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:

    for lib in 
      libglib-2.0.so.0 
      libgobject-2.0.so.0 
      libgstreamer-1.0.so.0 
      libgstsdp-1.0.so.0 
      libgstwebrtc-1.0.so.0 
      libgio-2.0.so.0 
      libgmodule-2.0.so.0 
      libgstrtp-1.0.so.0 
      libgstpbutils-1.0.so.0 
      libgstbase-1.0.so.0 
      libgstvideo-1.0.so.0 
      libgstaudio-1.0.so.0 
      libgsttag-1.0.so.0 
      liborc-0.4.so.0; 
    do
        ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/$lib /opt/resolve/libs/
    done
