Blender crashing when I turn LuxBlend on

semhustej · February 21, 2014, 11:26am

Hello.
I am running OpenSUSE 13.1 64bit, upgraded (dup) from 12.3. I am using Blender 2.69 program, I downloaded the binary from www.blender.org. I also use luxrender 1.3.1 from luxrender.net. Part of the luxrender program is LuxBlend add-on for Blender. Both of these programs run from my home directory, they are ment to run like that.
I was happily using these two programs up until I installed Blender 2.69 form ‘Graphics’ repository. After I installed it, the binary (downloaded from blender.org) Blender always crashed, when I tried to turn on luxblend add-on. In the Blender version form ‘Graphics’ repo I can turn on the luxblend add-on, but Blender crashes when I try to edit materials. So I uninstalled Blender from ‘Graphics’ repo, but the problem preserved.
When I try to run Blender from terminal, it points me to a crash file after it crashes. The file states this:
Crash report form the downladed version:

This gives me no clue of what the problem might be, does anyone have any idea? I tried Luxrender forums but got no reply.
I have another computer with OpenSUSE 13.1 and both of these programs (binary downloaded versions) which run properly. So the problem probably is Blender from ‘Graphics’ repo changing something.
Is there a way to see which packages or files were changed when installing Blender from ‘Graphics’ repo? In Yast I found history, but there’s just the name and version of installed package.

Update of my situation:
I found zypper log in /var/log/zypp/history file. The packages installed together with Blender 2.69 from ‘Graphics’ repo were libOpenCOLLADA0 and libboost_locale1_49_0 so I uninstalled them (no other packages depended on these). This didn’t resolve the issue.

On my other machine (fresh isntall of OpenSUSE 13.1), I tried to duplicate my problem - installed Blender 2.69 from ‘Graphics’ repo. Here, this version crashes with luxblend add-on too, but the downloaded binary version of Blender works fine. So the installation of Blender 2.69 from ‘Graphics’ repo is not what caused the problem, as I thought. But now I have really no idea, what the problem might be.

Doing an upgrade via dup may leave obsolete config and cache files. This can cause all sorts of weird problems. I always do a fresh install to simply be sure I have cleaned out all the old stuff. I keep 2 partitions for root so I can alternate with versions and be able to drop back if need be. It normally only take a short amount of time to install non default apps so I just install again as I need them.

Yes, I know dup can create some problems, but up to this point it worked fine for me. I am not even sure this problem was caused by dup, I upgraded two months ago, but I didn’t use LuxRender since then.
I was trying to avoid reinstalling, but it seems I will have to. I have a separate /home partition, so reinstall shouldn’t be a big deal.
