Linux support

Well it works for me on my local linux server with RTX3090 and 4090 using nVidia driver 575.51.03, and it also works on runpod as well using their 3090/4090 machines.

What’s lacking overall for linux is a common “baseline” of drivers, libraries and the TVAI stack to make this work for everyone. This is something TL could offer, by just posting a single message on this forum (or on the support page/online docs).

It would at least serve as reference of “what works” so beta-users can bisect what exactly differs on the specific machine they’re using where it doesn’t work, and once that’s understood, they’d be able to fix the problem there.

To that end, I created a Docker repo a while ago when I had this exact reproduction issue and the TL people only answered “works on my machine” / “in our snowflake environment inhouse”. You can find it here.

That repo standardizes everything but the nvidia driver on your machine (and the HW of course), since it has all the CUDA related stuff in the container as well. See if that works.

If that’s not sufficient, ping back and I can publish the TVAI runpod template (“VM” image) I’m using, which also standardizes the hardware and nVidia driver, so you can investigate what differs vs. your local machine.

Oh, I’m also using vai-docker, but it wasn’t working for me, so I thought it was a compatibility issue. I’ll have to take another look at it.

Detail log:
Topaz Video AI Linux Beta v5.0.3.0.b - Topaz Video AI / Video AI Beta - Topaz Community

Ah, cool. I see you’re using a different driver version: 570.133.07
I’ve only tested up to 575.51.03 (which is what I’m currently using) I’ll respond proper in the thread you posted that log info to, so as not to derail this one from its main topic.

+1 for Linux support! I really want a Linux version of both Topaz Video AI and Topaz Photo AI. If there is already a Linux download available for either of them, could someone please share the link? Would love to be able to use both on Linux.

Hopefully linux can run this down the road. Topaz was the last piece of software holding me back from permanently switching to it.

Windows has always been a trade-off of functionality vs privacy, but the deluge of privacy invasion disclosures these last few years have finally made me reach a tipping point.
