Distro switch to Ubuntu LTS fixes the issues can run DaVinci resolve studio and VMware no issues

That’s because, in line with F40 Change Proposal: Transitioning to Zlib-ng as a compatible replacement for Zlib (System-Wide) , zlib is now provided by zlib-ng, or more specifically by the zlib-ng-compat package which provides the zlib compatible interface to zlib-ng.

Any good tips and suggestions for workarounds

Workaround for what? What is the actual problem that installing zlib-ng-compat doesn’t solve?

[image] Tom Hughes: zlib is now provided by zlib-ng, or more specifically by the zlib-ng-compat package which provides the zlib compatible interface to zlib-ng. That wasn’t confusing at all !

Well example DaVinci is looking for the zlib and flips a finger when it can’t find it for example Second workaround is using distrobox to create davincibox where I have all files and zlib and older libs that it needs so this is tomorrow testing

What is it actually looking for? If it’s checking a specific package name with rpm -q then that’s not going to work. If it’s looking for libz.so then you might need to install zlib-ng-compat-devel but again that is a really broken thing for it to do. But really if you want help with commercial so…

Okey will do I will switch this query and issue to seller side then…

[image] Marko Jokinen: Well example DaVinci is looking for the zlib and flips a finger when it can’t find it for example I have no idea what this means. Please give specific error messages that can be commented on. I see that the that /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 is installed in on f40 and f39.

Hello, I found this and worked for me. sudo SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_XYZ https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=199180&p=1041899&hilit=zlib#p1041899

Link not working, but will test today this skip package check Nevermind it was some bug and it was actually my own post where we was talking this issue
