blender

Hi all

I am still running 3.0 on an Inspiron 3800 and I installed blender from the packagemanager;  unfortunately, it will not launch.  I can click on it in the menu, but nothing happens.  Any thoughts on  this?  I can  paste something in paste bin, but it's been awhile since I have been here.

Thanx!

Open terminal

Find the command to start the program:

[c]grep -i exec= /usr/share/applications/blender.desktop[/c]

Hit Enter

Type the command after the Exec= in terminal,hit the Enter key

If the program won't start post any errors.

Re: blender

Blender won't run unless the video cards GPU is direct-rendering 3D OpenGL to the display:

Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

intern/ghost/intern/GHOST_WindowX11.cpp:177: X11 glxChooseVisual() failed for OpenGL, verify working openGL system!

I was never able to get direct-rendering to work on Slitaz 3.0 on my dell laptop with intel graphics.

My desktop with an nvidia 8400gs required the nvidia proprietary driver to direct-render.
