Does DaVinci Resolve work on Solus?

rockycse21

In my knowledge DaVinci is a good video editor. Some linux support it. My question, is it possible to install it on Solus? If so instruction please.

shan9656

I tried installing it, it installed without any issues but after the quick setup nothing happens, it doesn't open up

Fatih19

shan9656 How did you install it? Did you ran the .sh file?

rockycse21

shan9656 It means it's possible to install DaVinci Resolve. That's good. Now maybe some one provide us the process to help us to run it. Fatih19 What is this "beignet"?

shan9656

Fatih19 We get .run file from there website, just have to run it

Fatih19

As far as I know, even after installing it, one (and this is one among many) is that you would need a driver that enables openCL. If you're using nVidia, you download the proprietary drivers. If you use AMD, no luck, amd proprietary drivers is only available for Ubuntu derivative, RHEL, and CentOS, you could use ROCm but you'll (as far as you and I probably concerned) need to wait for the Fedora dev team to finish packaging it and then for the Solus dev team to package that for Solus. If you have Intel, I'm guessing that you should use beignet from the repo? I'm not sure tho.

shan9656

Fatih19 I have the proprietary drivers installed. Still, it doesn't run for me

DataDrake

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.

Fatih19

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.

shan9656

Oh ok. Thank you for explaining

yursan9

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

Fatih19

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

yursan9

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.

Fatih19

rockycse21 It's in the repo. It's the intel iGPU drivers.

shan9656

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

rockycse21

Fatih19 Thanks. I didn't know that before.

shan9656

Fatih19 Does installing that work?

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

arkhenius

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.

shan9656

arkhenius That would be really helpful.

Fatih19

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?

Fatih19

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

rockycse21

DataDrake and Whole Solus team , Thanks. Whole linux system missing a good video editing software. If this software come to Solus (linux), It would be very helpful for content creators. I do respect native video editors from software center.

saitam

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.
