DaVinci Resolve from distrobox

[PhatLe]

trying to get DaVinci resolve to run from distrobox and almost got it running after solving lib issues. For the guides says i need to install nvidia-container-toolkit in to host and enable --nvidia --init done i get it running, but no UI when running from distrobox terminal so it might be toolkit issue or did i miss something else

[PhatLe]

i finally got this sorted and it is all working as should

steps
distrobox create --name davincibox --init -nvidia

enter distrobox

sudo zypper dup

before running install

sudo zypper in fuse libfuse2 libapr1-0 libapr-util1-0 libGLU1 libgomp1 libgthread-2_0-0 libICE6 libSM6 libxcb-icccm4 libxcb-image0 libxcb-keysyms1 libxcb-render-util0 libxcb-shape0 libxcb-util1 libxcb-xinerama0 libxcb-xinput0 libxcb-xkb1 libxkbcommon-x11-0 libXtst6 libXt6 libOpenCL1
install davinci resolve using SKIP_PACKAGECHECK=1

go to /opt/resolve/libs

then

sudo mkdir /opt/resolve/libs/_original_libraries
sudo mv /opt/resolve/libs/{libgio*,libglib*,libgmodule*,libgobject*} _original_libraries/

after that you can run and test using /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

havent figured yet why distrobox-export --app resolve wont work running from BoxBuddy installed apps it works and running for distrobox terminal it works, but exported apps wont run due cant change path… error

will update this when i get export apps working, but as now i use BoxBuddy installed applications to run DaVinci Resolve as screenshot shows it works

[PhatLe]

just a warning if you decide to go this way uninstall davinci before deleting container since i had to spend hours to find all fuse modules and what was using it and fuse complaining all the time even no container anymore there still might be some fuse files etc somewhere but atleast it wont complain anymore

[PhatLe]

got all working now the exported apps working you just need to go

~/./local/share/applications and manually edit the desktop icons and edit path Path=/home
to all DaVinci Resolve apps

to get correct icons go in your distrobox /opt/resolve/graphics/
copy all to ~/.local/share/icons

the again just edit the desktop icons file and assign correct icons

example is here
