DaVinci Resolve issues after update (and some workarounds)

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)

1

Recently I started to have three issues with DaVinci Resolve Studio on Garuda Linux, Mokka edition with KDE and Wayland:

  1. Keyboard not working. In the main window, only Ctrl, Alt, Shift and the letter D work.
    • The letter D only works for enable/disable clips on the Edit page.
    • But in the Help menu at the top there’s a search box. In there, the entire keyboard is working fine.
  2. When Resolve is running, the keyboard doesn’t work in the Brave browser either, if Brave is started with ozone-platform=x11
  3. After update to Resolve 20.0.1, it doesn’t start at all. Downgrading to 20.0 doesn’t fix the issue.
    • The errors are about libpango, mostly undefined symbol: g_once_init_leave_pointer and a few more.

I don’t know what caused this because I did a garuda-update but I was also fiddling with udev and some configs, trying to get the Speed Editor to work again over Bluetooth, after it stopped working.

I did find some workarounds/fixes and I thought I should share them with everyone, just in case anyone else is experiencing this.

TL;DR Workarounds / Fixes

Resolve:

In the .desktop file that I use to start Resolve, my Exec line is:

Exec=env -u XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb QT_IM_MODULE=xim LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0:/usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

Brave:

In the .desktop file that I use to start Brave, my Exec line is:

Exec=env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia MOZ_DISABLE_RDD_SANDBOX=1 VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland GDK_BACKEND=wayland GTK_IM_MODULE=wayland QT_IM_MODULE=wayland XMODIFIERS= /opt/brave-bin/brave --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations,VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder,UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-zero-copy --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder %U

That’s it. Only read below if you’re curious why/how does this work.
I’m also going to include the full .desktop file for Resolve, I’ll also explain all the env vars that you see in this line, because all of them are important for DaVinci Resolve on Linux.

Details

For issue 1, keyboard not working

You need to:

  • Unset 2 environment variables:
    • XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
    • DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.
  • Set another 2 env vars, but this is optional and it might work fine without them:
    • QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
    • QT_IM_MODULE=xim

How to do it:

  • Find the .desktop file that you use to start Resolve. Usually in ~/.local/share/applications/davinci-resolve.desktop
  • On the Exec line, make sure the command starts with env -u XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
  • For the optionals, include them in the env line, so now your Exec line should look like Exec=env -u XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb QT_IM_MODULE=xim LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 [OTHER_ENV_STUFF_THAT_YOU_USE_HERE] /opt/resolve/bin/resolve.

For issue 2, Brave not having keyboard input while Resolve is running

Don’t start Brave with X11 ozone platform. Let it run on Wayland.

  • Find the .desktop file that you use to start Brave. Usually in ~/.local/share/applications/brave-browser.desktop
  • In it, find the Exec line and make sure there’s nothing about x11 in it.
  • Env vars: to be sure, you can set a few env vars in it to force wayland:
    • `XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
    • GDK_BACKEND=wayland
    • GTK_IM_MODULE=wayland
    • QT_IM_MODULE=wayland
  • It’s also helpful to set some brave-specific arguments:
    • --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations,UseOzonePlatform
    • --ozone-platform=wayland

My full exec line, including some things that help a bit with playing videos a bit better than stock:

Exec=env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia MOZ_DISABLE_RDD_SANDBOX=1 VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland GDK_BACKEND=wayland GTK_IM_MODULE=wayland QT_IM_MODULE=wayland XMODIFIERS= /opt/brave-bin/brave --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations,VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder,UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-zero-copy --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder %U

For issue 3, Resolve not starting

To fix this, there’s just one thing that you need to add to the env section of the Exec line in the .desktop file: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0:/usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.

Explanation of the env vars for Resolve:

  • -u XDG_RUNTIME_DIR: Needed to get the keyboard working. Removes the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable.
  • -u DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS: Needed to get the keyboard working. Removes the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable.
  • QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb: Optional. Tells QT Platform Abstraction to use the X protocol C-language Binding library. Basically nudge Resolve to use X, even if you’re on Wayland.
  • QT_IM_MODULE=xim: Optional. Tells QT to use the X Input Method for text input. Although xim is older, it’s pretty standard and solid.
  • QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1. Mandatory on 4k and high-dpi screens. Fixes the scaling issues that Resolve has on Linux. Basically use this if you want Resolve’s UI to actually be usable on these screens.
  • LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia: Use nvidia for vaapi. You need the nvidia-vaapi-driver package to be installed for this to work. Useful for dual-gpu laptops (intel + nvidia).
  • LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0:/usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so. Fixes the “resolve not starting issue” by forcing it to use system libraries from /usr/lib64, and this fixes incompatibilities between the libraries of Resolve and some potentially newer libraries that you might have on your system like glib2.

So… I found something new. It’s so weird to me but perhaps someone else can understand what’s going on.

So I’m trying to get to the bottom of this and if I run davinci with dbus-run-session:

dbus-run-session -- env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia \
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 \
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb \
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0:/usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

then my keyboard works fine even without unsetting those two env vars, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

It also works ok if I use eval $(dbus-launch):

eval $(dbus-launch) // this prints a new dbus path
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/dbus-ssIYBN62OY  // this is the printed dbus path
env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia \
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 \
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb \
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0:/usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

I’ve already reinstalled dbus. First with pacman -S dbus, then with pacman -Rdd dbus && pacman -S dbus

I am very very confused and have no idea what’s going on. There are a few things that might be related:

  • A few days ago I tried to install Xorg and the xfce DE, I was trying to find a fix for a 4k video issue. Maybe this broke dbus?
  • If I go to the top menu and Show Logout Screen, I get the screen with all the options to shutdown etc.
    • but if I click on “Logout”, I’m taken to a black screen with a working mouse cursor on it.
    • from there I can only get back to my desktop if I go to another tty, login and systemctl restart sddm
󰛓 ❯ lsof -U | grep "/run/user/1000/bus"

dbus-brok 6529 darius   3u  unix 0x00000000d62b9f3a      0t0 48266 /run/user/1000/bus type=STREAM (LISTEN)

[... many many others here but the first 2 are the same, 0x00000000d62b9f3a]

I tried strace and grep for dbus:

I do see the “Connected to dbus …” message, so it’s fine on the Resolve side of things?

Not understanding all of what you write and explain here :thinking:, I also had the keyboardproblem not responding in resolve and the not starting Resolve. In terminal cd /opt/resolve/libs && sudo rm -rf libgio-2.0.so libgio-2.0.so.0 libgio-2.0.so.0.6800.4 libglib-2.0.so libglib-2.0.so.0 libglib-2.0.so.0.6800.4 libgmodule-2.0.so libgmodule-2.0.so.0 libgmodule-2.0.so.0.6800.4
to change the outdated libs from Davinci to system libs will make the program start.
I found this https://technikatsu.com/fixing-davinci-resolve-keyboard-input-on-kde-wayland-without-switching-to-x11/ which helped me, along with installing dkms-drivers (openrazer-driver-dkms) for my Razer keyboard and mouse. For the script you have to make it executable. After reboot everything works fine. Hope this can be of help for you as well :crossed_fingers: and that I haven’t brought you in to a terrible mess with the findings that worked for me.

Thank you! It worked! And the Speed Editor works over bluetooth again now!

Now my launch line is just: env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1

The full launch script, in ~/.local/share/applications/davinci-resolve-launch.sh:

#!/bin/bash

# Disable KDE Global AppMenu
qdbus org.kde.kded6 /kded org.kde.kded6.unloadModule "appmenu"

# Launch DaVinci Resolve
env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

# Re-enable AppMenu module when Resolve closes
qdbus org.kde.kded6 /kded org.kde.kded6.loadModule "appmenu"

And the .desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=DaVinci Resolve Studio
Comment=Professional video editing software
Exec=/home/darius/.local/share/applications/davinci-resolve-launch.sh
Icon=/opt/resolve/graphics/DV_Resolve.png

I am happy that it solved your problems :clinking_beer_mugs:
