I've installed the blackmagic drivers on my machine (kubuntu 18.04) that is using the exact same kernel successfully, and without problems....

Perhaps the driver is failing the DKMS driver compilation because you are missing the kernel headers.

Try doing:

sudo apt install linux-headers-generic

That should allow the drivers to compile successfully.

Hope that helps,
Brian

so, As I have been working on this problem. There are no snaps for the specified software: desktopvideo, desktopvideo-gui, mediaexpress. While attempting to install them via the deb, I get dependency problems revolving around dkms. While attempting an 'apt --fix-broken install' I get this output: https://pastebin.com/AtwWb8UR (note: paste will be up only 1 week from this email send date)

So at this time All I want is to be able to use the capture device with OBS. I imagine I am attempting to go the long way to get to where I want to be.

I'm going to start poking around for how to build a kernel module to enable the blackmagic design card

Did you get errors while installing?  If so, what were they?
