Question / Help Trying to run OBS on Debian Linux

[Vomit]

HI

I'm on debian.

I've just installed on my laptop which worked fine. Installed on my desktop and I'm getting an error window Failed to initialize video: Graphics module not found and the below terminal output

This is an issue I have as well.

The trick is to run

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=obs-studio --fstrans=no --backup=no --pkgversion="$(date +%Y%m%d)-git" --deldoc=yes
​

again from the OBS Build directory.

The answers should be as follows:

Should I create a default set of package docs? [y]: y
Do you want me to list them? [n]: n
Should I exclude them from the package? (Saying yes is a good idea) [n]: n
Do you want me to list them? [n]: n
Should I exclude them from the package? (Saying yes is a good idea) [y]: n
​

After this, OBS should launch and work after running the command "obs"

How did you "installed" obs on debian?

 

[goofybud16]

I followed the guide here.

So far it has worked beautifully and I have recorded many hours of footage from Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode 1, HL2: Episode 2, and HL2: Uncertainty Principle [a player made mod].

I have tried Streaming to twitch, and while it works, my internet is too slow.

How did you "installed" obs on debian?

I used the Ubuntu PPA. "vivid" seems compatible with jessie, at least as far as the obs-studio dependencies go.

i had this on debian

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libobs-opengl.so.0.0 /usr/lib/libobs-opengl.so.0

solved it for me as that library was missnamed (.0.0 instead of .0)
