Been fighting this bug for a while now, but since I updated rocm to 7.2 DaVinci resolve died.

Took me a while to track down that it was rocm until I ran across an endeavour os post about it. But if you’ve noticed that resolve stopped loading and not showing errors, Try downgrading rocm and trying again.

If you need to downgrade your amdgpu-install package, AMD's repo link is here https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/

huh, weird. I'll check in with that and see what's going on.

Looks like they copies 7.2 folder when the updated to 7.2.1. Only REHL and another distro has March files, the rest are dated Jan.

Found the driver, amdgpu-install_7.2.1.70201-1_all.deb.

Downloaded and installed. And while it doesn't immediately crash, it's still crashing before the main page loads. Just after the fairlight page. Will see if there is any Davinci updates and report back

Just finished installing DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_20.3.2_Linux.

With amdgpu-install_7.2.1.70201-1_all.deb the app does start and the splash screen shows. But the app crashes before the main menu appears. I presume there's still issues in the OpenCL implementation. Not sure if it's a Davinci issue or a Driver issue. Old driver still works.

Updating the issue myself, but yeah let me know if you want me to check anything else.

Thank you for checking in with this. Strangely it seems to work fine for other people using different distros. Will follow up internally.

I am also running an edge case with an iGPU and a Laptop. Let me know if you want me to run or try anything else.

Harry (from the github thread) hasn't been able to repro on Ubuntu so far

I'm curious if you've been using --usecase=graphics on install?

More info here: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon-ryzen/en/latest/docs/install/installrad/native_linux/install-radeon.html#install-amd-unified-kernel-mode-gpu-driver-rocm-and-graphics

No, I've been using "sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl" Since Mesa has been working for OpenGL. Let me try and see if it works

[-] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

OK, I've tried it. A amdgpu-uninstall, and a purge of amdgpu-install. With a re-install of "amdgpu-install_7.2.1.70201-1_all.deb" followed by amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics and it's loads. But with no OpenCL davinci is confused with GPU and refuses to launch.

I then run my prior command to install OpenCL, and it still crashes on boot. Is there a log I can share.

Also I am on Linux Mint (I know it's Ubuntu), but I am hopeful there aren't much different between the two version.

appreciate the info, will pass this on

[-] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

I uploaded a quick video about the issue for Github. Passing it along to you as well :)

appreciate you 😊

NP, I know what I am doing is an edge case, so I’d love to help get it fixed if possible.

Just let me know what I need to do and I’ll test it.

Also if you need footage or screenshots I can also provide that too if it makes it easier to triage.
