Fix for DaVinci Resolve Segmentation Fault on Devian 13.
If Resolve prints the following and then crashes:
…then the issue is almost certainly caused by Resolve not being able to write to its own log directory. This usually happens if Resolve was ever run with sudo, which causes the config/log folders to become owned by root.
The “ActCCMessage Already in Table” lines are harmless and not related to the crash.
RUN THIS:
Then launch Resolve again.
If that doesn't work, reset the Resolve config folder
Run Resolve again — it will recreate the folder with correct permissions.
I hope this information will resolve the issue.

Sadly I've gotten the same thing.Even after renaming the folder.
Is there a guide for Debian 13 as this setup is absolutely torturous.
Was planning to buy the paid version but not if I can't even get the free one up and running.

So I run the program and get this now
I include the driver version of Nvidia I'm on
If I then click update configuration I cannot see my GPU in GPU configuration. Is there something I need to do to get Davinci Resolve to recognise my GPU card?

Edit: A little more research showed me that Debian 13.4 (trixie) has the latest security updates.
1. DaVinci Resolve on Linux requires CUDA to utilize NVIDIA GPUs
2. Common issues on Debian is that Resolve looks for libraries in paths used by CentOS and Rocky Linux distros. You can often force Resolve to see the driver by preloading the library.
Try launching Resolve from the terminal with this command:
If that works, the drivers will load, then add this command to Resolves launcher files.
3. Maybe check for missing dependencies, and if any are found, they will need to add those packages to Debian.
I hope that between the article and these tricks, you will be able to get it running correctly.
