So I downloaded shadow on Linux and when I press start, it successfully loads into shadow but doesn't show my stream, it's just a white screen, what do I do?
#white screen???
austere raptor
spring path
You most likely ticked software rendering
You need to configure hardware decoding properly
austere raptor
How do I install that? @spring path
I have no idea what to do
Man... I don't know what to do. @spring path

@austere raptor check the prerequisites for the Linux distro you use.
Install them.
austere raptor
<@792473233479827486> check the prerequisites for the Linux distro you use.
In...
Linux mint now
Do you know where they're at?
river ravine
Try Ubuntu prerequisites on the repackaged website.
austere raptor
Okay, where are they?
river ravine
And don't forget the graphic drivers for your device.
austere raptor
The gitlab kinda confused me and I'm new to Linux (using it for 2 months now)
river ravine
I mean it's just one page.
river ravine
river ravine
"packages prerequisites"
austere raptor
Lemme see
OH MY GOD
I'm so dumb
The prerequisites are clickable
I'm actually stupid, you can legally call me stupid
austere raptor
I just didn't know what to put
Now I know
Since I downloaded it, lemme see if shadow works
river ravine
So install the prerequisites, and especially the graphics drivers for your local computer.
What GPU do you got ?
austere raptor
How do I uhh
Give me a sec
I have an old laptop alr? Here's my gpu:
Intel mobile 4 series chipset
That's what neofetch says to me
river ravine
So Intel.
river ravine
In the Ubuntu prerequisites, there's a command to install Intel drivers.
austere raptor
May you tell me?
Idk if I did it
I did copy and paste the install link
But I'm not sure if I did it correctly
river ravine
Do it again and post a screenshot of the terminal window when the command has ended.
austere raptor
Okay
There we go
I installed everything
Hopefully that works
Wth it still does the white screen thing
river ravine
This is not the Intel drivers command.
austere raptor
It's not?
OH wait
You mean the Intel drivers <8 command?
Ehh, even if i download the Intel <8 command
A difference isn't visual
Any other solutions AK?
river ravine
Post a screen of the Shadow launcher settings.
austere raptor
Hopefully this is the correct settings for you @river ravine
This issue is really bugging me
And I am wasting days of shadow because of it
river ravine
Just tell what happens without this option.
austere raptor
R-300
And I already updated my graphic driver so, I don't know what to do
Software deciding is the only thing that makes the error go away for me
But it caused more errors I believe
spring path
grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo|uniq && vainfo
spring path
send this command in a linux terminal, paste back here the results
spring path
model name should not me changed
spring path
but anyway, this laptop won't do hardware decoding
austere raptor
I can't use shadow?
spring path
unlikely except if you manage to install GM45 third party driver and make vainfo command returns H264 (requires good linux skills)
austere raptor
I am a noob at linux
Do you have good Linux skills?
Because, I wanna try every chance I can take.
spring path
yes, but not the time to drive you step by step into this, maybe a quickwin would be to install manjaro and this AUR : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libva-intel-driver-g45-h264...
austere raptor
Manjaro? Alright, I'll distro hop lol
It's getting pretty late
Am I able to ask for help tomorrow when I have everything set?
austere raptor
Okay i fixed it by deleting the crash file but
It crashes now.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to use shadow again.
