Title: Davinci Resolve Just Ran on Linux Mint — Here’s How (No, Really)
Blackmagic Design’s powerhouse video editor, DaVinci Resolve, is finally playing nice with Linux Mint—though not without a few extra steps that feel like reverse engineering. Thanks to a livestream with Veronica Explains and some clever troubleshooting, here’s the lowdown:
1. Prep your system: First things first—ensure you’ve got the latest GPU drivers installed (NVIDIA users, I see you sweating).
2. Install dependencies via terminal:
“`bash
sudo apt install libapr1 libaprutil1 libasound2t64 libglib2.0-0
“`
3. Grab the .run file from Blackmagic’s site, extract it, and drag it into the terminal—but prepend it with:
“`bash
sudo SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1
“`
4. Post-install hack: Resolve tries to use outdated GLib libraries and will crash on launch. Prevent this by moving three key files:
“`bash
sudo mkdir /opt/resolve/libs/unneeded
sudo mv /opt/resolve/libs/libgio* /opt/resolve/libs/unneeded/
sudo mv /opt/resolve/libs/libglib* /opt/resolve/libs/unneeded/
sudo mv /opt/resolve/libs/libgmodule* /opt/resolve/libs/unneeded/
“`
Boom—Resolve runs. Bonus: It even works on older hardware, which makes retro-enthusiasts everywhere do a happy dance. 🎬_linux_trophy_
