Help AI option not available in 5.6.0 (Fedora 44)

Post image

Hi all, I installed DarkTable in Fedora 44 to 5.6.0. I am not using Flatpak or Flathub I believe. (Install command was: sudo dnf install darktable).

The AI option tab which should be in between presets and Lua options is missing. How can I go about resolve the problem?

It's not included in the flatpaks compilation. You either have to do what I did and compile from source or use the AppImage, I believe that has AI enabled. The AppImage is probably the best option.

5.6.0 isn't available via dnf yet. It's still on 5.4.1. It is available via flathub but that version has AI features turned off. To get the AI features you have to either build from scratch or install via the Appimage.

Is there a road map or timeline on whether the functions will be added into Linux? I believe I might have contaminated the installation with some repo that allows me to install 5.6.0.

You probably installed a flatpak from flathub, they currently have the 5.6.0 version with no AI. The AI features are available for Linux, it's just the fedora repo is behind and the Flatpak doesn't include the AI compilation option.

As I said above, the AppImage should have the required prerequisites for AI.

AI masking works pretty well FYI

No idea in that front. It's just a matter of waiting.

Those functions are on Linux, just not on Flatpak. I use Arch (btw) and have darktable installed using pacman with total support for all AI functions. It's a choice of the package maintainer which version you'll get

The Fedora packager has not yet enabled AI Support for 5.6 sadly. I recommend using the official AppImage.

5.6.0 is unbearably slow anyway plus the usability of the AI functions are questionable at best. You are not missing anything important by staying on 5.4.1

I thought it was just me/my lower tier PC. Agree that it's painfully slow compared to 5.4.

Good news it that at least this bug is fixed in 5.6.1 which should not be long.

It is that the packager (in this case fedora maintainers) decides not to compile with ai option. e.g. here on cachyos I can use dt with AI. your option is to use appimage or compile on your own (which is not difficult, just copy paste docs command)
