Hi @stevebarnes,

I won’t be able to help with the problem. However,

  1. I see you are still usin kerneel version 5.9, which is EOL (End Of Life.) Hence it is recommended that you switch to either 5.4 or 5.10, both of which are LTS (Long Term Support) versions. To do so, open a terminal and runn either,
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux54

for installing kernel 5.4, or

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510

to install kernel version 5.10.

If successful, reboot. While starting up, if the grub boot menu doesn’t show, hold the Shift keey in to bring up the GRUB boot menu.

In the grub boot menu, use the arrow keys to navigate to the “Adanced opyioons…” menu and press → .

Select the newly installed kernel and press Enter to boot.

Once successfully booted, the old kernel must be removed. To do so, open a terminal and run,

sudo  mhwd-kernel -r linux59

If successful, hold your thumbs, cross your heart and reboot.

That should be all. If it works, feel free to heap on praise. If it doesn’t, well, then I’m not here.

davinci-resolve-studio is in the AUR (Arch User Repository), it would be better to install it from there.

I went to the vendor distro because the AUR has repeatedly failed for me and others :slight_smile:
