Arch Linux User Repository

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.

Issues and bugs, please report on the official forum here: https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewforum.php?f=21&sid=239f0d5c49abe5d6a635b69638192e9a Thank you!

Visit DaVinci Resolve - ArchWiki before installing: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve

ATTENTION: Please don't flag this package as out-of-date before beta version has been released as stable!

This is a current stable Package!

The current free beta is available here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve-beta/

And for current studio beta here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve-studio-beta/

Thanks.

Needed to rollback to kernel 6.5.9 (from 6.6.3) in order for davinci to start, otherwise I'd get the tbb error (exact same error readout as the one on the DVR archwiki page)

Hi.

Please consider merging theses 2 patches for .desktop icons integration (As do the original installer)

1- Reactivate install in PKGBUILD (desactivated beacause obsolete)

OBSOLETE SINCE 14/11/2023 - New version 18.6.3

Here is the patch. Still an issue with all the .desktop files. Missing Category variable.

After upgrading to Linux kernel 6.6.1 (linux-6.6.1.arch1), resolve failed to launch with AMD 6950XT GPU. Downgrading to 6.5.9 works great.

Is there a reason for not adding LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so as default to the .desktop file?

Currently getting:

Has anyone seen this?

Version 18.6.2 failed saying it could not find the run file. I realized this is because on line 25 _archive_run_name is set to only have the major version, but the run file has the full 18.6.2 in the file name.

Changing major_version to pkgver on line 25 fixed this problem.

This is for Davinci free. I cannot speak for Studio as I did not try to download that.

Doesn't work, gives

Version mismatch :: (1/1) Parsing SRCINFO: davinci-resolve Version mismatch -> error making: davinci-resolve-cannot find package name: [Version mismatch] -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: davinci-resolve - cannot find package name: [Version mismatch]

and doesn't install

Thank's @matbonn! Works for me too. Even in 18.6.2.

For others struggling to install the free version of 18.6.2, if you follow this steps:

Edit PKGBUILD changing this lines:

minor_version=0 to minor_version=2
