Hi, there

I have a new ubuntu 14.04.02-LTS server with a “Intel Xeon E3-1245 V3” cpu, when i tried to configure quicksync follow this guide:[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-quick-sync-accelerated-encoding-on-linux](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-quick-sync-accelerated-encoding-on-linux), it failed when i install the kernel: “apt-get install linux-headers-3.8.0-23 linux-headers-3.8.0-23-generic linux-image-3.8.0-23-generic --fix-missing”.

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.8.0-23

Hi Leo,

Quick Sync support on linux is very limited with respect to the kernel versions that are supported. The 3.8.0-23 kernel is a Ubuntu 12.04 kernel so you do need to start with that version of Ubuntu.

Windows support is a lot better and as of Win 8 or Win 2K12, there isn’t a problem with using Quick Sync or NVENC in Wowza software running as a Windows service.

Roger.

Hi, Roger

I build a kernel version 3.8.0-generic download from [https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel](https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel), it worked, QuickSync is availabled. But when i transcoded only one stream, it take a high gpu utilization up to 50%, it’s only cost 10% normally.Maybe the ubuntu version problem or something else, i will try ubuntu 12.04.

As you mentioned, Windows provide a better support to Wowza quicksync, if it slao provide a better transcoding performance like picture quality than linux?

Thanks
