Expected Behavior

To be able to view either website or local files in OBS source

Current Behavior

Blank view of OBS source
Screenshot from 2024-03-05 03-57-59

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Ubuntu Server 23.10
  2. Install ubuntu-desktop-minimal & ffmpeg
  3. Install OBS from ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
sudo apt install obs-studio
  1. Launch OBS studio and try to add a browser source
  2. Installing ubuntu-desktop resolves the issue
  • Interestingly enough, uninstalling + purging ubuntu-desktop does not bring the issue back.

Anything else we should know?

I have not checked on the package diffs between ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop-minimal nor tested with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I understand this is a strange edge case, but I wanted to create this issue for visibility to others in case someone else runs into this issue.

I have no idea what fixed it but I did the good ol sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y, installed vlc, rebooted and it worked.
