Control panels not working

[rothgar]

IMPORTANT

Before reporting a bug, make sure that you can reproduce it on the latest version of davincibox.

See the upgrading section of the README for more information.

Describe the bug

I just did a fresh install of 18.6.6 studio version and opened davinci and went to the control panel setup and my speed editor is not detected. I manually launched /opt/resolve/DaVinci Control Panels Setup/DaVinci Control Panels Setup and the panel is found in that window but when I click on it to perform a firmware update it fails.

The logs at the console say

/opt/resolve/DaVinci Control Panels Setup 
$ ./DaVinci\ Control\ Panels\ Setup

I also had to remove a couple of the built in davinci libraries to get it to run. I was getting errors with libgio so I found this on reddit and it worked for me.

cd /opt/resolve/libs
sudo mkdir disabled-libraries
sudo mv libglib* disabled-libraries
sudo mv libgio* disabled-libraries
sudo mv libgmodule* disabled-libraries

I don't have any of the DaVinci Resolve related hardware to test with myself, so I'm unable to directly troubleshoot this, unfortunately.

I also had to remove a couple of the built in davinci libraries to get it to run.

To clarify: does "it" here refer specifically to the Control Panels Setup? Not DaVinci Resolve?

[rothgar]

Correct. The control panels setup was the problem.

However, I went and tested this outside of davincibox and I had the same problem so this isn't a problem specifically with davincibox and instead something on my system (or davinci on Linux in general). I'm going to close this issue since I don't think there will be a solution here.

Thanks

Correct. The control panels setup was the problem.

OK yeah, that makes sense, then. The workaround we have right now for the built-in libraries only applies to running DaVinci Resolve itself; I'll open a separate issue about accounting for the other things Resolve comes with too.
