DaVinci Resolve will not Launch on Linux

Hello,

If anyone has had trouble in the last few weeks getting DaVinci Resolve to open, it might be because the Linux version is shipped with ~9 dead libraries. This is identical behavior from both Public 18.6 and the Beta 19. These libraries cause the program to hang before ultimately giving up and showing no indication of what is happening, no crash message, no error message, not even a flash on screen (outside of a loading cursor). If you remove those 9 libraries Resolve will launch and work like normal.

Those Libraries are located in /opt/resolve/libs:
- libgio-2.0.so
- libgio-2.0.so.0
- libgio-2.0.so.0.6800.4
- libglib-2.0.so
- libglib-2.0.so.0
- libglib-2.0.so.0.6800.4
- libgmodule-2.0.so
- libgmodule-2.0.so.0
- libgmodule-2.0.so.0.6800.4

You can run the below code to fix the issue, or do it manually in a File Manager.

Code: Select all

cd /opt/resolve/libs &&
sudo rm -rf libgio-2.0.so libgio-2.0.so.0 libgio-2.0.so.0.6800.4 libglib-2.0.so libglib-2.0.so.0 libglib-2.0.so.0.6800.4 libgmodule-2.0.so libgmodule-2.0.so.0 libgmodule-2.0.so.0.6800.4


If possible, could we please have this fixed before the full release of 19?

Hi @RileyMeta

This helped me today on OpenMandriva, I also added it to my script and mentiond you in the update notes which can be found at the link below.

Thank you for the work you did to track this.

I had the same issue in Fedora 41, running the (at the time) latest DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1.4 and it refused to open without going into this listed directory and removing these old libs

Using 6.14.4-arch1-1 with Davinci Resolve Public Beta 2, was having similar problems and the solution you suggested worked for me. Cheers
