Description Lorenzo Pierfederici 2008-04-22 21:33:00 UTC
Description of problem:
When starting blender I get the following:
Compiled with Python version 2.5.1.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
Failed to initialize TTM buffer manager.  Falling back to classic.
/usr/bin/blender: line 46: 23036 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/blender.bin $@

I get the same error message when starting Shake (the compositing app from
Apple), but it's closed source and need an old library from Fedora 7 to start
(libX11.so.6.2.0), so it might be more difficult to track down...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
blender 2.45

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start blender

  
Additional info:
this is my videocard as reported by lspci:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics
Device (rev 02)

I'm using xorg "intel" driver (I haven't made any change to the autoconfigured
xorg.conf)

Looking at other bug reports it looks like that the "Failed to initialize TTM
buffer manager" is unrelated to the segfault, in fact I get the TTM error even
when running glxgears, but glxgears (seems to) run fine

Comment 1 Jochen Schmitt 2008-04-23 14:23:44 UTC
Thank you, that you have take the time to create this bug report. I want to ask,
if is it possible to create a so called backtrace for the reported segfault.
This may be very helpful for analyzing the reported issue.



Comment 2 Jochen Schmitt 2008-04-23 16:58:27 UTC
I have try out it on my x86_64 rawhide system. I have trouble with the display
of blender, because I can't use the properitary nvidia driver on rawhide, but I
don't get a segfault. I believe that your issue is caused by the inter graphic
driver.

Comment 3 Lorenzo Pierfederici 2008-04-23 21:18:49 UTC
here is the backtrace I get from gdb:

(gdb) bt

I think that this is related to the intel driver too, but I couldn't test it
extensively. should we change the component for this report?

Comment 4 Jochen Schmitt 2008-04-24 18:24:48 UTC
Thank you for your work. As far as I see, it's seem to be a OpenGL driver issue.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 09:58:08 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 6 Dustin Steiner 2008-05-25 17:34:57 UTC
I also get the Segmentation-fault-error on starting blender

Compiled with Python version 2.5.1.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
/usr/bin/blender: line 46: 10187 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/blender.bin $@

Comment 7 amorilia 2008-05-26 12:09:38 UTC
Just to confirm that I'm also experiencing this issue on my laptop running
Fedora 9, which has an intel 855GM chipset. The error message is exactly as in
Lorenzo's post. The problem remained after updating to Blender 2.46 from the
fedora testing repository.

Comment 8 Mustafa Mohammed 2008-07-05 22:01:53 UTC
yes I have the same problem with my system
I'm using intel driver my video card is 865G

Comment 9 David Chipman 2008-07-08 18:44:10 UTC
I am also having trouble with Blender. My video device is:
 Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device

Blender terminal output:
Compiled with Python version 2.5.1.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
/usr/bin/blender: line 46:  8756 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/blender.bin $@

Hi  all, 

Cana somebody tell me what's going on with this bug? Some of us would really
like to get our Blender back. Thanks

-David

Comment 14 François Cami 2008-12-11 22:58:49 UTC
David, does is still crash in up to date FC9 ?

Alternatively, could you try FC10 ?
In FC10 you can disable 3D acceleration by setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE="yes", that may serve as a workaround.

Comment 15 Matěj Cepl 2009-01-29 01:56:19 UTC
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

Comment 16 François Cami 2009-03-02 20:56:53 UTC
Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
Note that I cannot reproduce on an up-to-date F10 as of 20090102.
