Arch Linux User Repository

IMPORTANT!

Since version 19.1.3-2 this package will not download automatically the source file from the upstream site.

To build this package you will need to manually download the file from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD.

This would reduce the mess in this package, making it more readable and clear. Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.

If you get this error like me:

/opt/resolve/bin/resolve: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_string_free_and_steal

You can solve it by preloading the linked library libglib-2.0.so by using this command before launching Resolve:

export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so"

Hi there! package can't be upgraded. I got the following error. Any idea what might cause it? Thx in advance!

Failed to build davinci-resolve-studio

Generally Resolve Studio works with the latest commits on my system.

One problem left - where I don't know where it might come from - the Mini Panel doesn't work. Had that some time ago that it worked with one version of Ubuntu but not with another. It isn't connecting either via USB nor via Ethernet. Have a parallel install of Ubuntu 23.10 which I occasionally need to test stuff with. There I installed Resolve Studio when it hadn't worked on Arch after the update to 18.6 and the Panel works there. Any idea?

Might ask that question over in the Blackmagic forum when I have time but wanted to give some feedback here, that generally the changes helped and it seems to work besides that. (Also BMD wasn't often very responsive when running a non official supported system ...)

P.S. The black screen on first start was there for some time on different installs I had but was always fixable by killing resolve once and starting it again.

Get this error upon installation mv: cannot stat '/home/user/.cache/yay/davinci-resolve-studio/src/squashfs-root/libc++.so.1': No such file or directory

get the same error with paru

I had to monitor a subfolder ~/.cache/paru/clone/davinci-resolve-studio/src/squashfs-root/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI/libc++.so.1 and the moment libc++ file was there copied it to the relevant folder before paru moans

Thanks a lot mgisbers for the workaround LD_PRELOAD=/opt/resolve/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI/libc++.so.1 /opt/resolve/bin/resolve works great! The issue is libc++.so.1 in the /opt/resolve/libs is much older than the one in /opt/resolve/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI, which caused the issue.

I encounter another issue is that the start up setup screen is completely blank for me. (Also the quick export in the "cut" tab is also blank). Not sure if it is the qt-webkit issue or some other issues.

To workaround the welcome setup screen, just kill the process and restart.

To install version 18.6.0 the the _installer_binary has to have version 18.6 instead of 18.6.0

 prepare()

The missing symbol (_ZTVNSt3__14__fs10filesystem16filesystem_errorE) is part of libc++.so.1 which is present in the install but not within the /opt/resolve/libs path.

It can be found in /opt/resolve/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI/ or /opt/resolve/BlackmagicRAWSpeedTest/BlackmagicRawAPI/. Copy or link it from there to /opt/resolve/libs or start resolve with an LD_PRELOAD.

Tried the 18.6 update today and got

error: failed to build 'davinci-resolve-studio-18.6.0-1':

Checking the src folder, I see that the file is actually DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_18.6_Linux.run and not DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_18.6.0_Linux.run

I got such error when building 18.5.1:

Version mismatch

Even I downloaded Resolve's ZIP from BMD's website in browser and copy it to the PKGBUILD's dir, it still tries to get _pkgver via CURL. I manually commented out the check because I already downloaded ZIP.

Maybe it should not try to obtain source if user already provided it.

I encountered the same error in resolve studio 18.6 as irieger.

The file needed should be in libstdc++.so.6 but there seems to be an ABI differences there.
