Davinci Resolve will not open (and I don't understand GPU drivers)

Support Third-party Applications

I suspect a reason DaVinci will not start is that it expects certain qt5 support that may or may not exist in Manjaro by default.

Simply downloading and installing DaVinci from the official DaVinci site might not account for this.

Building DaVinci from the AUR does.

To test whether this theory is in fact accurate I’m currently building DaVinci from the AUR, in a Virtual Machine.

  • Note that I opted to use the default intel-compute-runtime and jdk-openjdk when prompted.

I’ll report back in a few; but before I do…

Please edit your post (above) and apply the required formatting for command output; as indicated with the :eyes: emoji below.

Hi @Stoss and welcome to the Manjaro community.

As a new forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit.

To that end, some or all these links may be invaluable:

Last, but not least, the Update Announcements, which you should check frequently for important update related information.

An issue may be directly related to a particular update; these announcements should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers.

Edit:-

DaVinci Resolve built from the AUR installed as expected. Some Qt5 related dependencies were included in the process. I’m not convinced that Qt5 support is related to your issue.

DaVinci starts as expected; though it does show a warning during startup likely as a result of my inattention to the runtime selections before the build commenced.

The dialog allows to open Preferences directly to make changes.

The changes to make would more likely be found in DaVinci documentation, or by contacting DaVinci support.

If you are seeing the same warning then the problem is with your DaVinci configuration and/or choices during DaVinci Install.

Cheers.
