Question / Help I've got an error when launching OBS Studio.

[guillaumesoucy]

Hello all!

I get an error when launching OBS Studio via X2GO-Client on Linux Mint.

What I've got is:

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

When directly connecting to the physical machine LCD display, it works flawlessly. Is something is required to get done to be able to get rid of that issue?

The machine details is available here

Thanks in advance for your help!

From a terminal, run "glxinfo | grep OpenGL" and provide the output.

Hello,

This is what I get:

OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 8.0, 128 bits) OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa 19.0.8 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.40 OpenGL context flags: (none) OpenGL extensions:

The use of OBS on a virtual machine is NOT supported.

This is a physical machine, I connect to it using x2go-client from another station over the same LAN (ergonomic matters).
I really don't know why I've got OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. there.

I appologies for the confusion.

You probably are using a virtual terminal rather than the physical video card if that's the case.
OBS needs direct access to the actual video card.

That right what I use.

Ok thanks for the help.
