Unfortunately I am not able to provide a solution. But maybe I can share some insight. I also tried to install DaVinci Resolve (DaVinci_Resolve_15.0b7_Linux) today on an almost identical system (Lubuntu 18.04, same CPU, same Graphics, same Memory, but an HP) and had the same error. I believe that our Graphics is just not good enough for Resolve. If you check their forum you will find them saying again and again that Resolve requires a good GPU.
I got a step further by installing OpenCL with the following command:
apt-get install beignet clinfo
and then checking with:
clinfo
(see also: Install OpenCL on Ubuntu 17.04, intel)
This solved the above error and the welcome screen of DaVinci Resolve was showing. But then I still got the error message, that no OpenCL capable GPU was found. screenshot of error message
Some comments on the DaVinci forum also mention, that even if you get Resolve starting up with this kind of low-end GPU, you will not be able to work properly with it...
