Blender symbol lookup error in TW on kernel 5.13.6+

As of at least kernel 5.13.6_1 in tumbleweed, blender will not open for me. I have tried in both 5.13.6_1 and 5.13.8_1, and have tried tumbleweed 20210807 and 20210810, and blender consistently returns

blender: symbol lookup error: blender: undefined symbol: __glewXChooseFBConfig

upon attempted startup. I have also tried both blender 2.93LTS and 2.91, and both have the same result.

Is this happening for anyone else? Is there a workaround available? I’m fairly new to Linux in general, and even newer to any openSuse distros, so I’m not sure what other troubleshooting steps to take. I also apologize if this post isn’t formatted correctly, as this is my first post here.

I’m having the same issue on tumbleweed. I can run a version of blender downloaded from the Blender website (2.93) and it starts just fine but when I go to render in both eevee or cycles it crashes with the following error:

[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
blender: xcb_io.c:269: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost’ failed.

If I use iceWM (installed by default) I can start my downloaded version of blender and render just fine.
The version provided by opensuse still doesn’t work at all.

And both versions crash under KDE.
On opensuse leap 15.3 it all worked just fine.

Another victim here. Full disclosure I didn’t dig into it deeply but I didn’t see anything out of place in the shared libraries. Having said that, if you don’t necesairly need the most bleeding edge blender, you could grab an appimage(at least as a temporary solution) from this repo. 2.90 is working absolutely fine.

Hi guys,

Aren’t you using proprietary Nvidia drivers by accident? BTW, SupertuxKart is also affected:

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1189440

I got my drivers from the nVvidia Graphics Drivers repo. I believe that is the community maintained one, but I could be mistaken. I also can confirm that the issue persists in TW 20210817

I’m having this same issue with Intel UHD graphics, so I don’t think it has to do with GPU drivers.

Hi,
I am using the blender 2.93.3 downloaded from blender website.
I am using nvidia on the latest tumbleweed snapshot and seems not having the said problem.

I have same problem and NOW It works well with 2.93.3, thank you!

Good to hear.

Hi,

unfortunately i have to confirm same issue with Blender. The downloaded runtime version from blender home page works well. I operate a PC with Leap 15.2 within my network as well. On this runs blender v 2.82 and works well.

Cheers

The issue seems to be fixed with the recent update to 5.13.12_2.1

Yes, i can confirm, it seems to work well right now.

Cheers
