[SOLVED][SOLUTION INSIDE]Davinci Expects An OpenCL compatible GPU

[SOLVED][SOLUTION INSIDE] Davinci  Expects An OpenCL compatible GPU, it used to work on windows

the resolve checker says i cannot use it

Atharva  ~  20:23  davinci-resolve-checker
Locale unavailable: C, using en_US instead
Using locale en_US
DaVinci Resolve checker 5.3.1
Installed DaVinci Resolve package: davinci-resolve-checker-git 5.2.8-1
lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -2
Chassis type: notebook
Installed OpenCL drivers:
        intel-compute-runtime 26.18.38308.1-1
Presented GPUs:
        Iris Plus Graphics G1 (Ice Lake) (kernel driver in use: i915)
OpenGL vendor string: Intel
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) UHD Graphics (ICL GT1)
clinfo detected platforms and devices:

Not found opencl platforms with appropriate GPUs. Check that you have installed corresponding driver. Otherwise you cannot run DR.
You have only Intel GPU. Currently DR cannot use intel GPUs for OpenCL. You cannot run DR. See https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/view … 21&t=81579

But the thing is that i used to run resolve smoothly even with my INTEGRATED Intel graphics, on windows
Ik it's not GNU/Linux's fault but hte dev's but still can i not use it ??

Try set environment variable

RUSTICL_ENABLE=iris

?

Re: [SOLVED][SOLUTION INSIDE]Davinci Expects An OpenCL compatible GPU

Unfortunately, no. DaVinci Resolve on Linux has much stricter GPU requirements than the Windows version. While it may run on Intel integrated graphics in Windows using different drivers, the Linux build doesn't officially support Intel GPUs for OpenCL. Unless Blackmagic adds support or you have a supported AMD/NVIDIA GPU, there's not really a workaround to make it run reliably.

Re: [SOLVED][SOLUTION INSIDE]Davinci Expects An OpenCL compatible GPU

thnx for the concern but atleast i got it to run, maybe I'll try to make it reliable and usable, but till then here is how it got it to ATLEAST RUN EVEN IF IT'S WITH BUGS

[SOLUTION]

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 INSIDE]Davinci Expects An OpenCL compatible GPU

Yo guyz,

Update, i got it working reliably

my resolve mas unusable cuz

no server-side decorations
keyboard shortcuts dead
drag & drop dead
file chooser opens but clicking Open does nothing
UI itself is responsive
global menu works

but i found out somewhere that the kde plasma global menu glitches up resolve's input handling, I REMOVED THAT WIDGET and it worked like a charm even on WAYLAND
