Davinci Resolve on intel/nvidia laptop "Failed to initialize gpu" Any thoughts or fixes?
Like the title says, I decided to test bazzite on my laptop since I liked it on my legion go so much. However trying to get Davinci to run has proven unfortunate to say the least. On the KDE nvidia most current release.
Steps I have tried:
Installing using the ujust install-resolve command.
Installing Davincibox from scratch following the guide, and ensuring the --nvidia tag was used.
^same but without the tag just to check.
Forcing davincibox and Davinci to use the gpu. (which it refuses to save the setting for some reason)
Might try the standard fedora 40 process to install, but unsure if I even can with bazzite being immutable, and also worried about breaking some dependencies which happened back when I was testing nobara.

I've been having the same issue. It appears to be a problem with the Nvidia 555 driver
same issue here
NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
did not helped, or wrong way using, can i put enviroment variables in KDE menu for davinci distrobox ?
fix the issue by DISABLING igpu in BIOS
Unfortunately my laptops bios does not have an option to disable igpu
ok then try to open BoxBuddy , choose davicibox, press open terminal, then use -
NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia run-davinci
it will probably force davinci using the nvidia gpu
the problem isn't recognizing the gpu, it's that Davinci won't use CUDA
it wont use cuda when main gpu is integrated probably, you can try to switch for the dGpu as a main for the experiment, the issue has gone when i disable igpu
This is getting a fix upstream
