Hi all
So I’m only a few days into nix but I’m very keen to try to understand what’s going on here a little better…
I am on a vanilla fedora 36 installation right now, nvidia GPU and all that stuff natively…
So I just installed the 22.05 release of obs-studio via nix however when I run the package I get an odd error:
Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics drivers may need to be updated.
This doesn’t make sense as I can run the obs flatpak and rpm versions just fine right now…
am I missing some nvidia deps maybe?
(The reason I’m here is so that I can just run OBS and the “backgroundremoval” plugin, plus I really like what I’ve learned about nix thus far)
To install I have ran: $ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.obs-studio
To launch OBS I ran: $ nix-shell -p obs-studio $ obs
