Hello everyone, new to the forum and not a colorist or editor, just DOP, and absolutely happy for the long waited release of Resolve Lite for Linux. Just performed a quick installation and test on
UBUNTU Mate 16.04.2 LTS.
Hardware:
- Intel i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz × 8
- RAM 16 GB DDR3
- GPU nVidia GTX 650 2GB
- operative system on SSD, /home on internal HDD, scratch volume: external HDD 3TB formatted exFat
I added the dependencies just as Kuntal wrote (thx), and I'm repeating here the code because it's far up the thread.
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.10
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libssl.so.10
I had some warnings when launching Resolve, about the CUDA support missing on my GPU (which was false of course). Beside this, Resolve crashed when trying to open a video file in the Media window.
I switched from the nVidia driver 340.101 to the recommended 367.57 via the Control Center > Hardware > additional drivers, after checking also via terminal with the code:
- Code: Select all
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00000FC6sv000019DAsd00004294bc03sc00i00
model : GK107 [GeForce GTX 650]
driver : nvidia-367 - distro non-free recommended
driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
driver : nvidia-304 - distro non-free
driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free
== cpu-microcode.py ==
driver : intel-microcode - distro non-free
seeing what's the recommended driver, and using this one from repository and not downloading the newest from nVidia, which is deprecated for Ubuntu (issues at boot when upgrading the kernel, I think).
After that Resolve started normally and I had no more warning and crashes. The program runs incredibly fast and the RT rendering is amazing. I imported some ProRes 422 HQ 10bit footage (just HD) and made a short test from editing 4 clips to color grading and deliver.
I had 3 issues with:
- Audio, exactly how noticed by others here, I got Pulse Audio and no way to listen to the output in Resolve even while changing to internal and trying different configurations. The meters work properly and Resolve detects the Audio but I found no way to listen to it inside Resolve. Exported clips had audio absolutely normal.
- a weird thing: no image in the viewer into the Color room. After many attempts, i got the viewer working, by changing the project setting from 10bit to 8bit.
- when reopening the project a 2nd and 3rd time, I had some timeline clips changed (3 on 4, at the end), and visualized with a weird kind of false blue/pink color. I couldn't recover from this, and the export suffers the same problem. I have no clue and if someone has an idea about that, please help. I'm attaching a couple of screenshot.
In the end: I think it's a great step for BMD and Linux users. Of course there are issues at the beginning. I hope that BMD and the users could help to fix them. Thx for any help.
