Segmentation Fault

[Glitch Artist]

Hi; I am using Linux Mint 21.2 Kernel 5.15.0-91.
I recently built a new pc (sysinfo pasted below) and trying to run OBS crashes reading <Segmentation fault> whether booting normally or in safe mode.
I have tried uninstalling <libva-vdpau-driver>, but I didn't have it installed to begin with.
(Where I found that fix: #9914 (comment))
I've uninstalled and reinstalled quite a few times (purged as described here: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/segmentation-fault.48105/post-299248).

I'm also trying to use the current PPA version. The Flatpack does "work", but it's capabilities are severely dampened as well as not supporting hardware encoding.

I found this fix I found quoted somewhere (sorry I don't have a link to the post), but I am wary of trying it since it seems like an NVidea fix whereas I am using all AMD hardware. https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/

If I can get any idea as to either fix the segmentation fault or get the flatpack to support the AV1 hardware encoder, I would greatly appreciate the assistance. I'm not sure how to run a gbd backtrace to give you more details, but if you need anything more I'll do my best to provide the info. I'm somewhat new to linux so please be kind if this an easy fix and I'm dumb or something.

UPDATE: Still doesn't work, but I've noticed after purging the files, re-installing it, and using <sudo obs>, it does run for the first time. after the first, then it continuously fails. A simple uninstall and re-install doesn't do this, only the purge I linked in my og post.
Starting to think it's something with config files that it doesn't like.

This is the terminal after it ran and I closed it.

Oh my god I just found the solution.

"Had the same issue here with Linux Mint, fresh install from two weeks ago, all libraries and modules current and up to date. Was worried that I had to remove my nvidia drivers (which are needed for DaVinci Resolve) and deleting the "DockState" in the ini file helped. Somehow this seems to be a bug in the config to me..."

I found mine in <~/.config/obs-studio/global.ini>
A quick ctrl+f to search for DockState to find <DockState=(a lot of Letters)>
I deleted the entire string of characters following DockState= (stopping at ExtraBrowserDocks=) and it opens fine now.
After re-opening and re-closing a few times, it seems to have "rebuilt" the DockState, but it has been no issue. I'll update this forum post if that changes.

I found mine in <~/.config/obs-studio/global.ini>
A quick ctrl+f to search for DockState to find <DockState=(a lot of Letters)>
I deleted the entire string of characters following DockState= (stopping at ExtraBrowserDocks=) and it opens fine now.
After re-opening and re-closing a few times, it seems to have "rebuilt" the DockState, but it has been no issue. I'll update this forum post if that changes.

You're a beautiful human being, thanks for posting this. That got me out of a jam where OBS was remembering an invalid dock configuration after changing display resolutions on Kubuntu and immediately segfaulting on startup

Thanks a lot for this, you helped me big time!!

deleting all of the characters after DockState= in the ~/.config/obs-studio/global.ini also fixed it for me

I have no idea why it messed up but I was having to delete the whole folder previously. It always messes up and seg faults after the first successful launch. How did you figure out that it was DockState doing the dirty deed?

I am on ubuntu 22.04, kernel 6.5.0-18-generic

I just found this thread but my situation is a little different...
- OBS is working for me and I just did a 2-hour livestream with it last night
- BUT, it doesn't shut down properly.

I tried the solution presented here but all it did was mess up the way I had my browser docks configured. Luckily, I made a backup of the global.ini so I just put it back the way it was.

Here's my terminal output showing my startup info, then the final output when shutting down:

I am selecting File > Quit to shutdown OBS and I'm NOT shutting down the computer.

It turns out, if I close the TWITCH CHAT dock before I shut down OBS, everything is fine and OBS closes normally.

I'm going to research this further and I will open a new thread if necessary. I hope this helps someone.

UPDATE: Still doesn't work, but I've noticed after purging the files, re-installing it, and using <sudo obs>, it does run for the first time. after the first, then it continuously fails. A simple uninstall and re-install doesn't do this, only the purge I linked in my og post.
Starting to think it's something with config files that it doesn't like.

Thank you. Amazing human!

Oh my god I just found the solution.

for me, removing the dockstate string under the twitch settings in my profile basic.ini fixed it (~/.config/obs-studio/basic/profiles/<profile name>)
