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". 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. Glad the issue got resolved. |
Created attachment 1554903 [details] 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.
