Guide to install and run OBS-STUDIO on Ubuntu based OSs(such as ubuntu, mint, etc.) I feel like i should help out my community :) so here you go guys! Ok, we'll be installing obs-studio via a ppa, which means it will automatically update as they are released! We're gonna also need FFmpeg, mainly because of dependencies. Step 1 - install ffmpeg: Open terminal and type in "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg". When that is finished, type in "sudo apt-get update". it might take a little depending on how much youve installed before. When its finished, type in "sudo apt-get install ffmpeg". Then when that finishes, you're done with the dependencies! Step 2 - install OBS-STUDIO: in terminal, type "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio". wait for it to finish, then type "sudo apt-get update". When thats done, type in "sudo apt-get install obs-studio". Congrats! You have OBS installed on linux Step 3 - run obs studio: in terminal, type "obs". it will launch obs-studio. do not close the terminal until you close obs itself. Id like to thank Jim, the creator, for working so hard on this new obs version. I absolutely love it, and ill be using it a ton, all the while reporting bugs i find for you :D Thanks!
Hey! Glad you're getting it working. Thank you for posting it, it's something I should have done. Keep in mind that although I do the majority of the code for the core and UI, the linux modules (which are the real meat for linux users) are not made by myself. BtbN for example went to all the work of making the PPA, provided all the cmake stuff and the builds, as well as the xcomposite capture module and libfdk module for higher quality FDK-AAC if a user has it available. Leonhard and others also made X shared memory capture for screen capture as well as pulseaudio capture, and just recently V4L2 video device capture. Without these guys we wouldn't have any real usable linux version yet, so they deserve the credit for the linux version's progress, not me.
Well then Thanks to everyone who is working on obs-studio as a whole. It means so much to me to finally be able to stream with a working, optimized program instead of just one script that i cant customize at all. And it doesnt crash nearly as often as I was expecting, as well as being able to run and put out a high-quality stream on a low-end non-gaming laptop without taking away from the game's performance.....amazing.
I have a problem after sudo apt-get update which gave me back an error and can't install OBS-studio. Here's the message: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/obsproject/obs-studio/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/obsproject/obs-studio/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I recommend this guide for installing on Ubuntu: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/ubuntu-14-04-ppa-installation-instructions.16495/
It's practically no different than this one. I don't know if it's because I'm on Linux Mint 16, which is based off of Ubuntu 13.10 so I don't know if OBS Studio is just for Ubuntu 14.04/Linux Mint 17.
i can load it but it crashes still video problem followed the ppa directions to the letter .. nada.. 14.04 lts is version
Ok. So I followed the steps and got it all installed. Now, when I try to open it, I get this message in response: Attempted path: share/obs/obs-studio/locale/en-US.ini Attempted path: /usr/share/obs/obs-studio/locale/en-US.ini Attempted path: share/obs/obs-studio/locale.ini Attempted path: /usr/share/obs/obs-studio/locale.ini Attempted path: share/obs/obs-studio/license/gplv2.txt Attempted path: /usr/share/obs/obs-studio/license/gplv2.txt info: OBS (linux) info: Processor: 2 logical cores info: Processor: Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2060 @ 1.60GHz info: Physical Memory: 1890MB Total info: Kernel Version: Linux 3.16.0-31-generic info: Distribution: "Ubuntu" "14.04" info: audio settings reset: samples per sec: 44100 speakers: 2 buffering (ms): 1000 info: X and Y: 902 489 Backbuffers: 2 Color Format: 3 ZStencil Format: 0 Adapter: 0 error: Failed to create OpenGL context. error: Failed to create context! *** Error in `obs': double free or corruption (out): 0x0a0e9fc0 *** Aborted (core dumped) Can anyone please help me?!

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know that this is happening: Err http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main amd64 Packages 404 Not Found Err http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main i386 Packages 404 Not Found Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main Translation-en_US Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main Translation-en Err http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main amd64 Packages 404 Not Found Err http://ppa.launchpad.net jessie/main i386 Packages 404 Not Found for both stable and unstable, coming from ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu on apt-get update
The ppa only has files for vivid, trusty and utopic (ubuntu) as far as I can see, but you seem to be looking for Debian Jessie. You could try manually compiling on Debian: https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studi...ns#manually-compiling-on-debian-based-distros
