Hi! i just recently installed OBS to my computer running linux mint 17.3 useing


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install obs-studio


The program was working fine the first time i used it. I made one scene then closed it. Then the next time i tried to open it i get a message saying
"Failed to initialize video: Invalid parameters"

So when i try running obs through the terminal this is what i get
Code: 
tes@tessa-fromhell-1781 ~ $ obs

from a terminal, run glxinfo | grep OpenGL
Paste the results.

Also, what settings did you originally set for video?
