Natron does not run on Ubuntu.

Software Natron

Greetings everyone.
Gentlemen, I am here to report a small problem that I am seeing in Natron on Ubuntu.
I was able to install Natron through the installer
“Natron-2.3.14-Linux-x86_64bit” and when trying to run Natro I noticed that it does not run on the system, so just tried running it via terminal to try to find the error.

Can you let me know if I can use it with AMD’s proprietary drive? It seems to me that this is a problem with this AMD drive module.

2

What version of Ubuntu?

3

I am currently using Ubuntu 18.4 with KDE and AMD’s proprietary Video Drive.

4

The Natron 2.3.14 flatpak works. Ubuntu 18.04 → 19.10.

5

With the proprietary AMD drivers?

6

Which ones? Do you mean AMDGPU? Or AMDGPUPro? They are different. You’ll find the AMD commercial OpenCL packages bundled with AMDGPUPro. I do have a VEGA FE card, and am using AMD graphics. It does work. Though I also use Davinci Resolve and found the AMDGPUPro OpenCL stack not compatible with that program on Ubuntu. For God knows what reason. So I’ve had to use rocm instead. All that said, Natron works. With the commercial driver. And it recognizes my VEGA card for GPU rendering.
