I know this is necro-posting. NTL I don't think some of the questions were fully answered.

It won't run. When I click on the icon it pulses for about 10 sec and then stops pulsing but nothing else happens.
The best way to see if anything meaningful (with 12.5 or 14) is happening is to open a terminal window (right click in empty desktop space) and type
- Code: Select all
/opt/resolve/bin/resolve <ENTER>
You'll see at least some signs of what's happening.
The command nvidia-settings produces a small gui called NVIDIA X Server Settings plus in the terminal it gives an error:
"nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file blah blah blah"
Two questions:
1) Do I have the right nvidia driver installed? If not where can I get it.
Follow
this article for a very good how-to. Ignore the Anonymous/Guy Fawks mask ad - it's safe (no malware) and you don't need it.
The current driver rev. is 384.90 - replace
nvidia-370 with
nvidia-384.
2) Why would my attempt to become a super user not work? (I type su and press enter then it asks for but does not accept my password).
Cheers, Bill
This was discussed earlier but use
- Code: Select all
sudo -i
to stay in superuser (su) mode.
Also as discussed earlier
do not stay su any longer than necessary.
As su you can wipe your HDD's without hope of recovery.
Finally, after many tries with installing and using 12.5.6 and trying to use 14.0.1, here are some points to consider.
1) start with a clean OS install. I know, this means wiping all other updates, mods, settings, etc. but I'm finding that too many "improvements" work against success.
2) Install your video driver updates
first. And reboot to ensure any changes are in effect.
3. There are some useful items on the web. Google is your friend. But remember that just because it's on the Internet doesn't make it useful. But you know that, right?
4. Save the links to stuff that works - on another machine, laptop, etc., so you can read them while on a fresh install (item 1 above).
5. Expect to redo things. A lot.
6. Until you have your flavor of Resolve running reliably, don't make any plans for having a life. This isn't a quick process.
Having stumbled upon the truth, he continued on as if nothing had happened.

The Gain it's not correct. See capture.
