1) Install rocky linux 8.6
- upgrade to latest packages
sudo dnf update - enable networking
2) install amdgpu-pro
- Remove nomodeset and rdblacklist=nouveau in grub config in /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub2/grubenv
sudo dnf install http://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/6.3/rhel/8.10/amdgpu-install-6.3.60300-1.el8.noarch.rpm
sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=workstation --vulkan=pro --opencl=rocr
- Add user to video and render group:
sudo usermod -a -G render sudo usermod -a -G video
3) Install Davince Resolve Studio 19
install xcb-util-cursor:
sudo dnf install epel-release sudo dnf install xcb-util-cursordownload Davinci Resolve Studio 19 by going to support center, clicking the desired version, and finally
Downlod only- extract and run the installer
- apply crack (confirmed working with version 19.1.2
sudo perl -pi -e 's/\x00\x85\xc0\x74\x7b\xe8/\x00\x85\xc0\xEB\x7b\xe8/g' /opt/resolve/bin/resolve
4) Compile awesome wm
Compiling awesome on Rocky Linux 8.10 requires the following dependencies (in order of build): * lua * lua-markdown * lua-lgi * lua-filesystem * lua-ldoc * lua-penlight * xapian-xire * doxygen (note: this ought to be fc29 version) * libxdg-basedir * xcb-util * xcb-util-wm * xcb-util-keysymx * xorg-x11-util-macros * xcb-util-xrm * libxkb * xcb-util-image * xcb-util-renderutil
To build these, you have to go through various iterations of fetching
source RPMs from fedora 28 src repo,
installing the builddeps and finally rebuilding using rpbbuild. Thus,
for lua, you would:
wget https://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/28/Everything/source/tree/Packages/l/lua-5.3.4-10.fc28.src.rpm
sudo dnf builddep lua-*.src.rpm --nobest --refresh
rpmbuild --rebuild lua-.src.rpm
Specific notes:
* doxygen src rpm should come Fedora 29
* lua-ldoc and lua-penlight depend on each other, thus you will need to temporarily activate the fc28 repo by adding this in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
[fedora]
name=Fedora 28 - x86_64
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-28&arch=x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Make sure to disable it after getting lua-ldoc or lua-penlight built.
After building all of your dependencies, clean-up everything by rolling back to the transaction before you started installing build dependencies. Use dnf history info <transaction no> to find that number and then dnf history rollback <transaction no>
To facilitate installing the built dependencies, you can use createrepo to create a repo in /home/user/rpmbuild and pointing a new dnf repo to this folder.
Once everything is rolledback, you can install awesome and just it's runtime dependencies, and then refer to archlinux's awesome-gnome package to integrate awesome in gnome.
5) Install git-annex standalone
