Description of problem: When changing desktops (I'm running KDE4 if it's relevent) while running Blender, it crashes when I change to another desktop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): blender-2.47-5.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Very (didn't happen once, but hasn't not crashed since then). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Blender 2. Change virtual desktop 3. Blender isn't there when returning Actual results: Blender disappears with the following output to the terminal: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 73 (X_GetImage) Serial number of failed request: 352 Current serial number in output stream: 352 Expected results: Blender should keep running on the other desktop
It may be nice, if you can tryout the blender-2.48a package.
I have tried to reproduced your issue with blender-2.48a. I couldn't rise a crash, so I will close this bug. Please update to blender-2.48a.
I tried 2.48a and it still occurs. Different error this time: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 42 (X_SetInputFocus) Serial number of failed request: 226 Current serial number in output stream: 227 The (or one) trigger seems to be if you change desktops as the window appears (start in terminal and immediately change to another desktop as blender starts drawing). It may be something different, but it guarantees a crash here.
I'm very unhappy to hear this. Unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce you reported bug, so I have to asume, that this is an issue with your graphic adapter. Question: Which graphic adapter do you use? I'm using the properitary graphic driver from nvidia (177.82).
I'm using the nv driver. $ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nv xorg-x11-server-common xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.8-1.fc9.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.2-3.fc9.x86_64 I know it's not up to date with the latest of the nv driver, but it has problems of its own (DPI I suspect; fonts are bigger than they should be)
> $ rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-nv xorg-x11-server-common > xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.8-1.fc9.x86_64 > xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.2-3.fc9.x86_64 I would to suggest, that you may try out the properitary nvidia driver from rpmfusion. For Blender it's very important, that the driver has a very good OpenGL support. AFAIK the nv driver doesn't fullfill this requirement.
I have close this bug, becouse from my experience this is a issue with the open source nv grapich driver.
Then it should be reassigned, not closed.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
After updating to F10 (using xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.3-6.fc10.x86_64), it seems to have be fixed. Will reopen if it occurs again. Thanks.
Hope this isn't too far off topic, but found this bug because I was having a similar problem, and thought I'd add my findings. I'm running Gentoo, with evilwm as window manager, and if I run blender in a minimized (i.e. not full screen) window, with a portion of the window off the screen, I get this error every time as soon as I type b (box-select). If I ensure that the window is either maximized (full screen), or fully within the desktop area, the problem does not occur. Hope this helps...
