Description of problem: blender is not starting Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.79b-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start blender Actual results: ****************************************************************** * FATAL ERROR: * * This OpenCV build doesn't support current CPU/HW configuration * * * * Use OPENCV_DUMP_CONFIG=1 environment variable for details * ****************************************************************** Required baseline features: SSE - OK SSE2 - OK SSE3 - NOT AVAILABLE OpenCV(3.4.1) Error: Assertion failed (Missing support for required CPU baseline features.

Could you test this update if that solves the issue? https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-1f97e63b89
It appears the issue is related to OpenCV on that old Xeon 5450. Assigning to the right packager.
If your CPU doesn't support required feature, none update of OpenCV sowftware will solve it. You have to update your hardware to be able to use this software again. Closing as CANTFIX.
I think that Xeon 5450 supports SSE3... see: http://cpuboss.com/cpu/Intel-Xeon-X5450 I have the latest Intel microcode installed anyway my setup is a hack: the CPU is a LGA 771 socket while the motherboard is LGA 775 I bypassed the problem downloading and installing Blender from sourceforge.net and it works fine.
Close as work for you (or me) "I bypassed the problem downloading and installing Blender from sourceforge.net and it works fine." what you mean as modified ?
Sorry, my mistake, I was meaning that I modified the bug report adding my comment.
