Blender "Segmentation fault" on right click

atomkarinca · 2011-06-29 16:49:48

Hi.

These are the steps to get the segmentation fault:

- Open up Blender,
- Right click on the cube,
- Voila!

I tried a few forum suggestions: I created a video group (which already existed), I added my user to that group (which was already in that group), I copied /usr/share/blender to my ~/.blender. I still get this error. I'm using the Nouveau drivers and Openbox, by the way.

Here is my setup:

blender 1:2.58-1
openbox 3.4.11.2-2
xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.16_git20110531-1
kernel26 2.6.39.2-1

If you run blender from the console do you get any output other than "Segmentation fault" when the error occurs?

Unfortunately, no. But this is what I get when I do "blender -d":

blender -d

OK, I have tried the svn version to no avail. Then I tried the nvidia drivers instead of the nouveau ones, and it worked. So I guess this has got something to do with the nouveau drivers. I should report a bug to the developers.

Well, this is a bummer, I really don't like to use the blob drivers but I guess I have to, at least for a while.

For anyone bumping into the same error, I finally have a workaround (I guess).

It seems that the default output of mplayer (I guess it's xv) messes up the X. Instead, I have found the gl or gl_nosw outputs to be better. So you can try this by adding the line

vo=gl

or

vo=gl_nosw

to your ~/.mplayer/config file.
