Blender?

Hi folks,

i installed Blender from the package manager, the little shortcut is there but it won’t run.

From the command line i enter $ blender
and get the following -
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object “libaom.so.2” not found, required by “libavcodec.so.58”

I’ve tried installing but no joy?

Upgrade your packages (pkg upgrade). If it still doesn’t work, reinstall blender:

# pkg delete blender
# pkg autoremove
# pkg install blender

Hi and thanks, thought it was maybe a Python thing but it seems to be my hardware, i’m getting a different issue now -
$ blender
[ALSOFT] (EE) Failed to set real-time priority for thread: Operation not permitted (1)
Error! Unsupported graphics card or driver.
A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher is required.
The program will now close.

Are you running NomadBSD 1.4? If that’s the case see OpenGL support?

Hi,

Yup using 1.4 (12.2-RELEASE-p4)
did as instructed (i think?)

cd /etc/rc.d/

fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nomadbsd/NomadBSD/master/config/etc/rc.d/initgfx

it downloads 9183 bytes
rm -f /var/initgfx_config.id
reboot and same error
A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher is required.
The program will now close.
i tried sudo freebsd-update fetch install
it found 9 patches .

Sorry to be a pain but did i execute the instructions correctly? i’m still stuck at the outdated OpenGL version

That seems correct. You can install mesa-demos (pkg install mesa-demos), and run glxinfo to check if GLX is available, and it shows the version (glxinfo | grep -i version).

Hi and thanks.
did as suggested -
BSD$ glxinfo | grep -i version
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.4
Version: 20.2.3
Max core profile version: 0.0
Max compat profile version: 2.1
Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
Max GLES[23] profile version: 2.0
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 20.2.3
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 20.2.3
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16

I suppose your graphics card is too old to run blender.

Hahaha, yeah, i guess that shouldn’t be any big surprise really, it did ship with Win 7 after al…

Thanks a ton
