The only advice i would give anyone adopting this approach, is utilize up-to-date setups on his one machines as well, to become more sensible and aware for changes, which may also affect the servers soon thereafter.īut it's indeed a style of continuous delivery and rolling update, which you can not realize with most other distributions, because you really need an enormous large active user base and absolute reliable software update mechanisms to handle this kind of tasks without inevitably drifting into fatal consequences. a few weeks later everything has calm down again. that's always a quite exciting and advantageous time. You only have to watch out the periods after the official/classical releases, when the feature freeze period for new packages gets terminated again and a vast amount of deferred changes rush in. Running debian testing as rolling release on important production infrastructure, may be seen as utterly irresponsible by some people, but i can only tell you the opposite on the basis of practical experiences managing linux clusters since the early 90ths. the actual version of the nvida-drivers on this kind of machines is the quite recent version 375.82 - but you could even get 381.22 ready packed for debian from the experimental branch, if you feel even more adventurous ( ) I'm used to utilize debian an 'testing' in a rolling release mode on my private desktop just as on our production servers (mostly internet related service, where frequently updates and security patches are indispensable).
For complete removal of Resolve, also remove the /opt/resolve/ directory (rm -rf /opt/resolve) Attachments makeresolvedeb_12.5.6-1.sh.tar.gz (2.11 KiB) Downloaded 675 timesĪlvaro Castaneda wrote:unless you have a new card, I have a GTX 1080ti which is NOT supported by the drivers on any of the debian repos All system modifications will be cleaned up and the only stray files left over are in the /opt/resolve/ directory.

I have tested this mainly on Debian Stretch with good results but I can take no responsibility for any problems this procedure may cause. The version is selected by giving makeresolvedeb the argument "studio" or "lite".
makeresolvedeb supports both Studio and Lite version.
I realized just now that I had not shared my updated Resolve 12.5.6 install converter script for Debian.įor those of you who are running Debian or Debian based distributions (such as Ubuntu) I have created the makeresolvedeb tool for converting the Resolve installer into a proper Debian package.
I wonder what changed.? 12.5.6 is also running fine fine on the same machine. My video workstation uses GTX1080 right now with Debian Stretch and it's been rock solid up until Resolve 14.0b6 began segfaulting on start. I run Debian on several machines here with various Nvidia GPUs. I've found Debian to be very stable for GPU intensive work both for CUDA and general graphics.
Unless you have a new card, I have a GTX 1080ti which is NOT supported by the drivers on any of the debian repos even updates work as smooth and reliable as for all other software on debian machines. To make use of cuda and opencl support, you have have to install a few additional nvidia-* packages (nvidia-opencl-icd, nvidia-cuda-toolkit), but otherwise i can not report any significant obstacles.
the only important requirement you have to take care of, is using the proprietary nvidea-driver ('nvidia-driver'+'nvidia-kernel-dkms' from the non-free section) and not the free ones (nouveau).
