Question / Help Empty "streaming services" menu

I've installed OBS in Ubuntu 14.10 from the PPA using the instructions on this forum, and the program launches just fine. However, when I try to select a streaming service so I can enter my twitch key, the combo box menu is empty. I can attach a screenshot if it would help, but it's about what it sounds like.

Strange...did you use the obsproject/obs-studio PPA ? Try to remove, autoclean & re-install obs-studio.
Code: 
sudo apt-get remove obs-studio
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get install obs-studio

Yeah, that's definitely the PPA I'm using. Tried removing + autocleaning + reinstalling, same effect.

FWIW, I can record an FLV video offline and that works just fine (desktop video and audio come through), so for once it's not an FFmpeg-on-Ubuntu issue.

Since the GUI isn't working, is there a way I could edit an ini file to get my twitch key etc in the configuration? That's a workaround not a fix, but if nobody else is seeing this bug...

See if clearing out your ~/.obs-studio/ config folder helps? might be possible something there got a bit messed up and is persisting breaking that menu?

The other is to check your OBS data directory and see if the "plugins/rtmp-services/data/services.json" file is mangled/missing or some such.

Clearing out ~/.obs-studio/ doesn't fix the issue. My services.json is identical to the one in git right now.

This seems really unusual, are you meaning that no servers are showing up? Or that services aren't showing up? If services aren't showing up, then it feels like it's not being installed correctly. Or if the PPA is bad, but I haven't heard any other similar reports, so I'm really curious as to what's going on. Could you show me a log file by any chance?

The "Service" pulldown in the Stream section of the settings window doesn't respond to being clicked, ie nothing appears in it.

Of course, I tried it just now and it worked. I have no idea why, I'm running the same version as a few days ago! O_O
