The segfault pointed to the videodriver so I tried the inteldriver from this ppa: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main.
This action stops blender from crashing, the fact remains that the default intel driver (package: xserver-xorg-video-intel) doesn't work well with blender. Should I close the bug now? -- blender crashes right after startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
