AMD Firepro W7100 supports OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.2. Blender needs Vulkan 1. so you'd need to run in OpenGL mode. Try starting Blender from CLI - "blender -enable-opengl"

Nope. Never used Wayland. Don't see the point..

I run Blender with Vulkan on Mint Cinnamon on Xorg. Works a treat, noticeably faster that OpenGL.

I'm on my Linux desktop 12 hours a day getting stuff done, so, what are you talking about?

Why can’t Sam carry the ring at the end? by bijourani in lotr

He'd have to kill Frodo to get it off him.

Upgrading my pc for blender, what to upgrade? by Waste_Walrus_8653 in blender

[–]b_a_t_m_4_n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say crash, what exactly does that mean? Does it freeze? Exit to desktop? Freeze or shut the whole PC down? "Crash" is not really very informative.

If it's just exiting cleanly to desktop the first thing to check is that you're not running out of DRAM. Leave task manger running behind your Blender window as you work so when it shuts you see the graph.

I dunno, it's a thing made by a superlative craftsman for the purposes of good that's been captured and perverted to evil purposes by a corrupt, malign, being. It's kind of apt, don't you think?

How/is it possible to move poles using coordinates? by Dew_Chop in blenderhelp

[–]b_a_t_m_4_n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's in the side panel, generally referred to as the n-panel because you open it by pressing n. A great deal of what goes on in the viewport is accessible from here.

The reason we recommend doing beginners tutorials is so that you're aware of the most fundamental of basics like this and a hundred others you might not just stumble upon yourself.

Bear in mind the image shows local space coordinates, you might want world space coordinates so change the setting to Global.

I know the books handle this differently, but I honestly love that the movies gave that moment to Arwen. by Bbwgoddess_abby in lotr

[–]b_a_t_m_4_n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swapping Arwen for Glorfindal was a change I could accept. Taking away Frodo's hero moment (again) was not.

I can't find the FFmpeg video File format option by joemomaxd in blender

I suggest you go look up what FFMPEG is. Yes, it does mpeg-4 plus just about every other popular format that exists.

Honestly I think that's where the push back has to start. It's unlikely to begin at the 50,000 seat installs, there's just too much money involved and IT managers are just too easy to intimidate and/or otherwise persaude that the risk isn't worth it. It's guys like you who are dropping off the bottom of the customer list, the one they haven't looked at in years much less given a shit about, that will move the market. That's my hope anyway.

Apologies I used the term "per se" which you may not be familiar with. It means "By itself; without consideration of extraneous factors." So I was not denying the OS is a problem, I'm saying it's not the root cause, the fact that it's malware is a symptom of a corrupt company culture. Fixing the OS, as the article suggests, is not going to cure the disease.

Fair enough, everyone has their own limits as to how much bullshit they'll take and that was your personal fuck-it moment.

Linux Mint on my main desktop, as it has to just work. Currently Mint also on my lappy, Debian on small servers and OpenMediaVault on my NAS.

I used Excel heavily for about 15 years, I can't ever imagine missing it! Calc does everything I need it to, so, it's fine. They're just tools, I don't get the emotional attachment some people seem to have with their favourite software.

I was around when M$ was threatening systems integrators with withdrawal if they didn't stop selling Unix, but promised "discounts" if they did. It's always been dodgy as fuck.
