Can't select GPU on linux

Hi all,

My first post and I am sorry if I am in the wrong section of the forum.

I'm dead keen to get resolve running. My machine specs are in my signature.

I try and load resolve andit fails. I then try and choose the GPU as I see many people do to fix this issue and I have no GPU to select.


and


Searching the forums I can see others are using this same graphics card so I'm wondering if anyone can offer any help or advice?


Thanks so much.

CentOS 7 (and Linux in general) requires a discrete graphics card for all versions.

Please check the minimum requirements in the support page (example for 17.1)

Thank you, yes. Since posting this I've been head down in discreet video card research. Looks like I'll have to lump it and purchase one.

Will resolve work with them with the free version or will I need to purchase to get the full power of the new card?

I'm happy to purchase and plan to if resolve meets my needs (and I can't see why it would not), however it's always handy to test first.

Thanks again.

Since you're on Pop, you may want to check the threads below to see what hardware other Linux users have been running and what it takes for them to get running. You may be able to get more specific answers/recommendations there too.

Thank you, I appreciate your help / time. I'll check those links.

Just for giggles I installed Resolve 17.1 on a Dell Latitude E7270 i7-6600U laptop running Debian 10. Did not expect it to work but using the Intel Beignet OpenCL driver 1.3.2 I can actually run Resolve. GPU out of memory as soon as I create a timeline over 720x576. Imported a BRAW clip. Edit works but playback is very unstable. I managed to occasionally see a frame or two in the viewports among many garbled frames and eventually it crashed. But still interesting...

Thank you for this. I will have a look at the OPENCL driver. I've not heard of them before so I'll give it a whirl. Are there any tips / links RE this CL driver that you might be able to share? Thanks again.

Hello mates,

I am using the following setup:

Memory: 32 GiB
Processor: Intel Core i7-6770HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz x 8
Graphics: Mesa intel iris(R) pro graphics 580 (skl gt4)
Disk: 500 GB
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS 64-bit
GNOME Version: 42.5
Windowing System: Wayland

No matter what I have done so far and I failed to let the code detect and use GPUs. Here is the message I receive:

# Check if CUDA is available
self.device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
print(torch.cuda.is_available())

Do you think I can use the same solution?

Resolve on Linux does not support Intel GPUs.
