OBS - Do not start (Maybe a locale problem)

[Caramel]

EasyOS Scarthgap64 and Daedalus64, version 6.5.4

After installation (as non-root) with PKGget of OBS Studio (by clicking on the orange ball in the menu(section Multimedia), OBS do not start (both in Scarthgap and Daedalus)

In terminal (EasyOS Scarthgap):

# obs
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-obs'
debug: Attempted path: share/obs/obs-studio/locale/en-US.ini
debug: Attempted path: /usr/share/obs/obs-studio/locale/en-US.ini

/usr/share/obs/obs-studio/locale/ exists but it is empty

NB : In EasyOS Daedalus, when I first installed VLC with PKGget, the window with the button to download and install reappeared a second time after the download of the packages.
I have clicked again and there was error messages as the packages was already installed.
After the complete installation a missing dependancy was annouced (vlc-plugin-abi-3-0-0f)
EDIT for the NB : In fact , vlc-plugin-3.0.0f is a virtual package for libvlccore9 that is installed

[Caramel]

Some files from the obs-studio package was not installed.

It could be related with the option "Trim the fat" i used during the installation.

EDIT

Lines 427 to 439 from /usr/local/petget/downloadpkgs.sh

Code: Select all

   while read ONEFILE
   do
    [ ! -f "$ONEFILE" ] && continue
    [ -h "$ONEFILE" ] && continue
    #find out if this is an (nls) international language file...
    #150205 note: about same code is not 2createpackages.
    if [ "$ENTRY_LOCALE" != "" ];then
     if [ "`echo -n "$ONEFILE" | grep -E '/locale/|/nls/|/i18n/|/translations/' | grep -v -E "$elPATTERN"`" != "" ];then
      if [ "`echo -n "$ONEFILE" | grep -E 'share/X11/locale/|chrome/'`" = "" ];then #150205 T2, need Xorg locale files in main pkg. chrome/en-US/locale is in seamonkey.
       rm -f "$ONEFILE"

       mv -f /tmp/petget_pkgfiles_temp /root/.packages/${PKGNAME}.files
      fi

$ONEFILE is a file from a package
$ENTRY_LOCALE is the list of the locales to preserve ( example $ENTRY_LOCALE=en,fr )
elPATTERN="`echo -n "$ENTRY_LOCALE" | tr ',' '\n' | sed -e 's%^%/%' -e 's%$%/%' | tr '\n' '|'`" (Line 423) ( In the example $elPATTERN=/en/|/fr/ )

@Caramel :-

A suggestion, FWIW. I don't know if you're concerned about "must have the very newest version". If you're not too fussed about having the latest version, you're welcome to try the 'portable' package of OBS I put together a while back.

This is based around an AppImage of OBS that I found over at AppImageHub.....v25.07, IIRC.

I briefly tried out EasyOS some time ago, coupla years ago - EasyOS 'Buster', I think it was. Most of the 'portables' I've put together seemed quite happy to run in EasyOS at that time, including the OBS-portable. (In case you're not aware, AppImages unpack themselves into /tmp, then run from there for the duration of the session).

==========================================

If you fancy giving OBS-portable a look, you can find it at my MEGA.nz a/c, here:-

https://mega.nz/folder/bXgXDYoS#TEvjtGM-lYq5Kz4EwHJhyQ

Entirely up to you, of course. Just a thought.

Mike.

Will not also work when I click the orange ball.
I put the icon on my desktop during install and it will work.

Are you running Easy 6.5.4?
It fixed a problem with orange-ball menu entries.

Problem was described here, with a fix:

Maybe I will remove that "Trim the fat" button.
It goes back to the early Puppy days, when we had much less storage space available.

Yes, I'm running Easy 6.5.4
Problem was gone after rebooting. Its OK now under Menu and on desktop icon.

In EasyOS Daedalus64, I removed obs-sutdio via PKGget.

Note in the menu the orange ball entry was still there before the uninstallation but it was disappeared after.
OBS was installed as non-root. The icon and the directory /home/obs was not deleted by the uninstallation.

I reinstalled obs-studio via PKGget. without trim the fat. An entry was created at the top of the multimedia section of the menu.

OBS Studio started

Same In EasyOS Scarthgap64 (with package obs) (This time no problem with the entry in the menu)
OBS (installed as non root) do not start

In Easy Scarthgap 6.5.4, after addition in /usr/lib of the files

libobs-opengl.so.1 (shortcut)
libobs-opengl.so.29
libobsglad.so.1 (shortcut)
libobsglad.so.29
libwayland-egl.so.1 (shortcut)
libwayland-egl.so.1.21.0

coming from Easy Daedalus,

OBS starts.

NB: there was already a shortcut libobs-opengl.so.1 before the addition of the Daedalus version.
