Did you backup your database/profile before upgrading to dt 2.4 (which I 
presume is what you used in ubuntu 16.04)?

Otherwise you might run into problems downgrading.

Re: [darktable-user] Darktable on Windows

[Matej Martinovic]

I'm not sure you would benefit from OpenCL. As someone already pointed 
out, you need a somewhat decent GPU to make use of it. Did it work 
before the upgrade to 16.04?


Your overall slow performance may also be due to heat problems. Have you 
checked the temperature of your CPU and GPU? Older laptops get filled up 
with dust. The CPU/GPU reaches higher temperatures and throttles itself.


Windows, btw, is never the solution ;)

use Open CL (if this is your goal) is if the GPU is very fast. I
can use Open CL "GeForce GT 525M/PCIe/SSE2" - I believe 2 GB
memory for the GPU but I have no speed benefits because my GPU is
too old (my whole computer is too old actually). For speed - I use
the CPU. My only benefit for the GPU is to have a real monitor

I got burned before with AMD...

Re: [darktable-user] Darktable on Windows

[Robert William Hutton]

Hi André,

I'm in a very similar situation to what you describe: I have an AMD R9 
280 with an i5-4690 CPU @ 3.50GHz, and am running Ubuntu 17.10 as my 
daily OS.


I have stuffed around with the new AMDGPU-PRO and open source 
equivalents to try to get opencl under modern Ubuntu, but although 
support for my card is supposedly coming "eventually" I've stopped 
holding my breath.


The situation I've ended up with is a triple-boot system with:

* Ubuntu 17.10
* Ubuntu 15.10 (last ubuntu version with fglrx drivers)
* Windows 10 (almost exclusively for the one game I play)

I can report that dt 2.4.1 builds just fine on Ubuntu 15.10 and runs 
accelerated with opencl.  I can also report that dt 2.4.1 runs fine on 
Windows 10 accelerated with opencl.


But in reality I edit most of my files on Ubuntu 17.10 anyway and just 
live with the lack of opencl.


If you'd like to try the Ubuntu 15.10 route, I wrote some instructions 
on building dt here, which I /think/ should still work:

Hello dt users,

I don't use Windows for more than 5 years and used to be very happy 
with Linux (Ubuntu, in my case). Until Ubuntu 14.04 or 15.10 I was, at 
least. In that time, I could use the AMD HD 7730M 2gb GPU of my Dell 
Inspiron 7520 Core I7 notebook, 8gb RAM.


When dt started to use GTK 3.0, I had to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04, in 
order to be able to compile the package.
With Ubuntu 16.04, I lost the graphics card proprietary driver. No 
more AmdGPU, no more Opencl, and my computer is like a snail 
nowadays... Even with fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04.


My options are:

Buy a new Laptop (maybe a Gamer machine with Geforce 1050) for a lot 
of cash,


or.

Say goodbye to Linux and go back to Windows, since AMD still supports 
my graphics card (last update february/2018) and dt now runs on Windows.


My questions are:
1) Is dt for windows stable, right now?

2) What are your opinion about the above scenario?

Thank you in advance!

I use the windows version since a few weeks (self compiled) and it works 
great. No fails or crashes on Win10. Many thanks for this.

Hello everyone,

as most of you probably noticed by now we have had quite some work done in the
past months to port darktable to Windows. It's mostly due to Peter Budai that
we are able to provide a first public preview of what we achieved so far. Find
the disclaimer and a link to the installer on the pixls forum:
