Issues with Linux
There are a couple of potential issues when using the DvDevA on Linux, which can be circumvented via settings in the Linux OS.
- The Wayland display server in newer Linux distributions causes problems in GUI of the DaVinci Developer Adaptive and should therefore not be used with the tool. Instead, use X11 as display server.
- An issue with libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 version 2.42.x may lead to an empty Welcome Page/Tool Help/Software Cluster Overview.
- If you are using version less than or equal to 2.40.x, please do not update to 2.42.x.
- If you are currently affected, you can circumvent the issue with the following command:
sudo bash -c "echo 'export WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1' >> /etc/profile.d/libwebkit2gtk.sh" - To avoid scrollbars hiding/partially obscuring objects execute the following in terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface overlay-scrolling false- Then restart the application. (known issue in GTK: 519728 – Overlay scroll bar hides last element at eclipse.org bugtracker).
Issue with Remote Desktop Connection
When a large amount of data is contained in the clipboard, DaVinci Developer Adaptive may freeze during use in a remote desktop connection (e.g. Hyper-V VM).
To avoid the issue, note the following:
- Clear your clipboard before using a remote desktop connection.
- Copy only small amount of data that can be analyzed quickly.
