Hi. I have used windows 10 laptop and OBS Studio to stream live from my beefarm in Iceland. This has been tiresom process because Windows is constantly updating itself and cutting my stream. I decided to try Lubuntu Linux in the hope of getting a more stable operating system. I installed Lubuntu 18.04 on an old IBM ThinkPad T40. Then I installed OBS studio but there is some problem with the GPU. There is an error window that appears when I try to launch OBS studio. It says: "failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics drivers may need to be updated". Has anyone here a solution for this problem because I would really like to use OBS studio. It is by far the best streaming software I have found.

There is something strange going on because I just installed Lubuntu 18.04 on Asus Aspire 5742 computer I have been using to stream with OBS studio and Windows 10 Home and the same message came up when I tried to start OBS. The output above is from that computer. Is there any chance I can update the GPU driver?

That specific driver version (or the graphics processor itself) doesn't support OpenGL 3.2
That's the problem.
