|
Install [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) on openSUSE Tumbleweed with all the compatibility fixes needed for this rolling-release distro.
|
|
|
|
Handles gdk-pixbuf ABI mismatches, GLib conflicts, OpenCL setup, libtiff shims, and XWayland wrapper creation — so Resolve just works.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- **OS**: openSUSE Tumbleweed
|
|
- **GPU**: NVIDIA with proprietary drivers installed
|
|
- **DaVinci Resolve**: ZIP or .run file downloaded to `~/Downloads/`
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
1. **Download DaVinci Resolve** from [blackmagicdesign.com](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) — save to `~/Downloads/`
|
|
|
|
2. **Run the installer**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/28allday/DaVinci-Resolve-openSUSE-Tumbleweed.git
|
|
cd DaVinci-Resolve-openSUSE-Tumbleweed
|
|
chmod +x install-resolve-tw.sh
|
|
sudo ./install-resolve-tw.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Launch Resolve**: `resolve`
|
|
|
|
You can also pass the file path directly:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ./install-resolve-tw.sh /path/to/DaVinci_Resolve_Linux.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What It Does
|
|
|
|
### 1. Installs Dependencies
|
|
|
|
| Package | Purpose |
|
|
|---------|---------|
|
|
| `libOpenCL1` | GPU-accelerated processing (effects, colour grading) |
|
|
| `libjpeg62` | JPEG image support (older ABI that Resolve needs) |
|
|
| `libX11-xcb1` + `xcb-*` | X11/XCB protocol libraries for display |
|
|
| `libglib/gio/gmodule/gthread` | GLib stack (system versions) |
|
|
| `libapr1-0`, `libapr-util1-0` | Apache Portable Runtime (Resolve's DB engine) |
|
|
| `xwayland` | X11 compatibility layer for Wayland desktops |
|
|
|
|
### 2. Runs Blackmagic's Installer
|
|
|
|
- Tries running as the current user first
|
|
- Falls back to sudo with X11 display passthrough if needed
|
|
- Bypasses distro check (`SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1`)
|
|
- Forces X11 mode (`QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb`)
|
|
|
|
### 3. Applies Tumbleweed-Specific Fixes
|
|
|
|
| Fix | Why |
|
|
|-----|-----|
|
|
| **Fedora gdk-pixbuf2** | Tumbleweed's version is too new for Resolve's Qt — fetches a compatible one from Fedora archives |
|
|
| **System GLib** | Replaces bundled GLib with system version (stable C ABI, safe to swap) |
|
|
| **OpenCL symlink** | Links system libOpenCL.so.1 into Resolve's lib directory |
|
|
| **libtiff5 shim** | Tumbleweed ships libtiff.so.6, Resolve wants .so.5 — symlink bridges the gap |
|
|
|
|
### 4. Creates XWayland Wrapper
|
|
|
|
Resolve doesn't support native Wayland. The wrapper at `/usr/local/bin/resolve` forces X11 mode and sets up the correct library paths and NVIDIA environment variables.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Patches Desktop Entries
|
|
|
|
Updates `.desktop` files so launching from the app menu uses the wrapper with all the correct environment settings.
|
|
|
|
## Debug Mode
|
|
|
|
For verbose output showing every command:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo DEBUG=1 ./install-resolve-tw.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Resolve crashes on launch
|
|
|
|
- Launch from terminal to see errors: `resolve`
|
|
- Check NVIDIA driver: `nvidia-smi`
|
|
- Verify gdk-pixbuf was installed: `ls /opt/resolve/libs/libgdk_pixbuf*`
|
|
|
|
### Installer GUI doesn't appear
|
|
|
|
- Make sure X11/XWayland is running: `echo $DISPLAY`
|
|
- The script automatically handles xhost for sudo — if it still fails, try:
|
|
```bash
|
|
xhost +SI:localuser:root
|
|
sudo ./install-resolve-tw.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### OpenCL errors / GPU not detected
|
|
|
|
- Check OpenCL is available: `ls /opt/resolve/libs/libOpenCL.so.1`
|
|
- Verify NVIDIA OpenCL: `zypper in nvidia-compute-utils && clinfo`
|
|
|
|
### "libtiff.so.5 not found"
|
|
|
|
The script creates a shim automatically. If it's still missing:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.6 /opt/resolve/libs/libtiff.so.5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Updating Resolve
|
|
|
|
Download the new ZIP and run the script again:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo ./install-resolve-tw.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Uninstalling
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Remove application
|
|
sudo rm -rf /opt/resolve
|
|
|
|
# Remove wrapper
|
|
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/resolve
|
|
|
|
# Remove desktop entries
|
|
rm -f ~/.local/share/applications/davinci-resolve.desktop
|
|
rm -f ~/.local/share/applications/com.blackmagicdesign.resolve.desktop
|
|
sudo rm -f /usr/share/applications/davinci-resolve.desktop
|
|
|
|
# Remove user data (WARNING: deletes all projects)
|
|
rm -rf ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve
|
|
rm -rf ~/.config/Blackmagic\ Design
|
|
```
