Davinci Resolve 16 won't start in Ubuntu 18.04

I installed DaVinci Resolve 16 on Ubuntu 18.04 using makeresolvedeb. When I click on the desktop icon nothing visible happens. Here are my results of running Resolve from the command line:

$ /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem. I'm familiar with with the command line but am a novice not a wizard.

I am running a Dell Inspiron 15R (Core i7, 5537)

Many Thanks!

Solution 1:

Did you do it along these lines?

Installed the packages libssl1.0.0, ocl-icd-opencl-dev, fakeroot and xorriso (the first two packages are needed for running DaVinci Resolve and the last 2 packages for generating the deb).

sudo apt install libssl1.0.0 ocl-icd-opencl-dev fakeroot xorriso
Download the latest DaVinci Resolve 16 for Linux and extract it in your home folder (scroll down to the end of the page for the download button).
Download The MakeResolveDeb script (http://www.danieltufvesson.com/makeresolvedeb) and extract it in the same folder where you extracted DaVinci Resolve 16.
- Make sure the DaVinci Resolve and the MakeResolveDeb script are the exact same version.
- Make sure both the DaVinci Resolve and the MakeResolveDeb scripts (the extracted .sh files) are in the same folder.
Run the MakeResolveDeb script to create the DaVinci Resolve 16.

Assuming you've extracted DaVinci Resolve in your home folder and placed the MakeResolveDeb script in the same folder as DaVinci Resolve, you can create the deb by using these commands:
