After installing DaVinci Resolve 19.0b1 on Ubuntu 24.04, nothing happens when you try to run the desktop app.
Attempting to run the application in a terminal gives the following error message and then crashes:
> /opt/resolve/bin/resolve
/opt/resolve/bin/resolve: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_leave_pointer
How can I get DaVinci Resolve to start?

I needed to install these packages before running the installer: libapr1 libaprutil1 libasound2 libglib2.0-0 libxcb-composite0 libxcb-cursor0 libxcb-xinerama0 libxcb-xinput0
After that Resolve gets installed into /opt.
I guess the GNOME stuff included with Resolve is too old, so I replaced a bunch of them with the newer ones already on my system by overwriting the ones in the
/opt/resolve/libs
directory.You can do this same with this:

Also, take a look at the download commands or script for a "quicker installation."
