Question / Help Failed to initialize video, graphics card problem

Hello,

I want to setup a stream from my IP camera (RTSP stream) to YouTube. I have a dedicated server to do this - SuperMikro, 32GB RAM, Intel i7 3.5GHz and two nVidia Geforce GTX 580 with DVI output ports.

I tried Debian, Ubuntu, but i wasn't able to make it working. When I plug VGA cable to VGA to DVI converter and DVI to GTX card, I see no output on monitor. I tried many versions of proprietary graphics cards drivers, but none of them worked.

So, can I use OBS multiplatform to stream RTSP to Youtube, without display (headless)? Or via integrated graphics? When I try to open OBS, it shows me error "Failed to initialize video".

Thanks for answers.
