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
