Linux Resolve 14.3 Postgres Issue

Hi all,

I'm experience a big issues with Linux Davinci 14.3, among many random crashes there is a very important one, when I try to connect to my remote Postgres DB, resolve crashes immediately: no logs, no dumps, even with strace command, issued via CLI, I cannot get any valuable information.
It just crashes and the GUI goes off.

PS: The same database works fine with all my Resolve 14.3 (mac and win) facility workstations.

Anyone experienced the same problem?

Suggestions?

Thank you,
Daniele

How was the PostgreSQL server created? From a Resolve installer?

If not, if the server is not setup to use SSL, that will cause an instant crash when a Linux Resolve attempts to connect, but works OK for Mac and Windows.

If you run the Resolve Help menu Create Diagnostics Log on Desktop after restarting Resolve, and provide a link to that log, it would help to determine if this is the issue.

Hi Dwaine,
thank you for your answer.

Indeed the Postgres SQL server was not installed by a native Resolve installer, it's a Turnkey container, running Postgres and it works perfectly for Windows and mac. I didn't investigate about SSL, I'll do it and I'll report as soon as I can touch the setup (actually rendering..). The same for the log.

Write you soon,
Thx.

Hi Dwaine,

I checked the setups, it seems that the database is encrypted with SSL, and openssl is properly installed on my Linux.
I prepared the log dump you required, here's the link:

Moreover, if you can take a look, I often have strange crashes, without any warnings, Resolve becomes unresposive..ie: you can move your mouse around the GUI but nothing works.
I didn't figure out what problem could be, yet.

Thank you for your support.

OK, my bad on the PostgreSQL thing.

It's actually the opposite of what I said.

In the postgresql.conf file, you want:

ssl = off

You'll need to restart PostgreSQL after you mod the file.

Please try that and see if that fixes the issue.

Hi Dwaine,

I agree, Linux DaVinci Resolve crashes immediately (vers. 14.3), if the PostgresSql server has SSL set to 'true' in the postgresql.conf file. (located normally in /etc/postgresql/<version number>/main directory).

Having set that to false (and restarting the server) I have perfect compatibility with Linux, Mac and Windows, without any crash.

problem fixed, thank you.

Maybe it would be useful to highlight this issue to DavInci developers, I guess they could simply detect the error and let a dialogue message come out, displaying the interesting hints we found..
