Installation of Resolve and PostgreSQL

I have a stand-alone HP Laptop with a new Intel Skylake I7 amd 16G of RAM that I have installed the free version of Resolve and PostgreSQL on. Everything went as planned. But on the intended workstation (part of a MS 2016 Server Network) is a Dell Optiplex with a Intel I7 2600 (3.4G Hz), 26G RAM, where the PostgreSQL database produces a error message saying the password does not meet the length or complexity requirements and refuses to install (but the remaining parts of Resolve do install just fine).

I have increased both the length and complexity of the network login password but that did nothing to solve the problem so must assume that it has something to do directly with the Resolve software being a Beta version. Can anone shed any light on this? The problem is that without a database installed, the program will not run. When I try to open a project, I assume the program looks for the hooks into the database (which are not there) and the whole program crashes

I assume your Windows workstation is connected to a Windows Domain server.

The security policy of a domain server does not except the password of DaVinci, which is what the Resolve installer uses when it installs PostgreSQL. This causes the PostgreSQL installer to fail.

However, not having PostgreSQL installed should have no effect on running Resolve. By default, a new Resolve install uses a Disk database, not a PostgreSQL database.

So I suspect you have a different issue as to why Resolve is not running. Logs would be helpful.

In a File Explorer window, go to: C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve and run CaptureLogs. Post a link to the log file here.

I have the log file up on my dropbox account and have created a link that I was going to post here. But I keep getting a message when try to submit that I am not authorized to post URL's. Yes, the link is aweb link, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do at this point?

I've had the same issue several weeks ago. I had to log out of the Windows domain account, log in as local administrator and install from there. That way I could not be subject to the strict domain user name/password complexity rule.

Post the url with gaps, eg
Http ://www. dropbox. com

I guess we'll try it this way.

You'll have to take out the cully cuws and the brackets (that's my latest tricks)

Your log reports that the GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce 210. That GPU does not support Resolve.

Resolve requires NVIDIA GPU's with CUDA Compute level 3 or higher support.

The 210 has 1.2 support.

Well, that's not a big surprise. That board was a older graphics pcb that came with this machine and didn't support the new Dell 4K monitor that I bought a few months ago. Just yesterday, I got a MSI geofource 710 that does 4K by 2K and Resolve runs very nicely.

Can you educate me a little and point me to a tutorial on disolves (between on scene and another). I know how they are supposed to work but don't know how to do them.

Thanks the beginners help.

I recommend Google. Here's a nice one:

Could you tell me please what to do?
Thanks.

Just a note to all who follow: this thread is NOT for Resolve crashing situations. This thread is related issues with installing PostgreSQL on a Windows system.

@Damdinsuren: I'm assuming based on the little info you sent, that you have an issue with Resolve crashing on Windows. Please start a new thread, and put the following info in it:

In a File Explorer window, go to:

C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve

and run CaptureLogs

This will place a Resolve log file named similar to this on your Windows desktop: DaVinci-Resolve-logs-20181228_140434.zip (You may not see the .zip extension if your system is set to hide known extensions).


Then open Windows System Information and do a File - Save (Not a File Export), which will generate a .NFO file.

Place both those files on a file sharing site and provide links to the files here.

I current am using a Windows 10 Pro PC workstation with a disk database for Resolve. I want to set up another PC with Linux and Postgres as a database server on a local LAN to share the database with other computers that has Resolve installed so I can share projects. Is this possible and how can it be accomplished?

[Dwaine Maggart]

Yes. Details are in the Managing Databases and Project Servers chapter of the Resolve manual.
