IMPORTANT!

Since version 19.1.3-2 this package will not download automatically the source file from the upstream site.

To build this package you will need to manually download the file from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD.

This would reduce the mess in this package, making it more readable and clear. Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.

@dack, that's the problem there is no libgpudetect.so file. I updated from 17.3 to 17.3.2-3, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

@nixit 17.3.2-3 is working fine for me here. Check the file permissions - do you have read and execute permission to /opt/resolve/libs/libgpudetect.so?

Just updated to 17.3.2-3 and am getting an error:

error while loading shared libraries: libgpudetect.so cannot open shared object file. no such file or directory.

any ideas?

It looks like they've updated the zip file and kept the same version number/filename. I'm seeing a different hash than the PKGBUILD. The hash I have is 39258994a9d6a4e36bbb993251d8f6bdd703ea5208fc260ffa1ee8967e5b7b6c.

@dack no it's that the installer doesn't ship the QT wayland plugin, and that the pkgbuild uses the installer instead of just using 7z to extract the contents.

@melvyn2 I'm guessing you might be experiencing a permission issue. As I noted in a earlier comment, for some reason the PKGBUILD changes the owner of the files to the user who built the package. It works fine for me by just removing the owner change stuff. I'm not sure why it's included in the first place. Just remove all of the following:

    echo -e "\033[1m==> Setting the right permissions...\033[0m"

    if [ ! "$(logname 2>&1 >/dev/null)" ]; then
        _user=$(logname)
        _group=$(id -g -n ${_user})
    else
        _user=root
        _group=root
    fi

    chown -R ${_user}:${_group} "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}/"{*,.*}
    chown -R ${_user}:root "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}/"{configs,DolbyVision,easyDCP,Fairlight,logs,Media,'Resolve Disk Database',.crashreport,.license,.LUT}

    echo -e "\033[1m==> Done!\033[0m"

Fixed it by not using the stupid bundled installer AGAIN, patch below:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "wayland".

Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, minimal, offscreen, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

This used to work fine on wayland, what changed now?

The Davinci Resolve Speed Editor panel does not work unless an additional udev rule file is created with the contents

KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1edb", TAG+="uaccess"

This needs to be put in a file that comes before /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/73-seat-late.rules.

Can we get this added to the PKGBUILD? Otherwise, the Speed Editor (and likely other panels) will not work out of the box.

After the update, progl now dumps core:
