Hi,
I am on a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine and just finished installing obs following instructions on the download page.
However obs does not show up when I try to launch it.
This is my terminal output:

idgv@ubuntu:~$ obs

idgv@ubuntu:~$


Can you please tell me where the log files are located so that I can upload it?
I could not launch the application so I have to use a file manager.

Many thanks in advance

~/.config/obs-studio/logs and ~/.config/obs-studio/crashes

Before you do that, run "glxinfo | grep OpenGL" from the terminal (without the quotes) and provide the output.

dgv@ubuntu:~$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6150SE nForce 430/integrated/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 304.131
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
OpenGL extensions:
dgv@ubuntu:~$

There is no folder for crashes at the path ~/.config/obs-studio/crashes
I found as many logfiles as attempts to launch obs and they have all the same content.
So I attached the last in order of time.

Your computer is below minimum system requirements for OBS

It requires OpenGL 3.2 driver and hardware support.

Apart from OpenGL version, what are the minimum system requirements?
I am aware I am using an old machine but I would like to know what parts of my system failed, in order to find a solution
