I will give all this a shot! I really want v14, though... so i will probably uninstall the Resolve i currently have, and replace it. or should i just overwrite v12.5.6?
thank you!
You're most welcome.
But before you say thank you, let's make Resolve 14 work first.
The thing that it needs is to detect Cuda or OpenCL. And when Resolve sees you have nVidia, it will rush to detect Cuda. And the initial driver simply doesn't carry with it what's required. So, I recommend doing something a bit... backward.
Step 1:
Head to
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloadsand download the Cuda Toolkit for CentOS. It's a huge file, so it will take a bit of time. The reason I am recommending this first is because it has an nVidia driver in it, though older than what the version of the Long Term one. So, if you first install the driver and then the Toolkit, you'll get a downgrade that will generate a few glitches - that you don't want.
So, download and install it.
Step 2:
Head over to ELRepo here:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.phpAnd add the repository as it recommends.
Then run:
- Code: Select all
sudo yum install nvidia-detect
But before you install what it says, run:
- Code: Select all
sudo yum install dkms
(press TAB at the end of the command if the installation says "no package")
As it's the module builder for the kernel.
Then run
- Code: Select all
nvidia-detect
Then execute:
- Code: Select all
sudo yum install <<Driver nvidia-detect recommends>>
The driver should be the version 375.66.
Just to be on the safe side, do a search for any other components by using:
- Code: Select all
yum search nvidia
This will show you everything that the repositories have with nVidia. Everything that has the 375.66 / or the x86_64, you can install with the "sudo yum install" command.
Then reboot and go to...
Step 3:
On the boot page, press "E", go to the line that starts with "Linux" and insert the "rdblacklist=nouveau" after the "quiet splash" declaration.
This combo should allow you to run Resolve normally. As long as you installed the libpng12-devel & zlib-devel packages (with the usual "sudo yum install <<name of package>>". If it says that packages are not found, just double-tap TAB key and yum will either fill in the rest of the package name or show you the different options/versions available.
And last but not least, Resolve 12.5 will fully replace the v14 files and vice versa.
Sorry I can't put in the actual codes for the installation packages, as I'm currently on my Fedora laptop and there are a few differences here from the oldie CentOS.
However, once everything is installed and runs normally (which it should), consider upgrading your Kernel as it will significantly boost your speed. Both graphics card & SSD (if you have it).
But that is a whole different can of worms. First, let's get R14 loaded and running.
