Question / Help Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics drivers may need to be updated.

It used to work fine when I havn't installed GPU drivers.
After installing GPU drivers, it just showed a dialog and said "Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics drivers may need to be updated."
But wait, I just installed the newest version of graphcis drivers!

I have tried install Vulkan OpenCL OpenGL drivers, reboot, reinstall OBS and reinstall system and graphics drivers, they all didn't work.

I tried to find something online, but i couldn't find the right solution, I'm sorry. :(

So what am I gonna do?

I believe I read earlier this week that you have to use OpenGL because Vulkan is not yet supported. Aside from that-- perhaps the error is because the driver is too new? Maybe rollback?

from the terminal
"glxinfo | grep OpenGL"

And post the session log from ~/.config/obs-studio/logs

Actually I installed the OpenGL driver first and it didn't work and then I installed the Vulkan.
I have also tried a 4-month-old driver and the same things happened.

You probably installed the snap store version of OBS which does things we don't support.

Reinstall using the official PPA.

Isso funciona no meu lubuntu 0.14.1 compilado no Ubuntu 19.10. Mas preciso digitar esse comando toda vez que quiser abrir obs.

você pode criar um (bash) eu fiz isso e depois um atalho.

You can edit OBS desktop entry and add LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE variable for regular launch (instead terminal launch)

1 - Edit desktop entry. "sudo vi /usr/share/applications/com.obsproject.Studio.desktop" in my system. check yours
2 - locate Exec line. "Exec=obs" in my system
3 - Add env variable before command. "Exec=env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 obs"
4 - save and done

Created an account just to say that I got this error on Pop OS! 20.04. After 30 minutes of chasing my tail, I found a little Zoom window that said "opening Zoom..." which was apparently the cause. Once that window was closed, OBS opened up like a champ again. *sigh*
