Thanks.

@zeptic Thank you very much, your tip to download the driver and extract the files worked perfectly here on my Vega 3

Doesn't work. Stuck on "Looking for control surface" than closes itself. Laptop with nvidia gpu latest drivers.

The issue has been resolved by installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opencl-amd/ for some reason, it did not install at the initial installation of this package

Greetings @zeptic & @T0rtillas I tried your technique (with the script) on my RX590 but resolve seems to crash at startup. I unpacked the files as @T0rtillas described (same file names). The crash itself is silent and occurs after detecting all sound devices, without putting any errors in the console.

Here is the crash report:

/opt/resolve/bin/resolve() [0x550d939]
/opt/resolve/bin/resolve() [0x550d12a]
/usr/lib/libpthread.so.0(+0x140f0) [0x7f35cbf600f0]
Signal Number = 11

Here is a more detailed crash log: https://0x0.st/ikNr.txt

@zeptic

thx for you solution. Did extract everything you mentioned but can't find "amdgpu_dri.so". Can you post the exact archive name? Thank you in advance.

regards

@zeptic - So on Manjaro it opens fine now, but sadly the video window is black and flashes gibberish when playing. Thumbnails etc load fine. On Arco it still crashes. I slapped a RX480 in and it works fine on Manjaro. Just a thing to test for the MacOS part is fusion it runs REALLY well on AMD hardware. A 10s fusion countdown takes around 1min to play on Linux (Ubuntu) as my hardware works fine there. 20s on Windows and realtime on MacOS.

@zeptic - Thanks for the corrections on my paths. I'll test ASAP. As for Linux vs Windows, the gui is way more responsive on Linux for sure. My encodes used to be way faster on Linux too until 16.2 something changed. Oh one more benefit of MacOS is the ability to use h264 and aac without transcoding first. The have even removed aac or h264 from Linux Studio version which sucks.

I'll do the above changes and let you know - thanks again.

@matbonn looks like you've extracted everything to ~/pro/drivers/dri. You'll have to extract everything on ~/pro/drivers, only "amdgpu_dri" is supposed to go to ~/pro/drivers/dri. As for the performance, I only switched to Linux as my main because DaVinci Resolve ran noticeably snappier and didn't lag at all editing 4k footage, while on Windows it would struggle a bit. Haven't tested it on MacOS tho, might do a GPU passthrough to a VM and try it out. Anyways, good luck!

@zeptic thanks for that - it looks like it should solve the issue. Sadly I must be missing something.

I created ~/pro/drivers/dri
