doesn't.

Yeah... when I looked at the ppa... realized what was going on... no support for ARM in that specific repository. Fortunately, Ubuntu ARM repository has OBS studio, like the Pi OS repository does. So that solved the issue. The only trick I have found I need for Pi hardware is to explicitly tell OBS what GPU to use... MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 when I start obs. I have yet to dig into why this works, explicitly, but found it in a Raspberry Pi forum about using obs on Pi devices.

Hello. I was searching for my issue and I found this one.

Maybe also you can't install it in ARM with that PPA, but the OP output error is about that PPA still (as today October 30) doesn't have an Oracular (24.10) version of OBS. I have the same output happens to me in a normal laptop.

It's supposedly that It will be a version when OBS has a new update, but I don't know if it will happen and when.

I write it down because maybe someone else finds this topic too with this output.
