Topic: Unable to start SVP4 (Linux) after Pro update

Hey folks,

I'm new to Linux (Mint 22.2) and had SVP working flawlessly, but after the latest update the manager will just doesn't start.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling for a fresh installer... no luck. Hoping someone can give me a hand.

Specs in image, if relevant. Let me know if you need any other info.

Thank you for your time,

run in the console and see what's missing
probably libxcb-cursor0

Yes that was the fix. I realized that shortly after the post, but was rate limited so I could not update the post.
Thanks.

Re: Unable to start SVP4 (Linux) after Pro update

I'm stuck on the activation window in Linux. I've had a license since 2021-09-18.
I'm on Linux Nobara 42 which is based on Fedora.

I've tried plain updating, then reinstalling and then purging and reinstalling (deleting ~/.local/share/SVP4) SVP. Resetting the license with rm ~/.local/share/SVP4/reg.cfg ~/.local/share/SVP4/main.cfg
I've got lsof xcb-util-cursor libva openssl installed and I still can't get passed the activation window.
I checked the License Manager, it gets registered there each time, but I still can't get passed the Activation window. Can't get passed it with Evaluation license as well.

I don't have ROCM - OpenCL installed, but that should not be the reason that SVPManager does not work.
I have mesa-libOpenCL installed. I tried mv /etc/OpenCL/vendors/rusticl.icd /etc/OpenCL/vendors/rusticl.icd.bak to hide it from SVP. Below you can see that the NOT SUPPORTED message is gone.

I'm out of ideas. Please help somebody

Re: Unable to start SVP4 (Linux) after Pro update

Funnily enough, I can bypass the registration if I install SVP on a ubuntu distrobox image, but only on the distrobox. To be clear, nothing works. I would probably need to do some setup work, but I would  rather do that directly on the host. SVP gets past the Activation window only in the distrobox image while in the host it is still stuck on the activation window.

Still waiting for someone with a magic solution.
