When trying to install blender with zypper I end up with dependency problem(image provided). From looking into it a little bit I can see libaudaspace-c1_7 is available, but libaudaspace-c.so.1.6 which is required by blender is not available. Any solutions to this? (I know one solution to this is to use blender flatpak, but would prefer zypper version)
Blender does not build on Tumbleweed, but the dependcies have been build.
So in Tumbleweed is an blender Version which is build against now nonexistant dependencies.

My solution has been to run Blender from Steam - that works just fine, and it supports the use of CUDA for rendering with Cycles when installed that way as well.

Will it be resolved with (near) future update maybe?
Thanks for the reply
I understand, but I don’t really use steam for anything else, so that seems like “flatpak” like solution. If possible I would prefer to have it installed with zypper.
Thanks for the response.
It is - and flatpak would be an option as well.
Ultimately it’s your call as to how you want to install and run blender. If you have an immediate need and can’t wait for a fix, Steam or Flatpak is an option that gets you there while you wait for the dependency issue to be addressed, if there’s a plan to do so. Just providing an option.

I use Blender directly from their website because the Tumbleweed version doesn’t have oneAPI support for my Intel GPU(did’t last time I checked).
You’ll get the newest version and it works without any problems. Sometimes that’s not the case though. I had to wait for TW Intel drivers to be updated before I could run 4.4 with GPU acceleration, but my 4.3 still worked fine.
Blender 4.4 with GPU acceleration works on Intel ARC A750 now.

My workaround:
zypper --non-interactive addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/frispete:/blender/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:frispete:blender.repo
rpm --import https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/frispete:/blender/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/repodata/repomd.xml.key
zypper in blender
Thanks to frispete for the repo!

Blender is one of the ODD cases , in that you really DO need to use the prebiult from the blender site . just unzip it into your home folder and run it
