I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04, updated it, and then installed obs-studio from the repository, but I am getting this error:

obs studio failed to initialize video your gpu may not be supported

I tried to run it with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 obs-studio or LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 obs, but still the same error message. I also tried other Nvidea drivers but it didn't work.

Is OBS not currently working with Ubuntu 20.04?

Here is the graphics card info:

lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 635M] (rev a1)

I solved the issue by installing obs from Ubuntu software center (snap version).

You can also install it using sudo snap install obs-studio in your terminal

Restart Ubuntu. This happens because the driver has been updated (nvidia) and it has not reloaded.
