hello everyone,
I am new to Ubuntu and I am having some problems with getting OBS to launch.
My system is as follows:
Ubuntu (trusty tahr) 14.04LTS
Processor Intel Pentium (R) D 3.00Ghz x2
Graphics Gallium 0.4 on NV43
OS type 64 bit
Memory 2.0Gib
So what I have done so far:
I went to the terminal and followed these instructions:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg obs-studio
I got this from this site: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/ubuntu-14-04-ppa-installation-instructions.16495/
I started OBS within the terminal and got this:
Error: Failed to initialize video: Unspecified error.
In the terminal window I got:
error: Failed to create OpenGL context.
error: device_create (GL) failed
error: Failed to initialize video: Unspecified error.
So I did a search and came up with a similar thread:
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/video-failing-to-initialize-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts.16510/
It talks about updating the drivers on the Graphics card.
I now have this:
Graphics: GeForce 6600GT/PCIe/SSE2
Still same error is being generated.
So I searched for MESA support also talked about in that thread and got this:
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/mesa-drivers-should-now-be-working.17681/
it directed me to this page:
https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/commit/3967c6354a2f5ce9a08f416c7241d5563e28feb9
it is at this point I am in over my head. I do not know what to do with the information contained
on this page.
Finally I went to this page:
https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/releases
I downloaded the 0.6.4 and saved to downloads. I click on it and get:
could not display "obs-0.6.4-installer.dmg"
There is no application installed for "Apple disk image" files.
Do you want to search for an application to open this file?
I click yes but it gives me no choices and only a cancel button.
So here is the point where I am stuck, I either need help with how to use the information contained on
the last two web pages I visited or is my Graphics card Nvidia 6600GT just to old to run OBS in the
first place?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
