I have used OBS on windows and was trying to go to a Linux based system but receive this error every time i try to start OBS. failed to initialize video: unspecified error.

I cannot find the log file and I can not find anything on this.

running Linux Mint 17
Toshiba Satelite A135-s7406
3 Gigs of ram
Canon ZR700 via fire-wire.

this setup ran fine with Windows but can not load in Linux
downloaded OBS Multiplatform for Ubuntu 14.04/15.04+
installed via the instructions, tried to start OBS and received the error

failed to initialize video: unspecified error

Thanks
George

The GPU in that laptop does not support OpenGL 3.2, that laptop is way too old to be able to use OBS.

@ Osiris:
That is understandable if the reason I have a newer setup I can use.

Thanks
