Been fighting this bug for a while now, but since I updated rocm to 7.2 DaVinci resolve died.
Took me a while to track down that it was rocm until I ran across an endeavour os post about it. But if you’ve noticed that resolve stopped loading and not showing errors, Try downgrading rocm and trying again.

If you need to downgrade your amdgpu-install package, AMD’s repo link is here https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/


hey, hope you’re doing well. Can you confirm if ROCm 7.2.1 fixes the issue for you?
Last I tried to download it for Ubuntu last night. The file wasn’t there, will check again when I can
huh, weird. I’ll check in with that and see what’s going on.
Found the driver, amdgpu-install_7.2.1.70201-1_all.deb.
Downloaded and installed. And while it doesn’t immediately crash, it’s still crashing before the main page loads. Just after the fairlight page. Will see if there is any Davinci updates and report back
Looks like they copies 7.2 folder when the updated to 7.2.1. Only REHL and another distro has March files, the rest are dated Jan.
Just finished installing DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_20.3.2_Linux.
With amdgpu-install_7.2.1.70201-1_all.deb the app does start and the splash screen shows. But the app crashes before the main menu appears. I presume there’s still issues in the OpenCL implementation. Not sure if it’s a Davinci issue or a Driver issue. Old driver still works.
Updating the issue myself, but yeah let me know if you want me to check anything else.
Thank you for checking in with this. Strangely it seems to work fine for other people using different distros. Will follow up internally.
I am also running an edge case with an iGPU and a Laptop. Let me know if you want me to run or try anything else.
