Trying to set up a source (Window Capture [Xcomposite]) but all I get is a black screen. Setting chrome as the source works just fine. My mouse shows up in the broken source.

It looks like it's trying to allocate space for a pixel map but it's not allocating enough and then killing itself?

Edit:

Bug reported here:

Same thing but the red screen design was removed so now it's just a black screen w/ a red outline. The fix listed didn't work.

Edit 2:

Just got a little ubuntu report popup when I launched OBS.

dleyna-renderer-service segfaults in dir_device_unsubscribe.

Package: dleyna-renderer 0.4.0-1

A non-related question here. What graphics card do you have? Though this is another question, how did you get obs 17?
 
Switched to NVIDIA card and ran obs

I just registered to confirm this. I'm running standard Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 on an HP Zbook G4 laptop. OBS only sees black screens when capturing windows from, e.g., gnome-terminal and Microsoft Edge; it does see the contents of e.g. OBS, LibreOffice and Spotify.

The X server running is /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg from the xserver-xorg-core package, which uses the NVIDIA card.

Installing ccsm, disabling 'Composite' (which disables OpenGL and a bunch of other features) and restarting the X session does not resolve the issue. It would be nice if OBS could be clear about what's happening.

The error message thrown when starting to capture a window that turns out to be black:

error: xcompcap: cleanup glXReleaseTexImageEXT failed: GLXBadPixmap
error: xcompcap: glXCreatePixmap failed: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
