[SOLVED][SOLUTION]Davinci Resolve doesn't launch due to ABI mismatch

Atharva  ~  19:38  /opt/resolve/bin/resolve
/opt/resolve/bin/resolve: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_leave_pointer

no matter u launch it via gui or cli, it refuses to do so !
the other apps like 'Control Panels Setup' and 'Uninstall Resolve' scripts launch but the main does not

I figured out it's due to mismatch of the libpango package

I tried installing using the AUR, yay, but it took ages and 10+ gigs of space for sking qt5 compatibility layer,

even after that it didn't work

so i defaulted back to the official .zip and just ran it, installed, now this road block ! I'm stuck with this error

I'm new
Please Help !

Seems DVR shadows some libraries w/ dated copies, https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy/issue … 2824771968

Re: [SOLVED][SOLUTION]Davinci Resolve doesn't launch due to ABI mismatch

Thnx !

that issue was solved

maybe the devs for the linux version didn't pay attention to every distro
cause diff distros handle packages differently !

I scrolled though the GitHub issue u linked, copied some .so's into the resolve libs dir and it worked

Solution

https://github.com/pagoru/common/issues/1
davinci resolve - fresh installation in linux if doesn't run #

also this can be done to avoid launch the program via terminal every time.

cp /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so /opt/resolve/libs

cp /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so /opt/resolve/libs

cp /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so /opt/resolve/libs

if you have resolve in different dir than /opt/resolve be sure to change it.

Re: [SOLVED][SOLUTION]Davinci Resolve doesn't launch due to ABI mismatch

Earlier clinfo, or just opencl couldn't detect my INTEL IGPU,

some godsend guy told me to run

RUSTICL_ENABLE=iris clinfo

RUSTICL_ENABLE=iris     ---> this sets the env var to iris for that session and that session only
RUSTICL_ENABLE=iris clinfo -----> this runs clinfo with that variable set

RUSTICL_ENABLE=iris
clinfo ------------> running them separately did not work for me as clinfo will only see RUSTICL_ENABLE as 'iris' when ran in one line

so now clinfo detects my gpu but 'No. of workers' is still 0, so chatgpt helped
sudo pacman -S opencl-mesa

but i had clashing libraries

RUSTICL_ENABLE=iris OCL_ICD_DEBUG=7 clinfo

now check if --> ls -l /usr/lib/intel-opencl/libigdrcl.so
this lib exists or not

libRusticlOpenCL.so

pacman -Qs level-zero     --------> if this isnt installed, install it

pacman -Ss opencl-mesa extra/opencl-mesa 1:26.1.2-1 Open-source OpenCL drivers multilib/lib32-opencl-mesa 1:26.1.2-1 Open-source OpenCL drivers - 32-bit

pacman -Qs opencl-mesa
i found out that i do have the intel runtime but not the drivers

so i had the opencl runtime but not the drivers

Next step
Install it:
sudo pacman -S opencl-mesa
Then check:
ls /etc/OpenCL/vendors/
You should see something like:
intel.icd
mesa.icd

Now try:
RUSTICL_ENABLE=iris clinfo         ---------> for me opencl-mesa did it till here and clinfo had 'No. of devices' as 1 and not 0 this time

for me the problem is solved

BUT TO MAKE THIS PERMANENT, and not have to type RUSTICL_ENABLE every time, I set it as an ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE on startup

now whenever opencl is used, it sees RUSTICL runtime
so my gpu gets detected

now, THIS WILL SOLVE DAVINCI RESOLVE ISSUES ON ARCH PROBABLY, which were there in the first place cux they don't care about linux rn and don't ship a good enough installer to handle these issues

NOW JUST BECAUSE IT RUNS AND OPENS DOESN'T MEAN YOU'LL HAVE A SMOOTH EXPERIENCE out of the box

mine lags and has ui bugs making it unusable due to them NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTING US.

BUT MAYBE I'LL TRY TO SOLVE THOSE BUGS.

ATLEAST IT RUNS NOW YAYYYYYYYYY !

Re: [SOLVED][SOLUTION]Davinci Resolve doesn't launch due to ABI mismatch

Glad you solved it, DR can be very hard to troubleshoot.

Did the "godsend guy" mention https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … eneric_GPU ?

To improve performance try the drivers mentioned in section 1.3.4 on that same page (start with the first one listed)..
