Bug ID: 1699523 Summary: cannot launch blender Product: Fedora Version: 29 Status: NEW Component: blender Assignee: luya_tfz@thefinalzone.net Reporter: private@projectiveplane.net QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: design-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, kwizart@gmail.com, luya_tfz@thefinalzone.net, negativo17@gmail.com, promac@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
Created attachment 1554903 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1554903&action=edit stdout/stderr output
Description of problem: ----------------
Hello. I've just installed blender from the Fedora repository (@System), and it cannot start. When launching it, it hangs indefinitely.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ----------------
$ blender --version Blender 2.79 (sub 0) build date: 2018-11-02 build time: 18:31:23 build commit date: 1970-01-01 build commit time: 00:00 build hash: unknown
How reproducible: ---------------- Always
Steps to Reproduce: ---------------- 1. Install the proprietary Nvidia drivers because you'll need them to do GPU renders with blender 2. Install blender from "Softwares" 3. Launch blender
Actual results: ---------------- It blocks.
Expected results: ---------------- The blender windows pops up.
Additional info: ----------------
When launching with a terminal, it complains about a DRI2 connection. I have no idea what it means. See log in attachment (actually it's the stdout/stderr output).
Downloading the 2.79 binaries from blender.org yield the very same issue.

--- Comment #1 from Luya Tshimbalanga luya_tfz@thefinalzone.net --- Hello N.Brack, Normally Fedora does not deal with closed source on this bug report. However, we will take a look. - According to the log, your hardware runs on a hybrid graphics Intel/Nvidia. - Which Nvidia hardware do you use? - Have you tried the previous version of proprietary Nvidia driver to see if that works? - Does it work with Nouveau driver?
Because the issue affects both releases i.e. Fedora and the Blender binary, it appears hardware specific. - Assuming you run on Workstation, right click Blender and choose "Start with Dedicated Graphic Card".

--- Comment #2 from N.Brack private@projectiveplane.net --- Hello,
I reported the issue just in case and lost sight of it, and apparently some update since I reported the issue fixed it because I can launch blender again and use the CUDA renderer. Most likely Nvidia effed their driver at some point ?
Blender did work with nouveau, but without CUDA as I said.
Many thanks for your help.
