PostPosted: Tue Nov 21, 2006 8:09 pm    Post subject: [SOLVED] blender segmentation fault Reply with quote

Recently when I tried to start blender it gave me such error:

Quote:

michal@home ~ $ blender
guessing 'blender' == '/usr/bin/blender'
Compiled with Python version 2.4.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
Segmentation fault


I have found similar thread but it seems it is related to problem with ATI drivers (I am using Nvidia 4200 TI + nvidia-drivers-1.0.9629).

Thinking it might be a python problem I tried to download and run precompiled executables:
Quote:

blender-2.42a-linux-glibc232-py23-i386
blender-2.42a-linux-glibc232-py23-i386-static


One (first) version segfaults:
Quote:

guessing './blender' == '/home/michal/Desktop/blender exe/blender-2.42a-linux-glibc232-py23-i386/./blender'
Compiled with Python version 2.3.
Checking for installed Python... got it!
Segmentation fault


But static version runs without problems.

Blender quit



So... What can I do in this situation ?

it could be that some dependency library is compiled with too agressive flags? Run an strace on it. Also please post your emerge --info

Could you try compiling it with just
Code:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer


Some of your CFLAGS are redundant and are already contained in the -march (mmx, etc)

dr_fell,

same card, same xorg, having same prob. Does seem to be 3D related.

many things up in the air right now. Just had to revert older board after AN7 uGuru wiped my BIOS for me. :evil:

I had this GeForce4 on this mobo great but that's going back a good while before I did modular xorg, gcc 4.1 and probably two or three kernel changes. :?

do you get anything odd in boot log. I am getting a shit load of udev_run_devd failures that I have not tracked down yet.

Need to start pulling some stuff.

Have either of you tried the xorg GL implementation, just to get you blendering for now?

just swapped in a GeForce2 card this works fine with glxgears etc. This card causes xorg to print a message about it not supporting Xcomposite. This may be a clue to where the GF4 was segfaulting.

I also recall some issue with the nvidia drivers on modular xorg that I linked to on the forum but cannnot remember details.

now we see the true cause of this problem it looks like this should be in kernel and hardware thread. 8)

you may want to add a comment to this on the nvidia forum:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=5d442d1a69ea4ef850e7908fe4db0612&t=81089

this also may help.

So it seems it's known bug now, bug affecting NV 2x GPU's. I'll try to install older version of drivers tommorow.

EDIT: This could be usefull too...

So... does it mean that Nvidia wants to remove NV 2x support from nvidia-drivers and move it to legacy drivers soon ? It seems that new version of drivers just doesn't support NV2x GPU's, maybe (by mistake) a bit before Nvidia wnats it officially :>

So yes - it's nvidia-drivers bug. Downgrading to nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776 solved the problem. Thanks !

Be aware that 8776 wont compile on 2.6.18 kernels. Currently only 9626 will work on recent kernels and that has been removed from portage. If anyone needs it you will have to mess about in the cvs archive and add it to your portage overlay.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154817

cool this is "resolved" as WONTFIX" , very helpful.

If you think that is unhelpful you may wish to add a comment to the bug report. Certainally wasted enough of everyone's time here. :roll:

Thanks, it clears situation even more. As for me, I have been living without AIGLX for now, so downgrading doesn't hurt, I can wait for bug-free release of nvidia-drivers :)

Hi,

looks like 8776 (luckily) still works on 2.6.18 (gentoo-r3)

Code:
aiace ~ # uname -a
Linux aiace 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 #1 PREEMPT Sat Nov 25 14:26:05 CET 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux


Code:
aiace ~ # dmesg | tail -n 1
NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 Kernel Module  1.0-8776  Mon Oct 16 21:56:04 PDT 2006


Legacy drivers are.............. old. :(

This is hurting my fondness of NVIDIA... (ok, they can't support my card forever and ever but....................)

I was sure I'd already been through that and found it was known due to a kernel change. Maybe gentoo kernel patches it ? You prove me wrong. Good news.

Hmm, I dislike the kind of second-class citizen snear behind this use of legacy. I really dont need a 6000 fps 150 euro gfx card for a non games machine , most of the time a 64M Geforce2 is amply powerful with the BIG plus that it does not need a 15W/64dB blower on it.

It's not legacy , it's an appropriate level of hardware for the job.


If I wanted to get caught up in OS upgrade -> hardware upgrade -> OS upgrade loop I would be using Windose not Linux.

I appreciate Nvidia for showing a serious commitment to linux support . If there are a few glitches in certain versions I think it's upto portage to maintain sufficient choice that our hardware is usable on Gentoo, rather than being too keen to trim the tree.
