|
Setup scripts for getting a Rocky Linux 10 workstation ready for video editing with DaVinci Resolve.
|
|
|
|
Three scripts that should be run in order:
|
|
|
|
1. **NVIDIA_rocky.sh** — Install NVIDIA GPU drivers
|
|
2. **fonts.sh** — Install Microsoft core fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, etc.)
|
|
3. **rocky_resolve.sh** — Install DaVinci Resolve
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- **OS**: Rocky Linux 10
|
|
- **GPU**: NVIDIA (RTX 2000-series or newer for open kernel driver)
|
|
- **DaVinci Resolve ZIP**: Downloaded from [blackmagicdesign.com](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve) to `~/Downloads/`
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/28allday/Rocky-Linux-Setup.git
|
|
cd Rocky-Linux-Setup
|
|
|
|
# Step 1: Install NVIDIA drivers
|
|
sudo ./NVIDIA_rocky.sh
|
|
sudo reboot
|
|
|
|
# Step 2: Install fonts (after reboot)
|
|
sudo ./fonts.sh
|
|
|
|
# Step 3: Install DaVinci Resolve
|
|
sudo ./rocky_resolve.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Scripts
|
|
|
|
### NVIDIA_rocky.sh — NVIDIA Driver Installation
|
|
|
|
Installs NVIDIA's open-source kernel driver via DKMS (auto-rebuilds on kernel updates).
|
|
|
|
**What it does:**
|
|
|
|
| Step | Action |
|
|
|------|--------|
|
|
| 1 | Enables CRB (CodeReady Builder) repository |
|
|
| 2 | Enables EPEL repository |
|
|
| 3 | Installs kernel headers and DKMS build tools |
|
|
| 4 | Adds NVIDIA's official RHEL10 repository |
|
|
| 5 | Installs `nvidia-driver`, `kmod-nvidia-open-dkms`, `nvidia-settings` |
|
|
| 6 | Checks Secure Boot status and advises on MOK enrollment |
|
|
|
|
**After running:** Reboot, then verify with `nvidia-smi`.
|
|
|
|
**Secure Boot:** If enabled, you'll need to enroll the DKMS signing key:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo mokutil --import /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub
|
|
# Set a one-time password, then confirm on the next boot screen
|
|
sudo reboot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### fonts.sh — Microsoft Core Fonts
|
|
|
|
Installs Microsoft TrueType core fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New, Verdana, etc.).
|
|
|
|
**What it does:**
|
|
|
|
| Step | Action |
|
|
|------|--------|
|
|
| 1 | Installs build tools (`rpm-build`, `cabextract`, `wget`) |
|
|
| 2 | Downloads the font RPM spec from SourceForge |
|
|
| 3 | Builds the font RPM locally with `rpmbuild` |
|
|
| 4 | Installs the built RPM |
|
|
| 5 | Updates the system font cache |
|
|
|
|
**Why:** DaVinci Resolve and many documents expect these fonts. Without them, text renders with wrong fonts or missing characters.
|
|
|
|
### rocky_resolve.sh — DaVinci Resolve
|
|
|
|
Installs DaVinci Resolve from the official ZIP download.
|
|
|
|
**What it does:**
|
|
|
|
| Step | Action |
|
|
|------|--------|
|
|
| 1 | Installs runtime dependencies (OpenGL, X11 libs, libxcrypt-compat) |
|
|
| 2 | Detects zlib-ng-compat and sets SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK if needed |
|
|
| 3 | Finds and extracts the Resolve ZIP from `~/Downloads/` |
|
|
| 4 | Runs Blackmagic's installer |
|
|
| 5 | Moves conflicting GLib/Pango libraries to a backup directory |
|
|
| 6 | Symlinks libcrypt.so.1 into Resolve's lib directory |
|
|
| 7 | Creates user data directories with correct ownership |
|
|
| 8 | Verifies critical libraries are loadable |
|
|
|
|
**Rocky 10 specific fix:** Rocky 10 replaced the `zlib` package with `zlib-ng-compat`. The library (`libz.so.1`) is identical, but Resolve's installer checks for the RPM name "zlib" and fails. The script detects this and bypasses the check.
|
|
|
|
**Launch Resolve** as your normal user (not root):
|
|
```bash
|
|
/opt/resolve/bin/resolve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### NVIDIA driver not loading after reboot
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check if module is loaded
|
|
lsmod | grep nvidia
|
|
|
|
# Check for Nouveau conflicts
|
|
lsmod | grep nouveau
|
|
|
|
# Disable Nouveau if conflicting
|
|
sudo grubby --args="nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau" --update-kernel=ALL
|
|
sudo reboot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### DaVinci Resolve crashes on launch
|
|
|
|
- Check logs: `~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/logs/`
|
|
- Verify NVIDIA driver: `nvidia-smi`
|
|
- Verify libraries: `ldconfig -p | grep libGLU`
|
|
- Try launching from terminal for error output: `/opt/resolve/bin/resolve`
|
|
|
|
### Font RPM build fails
|
|
|
|
- Check you have internet access (fonts are downloaded from Microsoft servers)
|
|
- Make sure `cabextract` installed: `rpm -q cabextract`
|
|
- Check rpmbuild output for specific download failures
|
|
|
|
### "zlib not found" during Resolve install
|
|
|
|
This is the zlib-ng-compat issue. The script handles it automatically, but if running the installer manually:
|
|
```bash
|
|
SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_*.run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Uninstalling
|
|
|
|
### NVIDIA Driver
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf remove nvidia-driver kmod-nvidia-open-dkms nvidia-settings
|
|
sudo reboot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### DaVinci Resolve
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo rm -rf /opt/resolve
|
|
sudo rm -f /usr/share/applications/DaVinciResolve.desktop
|
|
rm -rf ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve
|
|
rm -rf ~/.config/Blackmagic\ Design
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Microsoft Fonts
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo rpm -e msttcorefonts
|
|
sudo fc-cache -fv
|
|
```
