Does DaVinci Resolve work on Solus?

shan9656 That's because Davinci Reolve doesn't have the proper dependencies to be able to run in Solus. It would need to be packaged for Solus to do that. This is not just a problem with Solus, even Ubuntu and its derivative would need to convert the .sh file to a .deb file and even then there's a chance that it wouldn't work.

Oh ok. Thank you for explaining

Run the davinci resolve from terminal. Then if it's complain about missing dependencies, install it from SC

yursan9 But that's assuming every dependencies are in the repos.

Well, it's better to be optimistic. If you manage to run the software, and give the community your steps to run the software; you're giving back to the community.

This is what it shows when I run DaVinci Resolve from the terminal

This is the crash report log

Fatih19 Does installing that work?

shan9656 Not necessarily. It enables openCL for your iGPU on intel but Resolve needs many more things to work.

I successfully ran DaVinci Resolve for almost a year on Solus with an Nvidia GTX 970, with proprietary drivers. I had to manually install some dependencies from the repos if I remember correctly though, but everything was there. I can try to check what those were when I get home.

Fatih19 We don't need to wait for Fedora. It's not as though we copy other distros for packaging. I have made some progress on the side with building ROCm. I just don't have time to finish it right now. I'm also starting to think that Clover in Mesa might be a better route forward.

arkhenius That would be really helpful.

DataDrake That's great if you can make it work, because that's really what holding many people back.

arkhenius What dependencies did you install? Might be helpful for other people. So, after you installed the dependencies and the drivers, you ran the downloaded file and then it worked?

DataDrake It would be great getting ROCm packaged in Solus. Did you make any progress on this ? I read from time to time the discussions on the ROCm github repository and it seems to be that it is quite a challenge. Hardcoded paths in the source code and incorrect usage of cmake.
