- Replace eval with getent passwd to prevent command injection - Use dpkg -s for precise FUSE package detection - Add set -o pipefail - Fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH trailing colon - Use cp -a instead of mv glob for AppImage extraction - Add error checks in fallback path - Use chmod u+rwX,go+rX instead of 774 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# DaVinci Resolve - Pop!_OS
|
|
|
|
Install [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) on Pop!_OS 24.04 with automatic dependency installation and library conflict resolution.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- **OS**: Pop!_OS 24.04
|
|
- **DaVinci Resolve ZIP**: Downloaded from [blackmagicdesign.com](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) to `~/Downloads/`
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
1. **Download DaVinci Resolve** from [blackmagicdesign.com](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve)
|
|
- Choose **Linux** and download the ZIP file
|
|
- Save to `~/Downloads/`
|
|
|
|
2. **Run the installer**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/28allday/DaVinci-Resolve-PopOS.git
|
|
cd DaVinci-Resolve-PopOS
|
|
chmod +x popDR.sh
|
|
./popDR.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What It Does
|
|
|
|
### 1. Installs FUSE Libraries
|
|
|
|
The Resolve installer needs FUSE to mount itself. If FUSE isn't available, the script falls back to manual extraction.
|
|
|
|
| Package | Purpose |
|
|
|---------|---------|
|
|
| `fuse` | FUSE kernel module and mount tools |
|
|
| `libfuse2` | Userspace library for AppImage support |
|
|
|
|
### 2. Installs Qt5 Libraries
|
|
|
|
Resolve's UI is built with Qt5. Pop!_OS uses GTK (COSMIC/GNOME) so Qt5 may not be present.
|
|
|
|
| Package | Purpose |
|
|
|---------|---------|
|
|
| `qtbase5-dev` + tools | Qt5 core framework |
|
|
| `libqt5core5a`, `libqt5gui5`, `libqt5widgets5` | Qt5 runtime |
|
|
| `libxrender1`, `libxrandr2`, `libxi6` | X11 extensions |
|
|
| `qtwayland5` | Wayland support |
|
|
|
|
### 3. Extracts and Installs Resolve
|
|
|
|
- Finds the ZIP in `~/Downloads/`
|
|
- Tries running the installer with FUSE
|
|
- Falls back to `--appimage-extract` if FUSE doesn't work
|
|
- Installs to `/opt/resolve`
|
|
|
|
### 4. Resolves Library Conflicts
|
|
|
|
| Library | Action | Why |
|
|
|---------|--------|-----|
|
|
| `libgio-2.0.so` | Moved to `not_used/` | Bundled version conflicts with system |
|
|
| `libgmodule-2.0.so` | Moved to `not_used/` | Bundled version conflicts with system |
|
|
| `libglib-2.0.so.0` | Replaced with system copy | Stable C ABI, safe to swap |
|
|
|
|
### 5. Cleans Up
|
|
|
|
Removes temporary extraction files. The application stays at `/opt/resolve`.
|
|
|
|
## Pop!_OS Advantages
|
|
|
|
Pop!_OS is one of the easier distros for Resolve because:
|
|
- The **NVIDIA ISO** comes with proprietary drivers pre-configured
|
|
- Ubuntu-based, so most Resolve dependencies are readily available
|
|
- System76's hardware support means GPU drivers are well-tested
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Resolve won't start
|
|
|
|
- Launch from terminal: `/opt/resolve/bin/resolve`
|
|
- Check GPU drivers: `nvidia-smi` (NVIDIA) or `glxinfo | grep renderer` (AMD)
|
|
|
|
### Qt plugin errors
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms
|
|
/opt/resolve/bin/resolve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### FUSE errors during installation
|
|
|
|
The script handles this automatically with `--appimage-extract` fallback. No action needed.
|
|
|
|
## Updating Resolve
|
|
|
|
Download the new ZIP and run the script again:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./popDR.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Uninstalling
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo rm -rf /opt/resolve
|
|
sudo rm -f /usr/share/applications/DaVinciResolve.desktop
|
|
rm -f ~/.local/share/applications/DaVinciResolve.desktop
|
|
rm -rf ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve
|
|
```
