After upgrading to Linux kernel 6.6.1 (linux-6.6.1.arch1), resolve failed to launch with AMD 6950XT GPU. Downgrading to 6.5.9 works great.

Is there a reason for not adding LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so as default to the .desktop file?

Currently getting:

(1/1) installing davinci-resolve                                    [#####################################] 100%
error: could not extract /opt/resolve/libs/libcufft.so.10 (Truncated zstd input)

Has anyone seen this?

Version 18.6.2 failed saying it could not find the run file. I realized this is because on line 25 _archive_run_name is set to only have the major version, but the run file has the full 18.6.2 in the file name.

Changing major_version to pkgver on line 25 fixed this problem.

This is for Davinci free. I cannot speak for Studio as I did not try to download that.

Doesn't work, gives

Version mismatch :: (1/1) Parsing SRCINFO: davinci-resolve Version mismatch -> error making: davinci-resolve-cannot find package name: [Version mismatch] -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: davinci-resolve - cannot find package name: [Version mismatch]

and doesn't install

Thank's @matbonn! Works for me too. Even in 18.6.2.

For others struggling to install the free version of 18.6.2, if you follow this steps:

Edit PKGBUILD changing this lines:

minor_version=0 to minor_version=2

sha256sums=('18f391cc522a336553a32c0c8c3eb0f47e0f7478687a08aae1acbf49bfa34560') to sha256sums=('2426a790a7e3c34a84694e6de3c09fdee03b86fb6ef859c235de6b4637363c1d')

install "jq" package

try "makepkg -si" (and if you get the error "cannot access './src/DaVinci_Resolve_18.6_Linux.run': No such file or directory" do mv ./src/DaVinci_Resolve_18.6.2_Linux.run ./src/DaVinci_Resolve_18.6_Linux.run)

try "makepkg -si" again

Before first start

sudo mkdir /opt/resolve/libs/_disabled sudo mv /opt/resolve/libs/libglib-2.0.so* /opt/resolve/libs/_disabled

Installation (at least through yay) no longer works, with the error:

 -> error making: davinci-resolve-cannot find package name: [Version mismatch]
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
davinci-resolve - cannot find package name: [Version mismatch]

@matbonn Thanks, it works for me too, even with 18.6.2
