Since DaVinci Resolve Studio cannot be installed directly via AUR helpers like paru or yay, I suggest adding and pinning a clear step-by-step guide for beginners explaining how to build and install the package from the local installer.

The instructions should also include how to obtain the required .zip file from the official Blackmagic Design website:

  1. Go to https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
  2. In the "Latest Downloads" section, select the latest version of "DaVinci Resolve Studio" for Linux
  3. Fill out the registration form (name, email, etc.)
  4. After submitting, a .zip file will be downloaded automatically – this file must be placed in the same directory as the PKGBUILD before building
  5. Continue ...

Such a guide would be helpful for users new to Arch-based systems who legally own a DRS license but are unfamiliar with manual package building.

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.

I cannot get this program to run on Linux First I got the popular error:

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

I read about the possible solutions:

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

But now the It seems the program tries to launch, but I get this error:

I never see the welcome screen:

ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= c005, Mode= 13, Level= 1, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0 ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= c006, Mode= 13, Level= 1, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0 ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= c007, Mode= 13, Level= 1, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0 ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= 2282, Mode= 0, Level= 0, CmdKey= 8, Option= 0 PnlMsgActionStringAdapter Already in Table: Code= 615e, Mode= 0, Level= 0, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0

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

Finnally when I try to get it working from command line I get:

ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= c005, Mode= 13, Level= 1, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0 ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= c006, Mode= 13, Level= 1, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0 ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= c007, Mode= 13, Level= 1, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0 ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= 2282, Mode= 0, Level= 0, CmdKey= 8, Option= 0 PnlMsgActionStringAdapter Already in Table: Code= 615e, Mode= 0, Level= 0, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0

To get the activation to work, I had to run the following:

sudo chown -R <user> /opt/resolve/

Without this I just got the generic "There was an error attempting to perform the activation"

I am guessing this is because my user did not have access to write to the folder.

I am unsure if this is the best approach though as I suspect this could cause issues when I go to run an update later.

There's no need to make a symlink, you can just replace ${major_version} with ${pkgver} in the _archive_run_name in the STUDIO elif in the PKGBUILD

@FraYoshi DaVinci won't launch and your workaround worked, thanks :-)

@Bink Thanks for the workaround, helped with updating!

if anyone comes across this problem, here are the step by step instructions:

  1. download davinci-resolve-studio PKGBUILD
  2. apply minor_version and sha256sum fix
  3. try to build it with makepkg -si (error is expected)
  4. make a symlink (ln -s thing)
  5. finally, build it with makepkg -si (should be success)

Bink commented on 2023-10-13 04:40 (UTC) (edited on 2023-10-13 05:27 (UTC) by Bink)

These steps resulted in a successful build/install for me.

Updating minor_version=0 to minor_version=2 resolves the "Version mismatch" error, but it'll fail the checksum test, so that needs updating too.

The downloaded file (DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_18.6.2_Linux.zip) produces this checksum for me:

sha256sums=('87dd79401ab23f9b1027c4bc04a1954ceb80886d402ae6be5bb2805c37439f6d')

After a failed makepkg attempt, I also needed to create a symlink in src/ folder, so it found the file it was looking for.

ln -s DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_18.6.2_Linux.run DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_18.6_Linux.run

@saschabaer I started having the same issue trying to rebuild even though I had already built 18.6.0-3, I think it might be since 18.6.2 is out and the source link might not work anymore.

saschabaer commented on 2023-10-08 17:20 (UTC)

hey there,

upgrade from 18.1.2-1 to 18.6.0-3 fails.

I got the following error:

Building davinci-resolve-studio... Version mismatch

Any idea?

FraYoshi commented on 2023-10-08 06:23 (UTC)

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!

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.
