Failed to open NVENC Codec with Nvidia Drivers installed

[Civiled]

I am trying to record with the Nvenc codec on Linux Mint 19 (Ubuntu 18.04) but I continuously get this error!

Log included. Additionally, whenever I run `nvidia-settings` everything opens

I've tried uninstalling, upgrading drivers, reinstalling drivers, everything. All of my settings look correct too. OBS works correctly on the same system when running windows (I dual boot) but no luck on Mint. If there are any suggestions, I'd be happy to try them out :)

Thanks!

Same here, on Ubuntu 20.04, nvidia drivers.

But my ffmpeg supports nvenc.

ffmpeg -encoders 2>/dev/null | grep nvenc
V..... h264_nvenc           NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V..... nvenc                NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V..... nvenc_h264           NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder (codec h264)
V..... nvenc_hevc           NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder (codec hevc)
V..... hevc_nvenc           NVIDIA NVENC hevc encoder (codec hevc)

It was a easy fix (more related problems on this thread related to Virtual Camera support).

I've uninstalled the flatpak version and install OBS Studio from PPA. Hardware NVENC works now.
