Unsupported GPU Processing Mode-Linux

When I attempt to open DaVinci Resolve 18 I get an Unsupported GPU Processing Mode message. Next when I attempt to update the configuration DaVinci does not show any GPU for my computer. I am running Linux Mint 21 on a newly purchased Vipr Tech gaming computer. Am I correct in assuming that I need to update my GPU driver in order for DaVinci Resolve to work? If so which driver? Will it work with the Linux OS I have on my computer? Attached is a jpg image of my computer specs.

Thank you for your assistance.

What is the exact model of the GPU in that system?

It doesn't say exactly what GPU you have, but you will need one that is supported by the amdgpu-pro binary drivers rather than the amdgpu open-source ones. You'll also need to make sure you have the correct opencl libraries installed.

It's a lot less hassle to use NVidia.

Open the side panel and make sure you actually have a GPU.

That screenshot looks like you only have integrate graphics, which is not supported by Resolve in Linux.

My GPU is a Gigabyte AB350M-Gaming 3 and my Processor is an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Raedon Graphics.

That's not the GPU, that's your motherboard model number.

It looks like you don't have an NVIDIA or AMD GPU then, and that means Resolve is not going to work on that system as it sits.

The good news is, you can add an NVIDIA or AMD GPU to that motherboard, and then it could work.

If you want to pursue that, an NVIDIA GPU is generally easier to configure for Resolve on a Linux system, than an AMD GPU.

I have the same issue after just now upgrading from DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 to 18.1.4. I'm running Ubuntu 23.04 with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 2060 GPU. There is no option to choose a GPU in the UI.

In the Applications menu, you should see an app called DaVinci Resolve Capture Logs. It will have a gear icon. Run that and provide the file it creates on your desktop.

Good afternoon all:
I am trying to test Davinci Resolve Software on my Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

I am using an ASUS:
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Zenbook UP6502ZD_Q539ZD
Processor:
12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H × 20
Graphics:
Mesa Intel® Graphics (ADL GT2)

I followed all installations steps, upgraded libraries and still having the same issue since I installed the software.
The message is showing Unsupported GPU Processing Mode.

Reading some POSTS here is saying that I have to open Davinci Resolve Capture Logs. I can see the application in my aaplications but is not open it.
Also, once I open the software Davinci Resolve the window showing the message Unsupported GPU Processing Mode has 2 buttons. One says quit and the other button says update configuration.
Once I open update configuration inside Memory and GPU Configuration is not showing any GPU.

I will appreciate any assistance on this matter.

Thank you, Rafael.

This is an integrated GPU. Resolve on Linux requires a discrete GPU.

Buy a different laptop or run windows.

Thank you for your prompt answer.

I've run into similar issue. This is a desktop machine running up to date Manjaro using an NVidia GeForce 3090 Ti video card. Using current, and update to date, 6.1 kernel and nvidia driver v.535.113.01

When Resolve starts I run into the "Unsupported GPU Processing Mode" error. I select "Update Configuration", but under "Memory and GPU" it doesn't seem to see my video card. This is the only video card in the system, and the nVidia drivers are the only video drivers installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Here's the info from the bottom of the output.txt file from your own Capture Logs application:

Hi. I am in the same boat as others. I had resolve working on this computer for years when running Ubuntu Studio 20.04 and 22.04. I am now running MXLinux MX21. I think it only sees device 1 (intel) and not device 2(nvidia).

But the resolve 18.6 studio doesn't show anything at all to select. No CUDA and no OPEN_GL.

Within the attachment, I have added my sysinfo. Hope it helps.

@canezila You're on a laptop right ? Did you run with prime-run or whatever equivalent to make sure the dGPU is used ?

Hi. Yes, it is a laptop. and No, That is exactly what I need to find. I am missing that. I had that option before and I need to find out how to select that.

@canezila You're on a laptop right ? Did you run with prime-run or whatever equivalent to make sure the dGPU is used ?

I went to here: https://wiki.debian.org/NVIDIA%20Optimu ... rimary_GPU
and followed the steps. Thought that was it but not there yet.

[Solved]!!!!!
I did the steps in: https://www.danieltufvesson.com/makeresolvedeb

Might have been some or all of the steps within. Glorious!

I seem to getting issues saying that there is Unsupported GPU Processing Mode, but both GPUs seem fairly responsive.

This is also my log file:

So at that time it was properly detecting the OS and the GPU. But something on the system changed shortly after that time, and the OS and GPU were no longer detected in all the subsequent logs.

Any idea what you might have changed on the system between 02:02 and 02:09?

I'm seeing this too. We're all running unsupported OS revisions here. I've got an ancient Ubutu 20.04 I keep running because it and Resolve 17.2 keep working and later versions don't.

I'm running a VEGA card, so that explains a whole lot. But I also have an NVIDIA RTX 3060 running headless and I'd hoped Resolve 18.6 could use that for compute and the VEGA card just to display. That has not worked out well at all. So I'm back to 17.2 which does actually work.

Kindof considering running the supported CENTOS release in a virtual container and passing through the RTX card. Could even run Windows there, I guess.

Resolve is now a must have for clients so I'm considering such radical options as Windows. lol

So after running into the issue with libpango, and having to get rid of a bunch of the shipped libraries:

Code: Select all

libgio-2.0.so* libglib-2.0.so* libgmodule-2.0.so* libgobject-2.0.so*

... I ended up with the same "Unsupported GPU Processing Mode" -dialog, and the settings not showing any options. I have a perfectly fine Nvidia GPU that I know to work with Davinci Resolve, so looked more like a software side issue again.

Turns out as typical, software on Linux is really bad at explaining what is wrong. I had to install "opencl-nvidia" package from my package manager. If you're not using Arch, it's possibly called something else but likely with a combination of "opencl" and "nvidia" in the name.
