Installation of Davinci Resolve results in Segmentation Fault

Framework Laptop 16 Linux
1

Hi!

I’ve been trying to get Davinci Resolve 19 running on my Framework 16 for many months now. The unofficial flatpak (GitHub - pobthebuilder/resolve-flatpak: Flatpak packaging for Blackmagicdesign DaVinci Resolve) version had some issues (like not playing media at all) so I’ll skip this one for now.
I would like to get Resolve working without any sandboxing. DavinciHelper (GitHub - H3rz3n/davinci-helper: The best DaVinci Resolve companion app on Linux) applies some patches and installs the neccessary drivers but resolve only starts when run via sudo or as root. If I try to run the software without special permissions, it results in a segmentation fault (see below). For context, I installed Resolve 19 using the normal installation process via DavinciHelper as well as manually. How can I, as a first step, get resolve to start at all without special permissions?

OS: Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition)
Kernel: Linux 6.12.11-200.fc41.x86_64
Framework: Framework Laptop 16 AMD Ryzen 7040 Series with AMD Radeon RX 7700S

The error that occurs when trying to start resolve:

ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= c005, Mode= 13, Level=  1, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0
ActCCMessage Already in Table: Code= c006, Mode= 13, Level=  1, CmdKey= -1, Option= 0

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

During the installation process, the resolve installer complained of zlib being missing even though the package is installed.

We use

on uBlue images (Aurora / Bluefin / Bazzite).

I tried davincibox too and had some issues with it as well (on Blue as well as on Workstation). As that’s way more difficult to debug for me, I’d like to stick with a “native” approach.

Doing some quick testing right now I get the same segmentation fault even in davincibox

Worth noting that the flatpak install (media issues) can be fixed by adding 2 lines (Environment params) in flatseal:

RUSTICL_ENABLE=radeonsi,iris,nouveau
OCL_ICD_VENDORS=rusticl.icd

This sadly doesn’t solve my main media issue. Importing a mov file only shows it’s audio, the video is completely missing. Playback doesn’t work at all.
