Are we supposed to guess what the problem is?
Are they too teeny-tiny?
Has the user tried any of our more recent obs-studios? We are up to 26.1.0, so would like to see if the issue is the same.

it seems to be related to dual monitoring on nvidia

i use as a startup command over using xfwm compositor cause i always seem to have bad performance with gaming with that compositor

for some reason despite the HDMI-0 being 720p obs shows as a 360p window on the second monitor it's the only application that does it

and as for a new version well that's the version mx package manager installed when installed from the popular applications tab so yeah might want to fix that if you're going to recommend a newer version of obs :\

What does this have to do with fonts?

the fonts are tiny so i originally assumed it to be a font issue
it seems to go deeper then i originally thought even on version 26
this is on mxlinux non ahs version

Solved by installing the flatpak version

i really do think yall should consider making the obs package in mxlinux package installer just pull the flatpak build
it seems to be the one that never has any issues with mxlinux
plus flatpaks work on both systemd and sysv init so you don't have to worry about that

i use

Code: Select all

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DVI-I-0: 1366x768_60 +1280+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}, HDMI-0: 1280x720_60 +0+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}"

I only wanted to have the new version tested. If no one ever gives any feedback on a test repo version, it will stay in test forever. That's how most of our backports work.

The OBS version in the MX Test repo is the same as the flatpack version. The only difference is that the flatpak one runs within a flatpak runtime environment that contains all of OBS's dependencies. If the version from MX Test has problems on your system then something's wrong with your system, not with the package, but as you haven't included your Quick System Info it's impossible to say what that something might be.

Your suggestion that the package in MX Test could somehow be made to install the flatpak version is a bad idea. Most people don't want flatpacks as they take up a lot more room as they each contain their own copies of needed system libraries causing unnecessary duplication, and as they run in their own runtime environment(s) they don't respect the user's system themes very well. Better to have a 200kb native app than a 200mb flatpak app especially when they're the same versions.

Sure and i did solve the issue with the fonts

installing the newer version of xorg from the mx test repo seems to fix it but now i'm having an entirely different set of issues viewtopic.php?f=97&p=626173#p626173

We have a nice button that marks the thread solved, why do people still insist of renaming the subject line?
