Hi

Note I use the proprietary driver for my nvidia 1060 :

[vouf@solar ~]$ rpm -qa |grep nvidia
nvidia-current-utils-460.39-2.mga8.nonfree
lib64nvidia-egl-wayland1-1.1.5-3.mga8
nvidia-current-doc-html-460.39-2.mga8.nonfree
x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-460.39-2.mga8.nonfree
nvidia-current-cuda-opencl-460.39-2.mga8.nonfree
dkms-nvidia-current-460.39-2.mga8.nonfree
Comment 5 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-01-31 19:19:52 CET 
Reproduced on same kind of hardware.
Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti
nvidia-current nonfree drivers.

Obs-studio installed as is.

Plasma x86_64 from Classic ISO install, UEFI mode.
core + nonfree + tainted repos activated.

Assigning to package maintainer.

Comment 6 Jean Michel Varvou 2021-01-31 19:32:50 CET 
Hi

I have installed obs-studio-26.1.2-1.mga8. Then I have installed obs-studio-26.1.2-1.mga8.tainted . The problem is solved..

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 7 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-01-31 20:26:03 CET 
This does not help. Why a tainted package was not proposed by urpmi? Am I missing something?
Comment 8 Dave Hodgins 2021-01-31 23:55:41 CET 
Most likely the tainted repos had not previously been enabled.
