Unsupported GPU / Graphics Update

[jarno33]

Hi, when i try to launch OBS Studio on my Linux Ubuntu 18.04 (It's running xfce4) It says this:

Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics drivers may need to be updated

Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is a common error if you have recently installed or updated your graphics drivers. Rebooting the system usually fixes this issue.

Ensure you are using the correct and latest GPU drivers, if using Nvidia GPU install the Official drivers provided for your distribution, and same goes if using AMD GPU. Reboot your computer after installing/upgrading drivers and OBS should work properly after.
