# DaVinci Resolve installer for Omarchy/Arch — one-shot, self-healing, ABI-safe
|
||||
# - ZIP already in ~/Downloads/
|
||||
# - Assumes NVIDIA drivers are already installed and working
|
||||
# - Extracts in ~/Downloads, minimal validation, AUR-style unbundling (glib/gio/gmodule only), RPATH patch
|
||||
# - Installs system desktop files & icons, creates wrapper, rewires system desktop
|
||||
# - Creates a user .desktop pointing to the wrapper (Hyprland-friendly)
|
||||
# - Leaves vendor libc++/libc++abi in place (prevents ABI breakage)
|
||||
# - Ensures legacy libcrypt.so.1 via libxcrypt-compat + fallback symlink
|

# ==============================================================================
|
||||
# DaVinci Resolve Installer for Omarchy (Arch Linux + Hyprland + NVIDIA)
|
||||
#
|
||||
# DaVinci Resolve is a professional video editing suite by Blackmagic Design.
|
||||
# It's distributed as a self-extracting AppImage-style .run file inside a ZIP.
|
||||
# This script automates the entire installation process on Omarchy, handling
|
||||
# all the quirks and workarounds needed to get Resolve running on Arch Linux.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Why this script exists:
|
||||
# Resolve is built for CentOS/RHEL and bundles its own versions of many
|
||||
# libraries. On Arch Linux, some of these bundled libraries conflict with
|
||||
# system libraries (especially glib), while others (libc++, libc++abi)
|
||||
# MUST be kept because Resolve was compiled against specific ABI versions.
|
||||
# Getting this balance right is tricky — this script handles it automatically.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# What this script does:
|
||||
# 1. Finds the Resolve ZIP in ~/Downloads/
|
||||
# 2. Installs system dependencies (codecs, GPU libs, legacy compat libs)
|
||||
# 3. Extracts the ZIP → .run → squashfs-root (AppImage payload)
|
||||
# 4. Replaces bundled glib/gio/gmodule with system versions (ABI-safe)
|
||||
# 5. Keeps vendor libc++/libc++abi (removing these breaks Resolve)
|
||||
# 6. Installs to /opt/resolve with RPATH patching for all ELF binaries
|
||||
# 7. Ensures legacy libcrypt.so.1 is available (Arch dropped it)
|
||||
# 8. Installs desktop entries, icons, and udev rules
|
||||
# 9. Creates an XWayland wrapper script for Hyprland compatibility
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Prerequisites:
|
||||
# - Omarchy (Arch Linux) with NVIDIA drivers installed and working
|
||||
# - DaVinci Resolve Linux ZIP downloaded to ~/Downloads/
|
||||
# - Internet connection (for installing packages)

|

# DaVinci Resolve - Omarchy
|
||||
|
||||
Install [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) on [Omarchy](https://omarchy.com) (Arch Linux + Hyprland) with NVIDIA GPU support.
|
||||
|
||||
Handles all the compatibility quirks of running Resolve on Arch Linux — library conflicts, XWayland setup, RPATH patching, and legacy library shims — so you don't have to.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- **OS**: [Omarchy](https://omarchy.com) (Arch Linux)
|
||||
- **GPU**: NVIDIA with proprietary drivers installed and working
|
||||
- **Disk space**: ~10GB free in ~/Downloads for extraction (temporary)
|
||||
- **DaVinci Resolve ZIP**: Downloaded from Blackmagic's website
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Download DaVinci Resolve** from [blackmagicdesign.com](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve)
|
||||
- Choose "DaVinci Resolve" (free) or "DaVinci Resolve Studio" (paid)
|
||||
- Select **Linux** and download the ZIP file
|
||||
- Save it to `~/Downloads/`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Run the installer**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/28allday/DaVinci-Resolve-Omarchy.git
|
||||
cd DaVinci-Resolve-Omarchy
|
||||
chmod +x Omarchy_resolve_v2.sh
|
||||
./Omarchy_resolve_v2.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Launch Resolve** from your app menu or run `resolve-nvidia-open`
|
||||
|
||||
## What It Does
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Installs Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
**Build/extraction tools:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Package | Purpose |
|
||||
|---------|---------|
|
||||
| `unzip` | Extracts the Resolve ZIP archive |
|
||||
| `patchelf` | Modifies library search paths (RPATH) in binaries |
|
||||
| `libarchive` | Archive handling library |
|
||||
| `desktop-file-utils` | App menu integration |
|
||||
| `file` | Identifies ELF binaries for RPATH patching |
|
||||
|
||||
**Runtime dependencies:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Package | Purpose |
|
||||
|---------|---------|
|
||||
| `libxcrypt-compat` | Provides legacy `libcrypt.so.1` (Arch dropped it) |
|
||||
| `ffmpeg4.4` | Older FFmpeg version that Resolve links against |
|
||||
| `glu` | OpenGL Utility Library for 3D rendering |
|
||||
| `gtk2` | GTK2 toolkit (some Resolve UI components use it) |
|
||||
| `fuse2` | AppImage compatibility layer |
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Extracts Resolve
|
||||
|
||||
The download is a ZIP containing a `.run` file (self-extracting AppImage). The script unpacks it in stages:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ZIP → .run file → squashfs-root (actual application files)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Temporary files are cleaned up automatically when the script finishes.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Handles Library Conflicts (ABI-Safe)
|
||||
|
||||
This is the tricky part. Resolve bundles its own libraries, but some conflict with Arch's newer versions:
|
||||
|
||||
| Library | Action | Why |
|
||||
|---------|--------|-----|
|
||||
| `libglib-2.0.so` | **Replace** with system | Stable C ABI, safe to swap |
|
||||
| `libgio-2.0.so` | **Replace** with system | Stable C ABI, safe to swap |
|
||||
| `libgmodule-2.0.so` | **Replace** with system | Stable C ABI, safe to swap |
|
||||
| `libc++.so` | **Keep** bundled | C++ ABI mismatch causes crashes |
|
||||
| `libc++abi.so` | **Keep** bundled | C++ ABI mismatch causes crashes |
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Patches RPATH
|
||||
|
||||
Every ELF binary in Resolve gets its RPATH patched to point to `/opt/resolve/libs/` and subdirectories. Without this, binaries would look for libraries in the original AppImage paths that no longer exist.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Creates XWayland Wrapper
|
||||
|
||||
Resolve doesn't support native Wayland. The wrapper script (`resolve-nvidia-open`) forces XWayland mode by setting `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb`, and also clears stale Qt lockfiles that can prevent Resolve from starting after a crash.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Desktop Integration
|
||||
|
||||
- Installs `.desktop` files for the app menu
|
||||
- Installs icons at proper hicolor sizes
|
||||
- Installs udev rules for Blackmagic hardware (capture cards, control panels)
|
||||
- Points all launchers at the XWayland wrapper
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Installed
|
||||
|
||||
### Application
|
||||
|
||||
| Path | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|---------|
|
||||
| `/opt/resolve/` | Main application directory |
|
||||
| `/opt/resolve/bin/resolve` | Resolve binary |
|
||||
| `/opt/resolve/libs/` | Bundled libraries |
|
||||
|
||||
### Scripts
|
||||

||||
| Path | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|---------|
|
||||
| `/usr/local/bin/resolve-nvidia-open` | XWayland wrapper (main launcher) |
|
||||
| `/usr/bin/davinci-resolve` | Convenience symlink to wrapper |
|
||||
|
||||
### Desktop Entries
|
||||
|
||||
| Path | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|---------|
|
||||
| `/usr/share/applications/DaVinciResolve.desktop` | System app menu entry |
|
||||
| `~/.local/share/applications/davinci-resolve-wrapper.desktop` | User entry (takes priority) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Icons
|
||||
|
||||
| Path | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|---------|
|
||||
| `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/davinci-resolve.png` | App icon |
|
||||
|
||||
### Hardware Support
|
||||
|
||||
| Path | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|---------|
|
||||
| `/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-BlackmagicDevices.rules` | Blackmagic capture cards |
|
||||
| `/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-ResolveKeyboardHID.rules` | Resolve Editor Keyboard |
|
||||
| `/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/99-DavinciPanel.rules` | DaVinci control panels |
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Full System Upgrade
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the script syncs the package database without upgrading. To include a full system upgrade:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
RESOLVE_FULL_UPGRADE=1 ./Omarchy_resolve_v2.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Hybrid GPU Laptops (Optimus)
|
||||
|
||||
If you have an Intel iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU, edit the wrapper to force Resolve onto the NVIDIA GPU:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/resolve-nvidia-open
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Uncomment these lines:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
|
||||
export __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Resolve won't start / crashes immediately
|
||||
|
||||
- Check logs: `~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/logs/ResolveDebug.txt`
|
||||
- Verify NVIDIA driver is working: `nvidia-smi`
|
||||
- Try launching from terminal to see errors: `resolve-nvidia-open`
|
||||
|
||||
### "Cannot open display" error
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure XWayland is enabled in Hyprland (it is by default on Omarchy)
|
||||
- Check the wrapper is using xcb: `grep QT_QPA_PLATFORM /usr/local/bin/resolve-nvidia-open`
|
||||
|
||||
### Resolve says "single instance already running"
|
||||
|
||||
Stale lockfiles from a previous crash. The wrapper clears these automatically, but if it persists:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
rm -f /tmp/qtsingleapp-DaVinci*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing library errors
|
||||
|
||||
Re-run the installer — it will re-patch RPATH and re-check dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./Omarchy_resolve_v2.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### GPU not detected / OpenCL errors
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure NVIDIA drivers are installed: `pacman -Qi nvidia-utils`
|
||||
- Check GPU is visible: `nvidia-smi`
|
||||
- Verify OpenCL: `pacman -S --needed opencl-nvidia`
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating Resolve
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the new version ZIP from Blackmagic's website to `~/Downloads/`
|
||||
2. Run the installer again — it automatically picks the newest ZIP:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./Omarchy_resolve_v2.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The previous installation at `/opt/resolve` will be replaced.
|
||||
|
||||
