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/

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.

Harry (from the github thread) hasn't been able to repro on Ubuntu so far

I'm curious if you've been using --usecase=graphics on install?

No, I've been using "sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=opencl" Since Mesa has been working for OpenGL. Let me try and see if it works
