My opencl installation is working fine opencl based programs are working like davinci resolve

Does anyone know how to deal with this problem?

You can try removing the cached kernels in this directory and having DT regenerate them. Also make sure your gpu driver is up to date.

Everything is fine with my opencl, all other programs work fine, it’s darktable that won’t open after the last system update. I tried deleting the darktable related folders but it didn’t do anything!

Apologies if you already stated, but knowing the operating system may help people to give feedback. Also, I have known darktable to crash when opening an image to develop and Open CL is activated in the preferences, but DT is unhappy working with it for any number of reasons. I mention this because if you are selecting an image outside of darktable and asking for it to be opened by darktable it may result in a crash, whereas if you open darktable without selecting an image it may open. If that is case then disable Open CL and see how you go.

However, if it is crashing when just opening the program I am at a loss because I have only seen Open CL problems when trying to open an image in the darkroom tab.

5

If I disable opencl to start darktable, it will run, but I want darktable to use gpu acceleration.

OK, I had a similar problem on one of my computers, which was BTW running Linux. The Open CL driver was not the latest from manufacturer. I installed the very latest driver and problem resolved. I hope your solution is this easy. Other programs may run on an older driver, but DT may not. I am no expert on this and certainly defer to the advice of any experts that respond to your post. In the meantime run DT without open CL as only a few modules really benefit from it and the program should still function fine.
