As far as I can see the OS indicated by this download seems to be wrong: It's Linux 64 bit alright, but not for the PPC platform.

$ file blender
blender: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped

gdawg

Oops my bad sorry:(

El Gros

Ok, I know that there is probably something stupid I do or I do not do, but it does not start at all. I am on Ubuntu 10.4, I double checked the permissions, I made sure that I can run it as an executable, there is nothing to do. When I click to start blender, nothing happens. Stand back, I will try science... Seriously, if someone can point me in a direction.

gdawg

i had the same problem.
so is this happening only on my builds?
try ( sudo apt-get install python3.1-dev )
i think that was it.

El Gros

You nailed it gdawg. I tried sudo apt-get install python3.1-dev and it works now. Thanks buddy !!!

gdawg

That is so cool, I'm glad i can help:)

iozk

this build don't works on ubuntu 9.10 64 bits WHY?

gdawg

@iozk

There are many things that can make it not work but you need to give me more info on the problem. Run it in a terminal what does it say? try reading the comments from Fish.
I have updated the build that might help.

gnu-stu

Can someone direct me to installation instruction site? i'm fairly new to linux and I would like to try a blender version newer than 2.49b on my linux box
Cheers

gdawg

What kind of instruction would you like?
how to run builds from graphicall?
how to compile blender?
or just using linux in general?

If 'limit selection to visible' is used with solid or textured viewpoint shading, a random vertex appears to be selected when right-clicking on the desired vertex. Running under Ubuntu 10.04 x64.

gdawg

If you think that is a bug report it to the bug tracker. "http://www.blender.org/development/report-a-bug/"

cre

Ok,

Sorry, I didn't realize bugs are posted there.

gdawg

no problem:)

The Fatsnacker

Had a problem running this one.

Opened up a terminal session into \blender25 folder and tried to run it. It came back with Blender not installed error message.

I sudo apt-get blender which installed 2.49b, but also all of the required libraries. This build now works

Jalik

Hello Guys, I got this error and since i am on ubuntu 10.04, I can't run blender 2.5, but I can 2.49.. do you know what is the problem ?

I have not seen that before. Is it the same from the builds from Fish?

iozk

this build tells me that need this libfftw3.so.3 where i find it?

gdawg

try this build. "WITH_BF_FFTW3 = False"
if you want libfftw3.so.3 go to synaptic and search for libfftw3.

stud3nt

thanks

Good job, running in Ubuntu Studio Lucid Lynx 10.04 64 bit.
Thanks.

Groeteel

Good job,

I'll try this build.

God bless you ~~

Oh~~~
your update almost immediately

YOUR are the bestest builder.

If you are having problems, try putting this into your terminal:

sudo apt-get install \
libxi-dev libsndfile1-dev \
libpng12-dev libfftw3-dev \
libopenexr-dev libopenjpeg-dev \
libopenal-dev libalut-dev libvorbis-dev\

Hi loopduplicate
thanks for the answer.

gnu-stu

@gdawg, sorry for the slow response (and dumb question), I've now figured out how to run builds from graphicall on my debian "squeeze" 64bit linux box ... hoorah!!!

Loopduplicate - installing those packages doesn't help on ubuntu Karmic. Blender still complains following

twohot

Tried this build on Fedora 13 x86_64 (out of curiosity). I got:
./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I guess libtiff.so.4 is a debian thing. So, no worries.

gdawg

try looking for just "libtiff" or "libtiff4" not libtiff.so.4

Yaroslav_L

Works fine, but where is OSA (Anti-Aliasing)???

twohot

"libtiff" or "libtiff4" still yeilds no result. Like the package doesn't exist. Which package provides that in debian? Maybe I can find the yum equivalent.

gdawg

@twohot
"http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Doc/Building_Blender/Linux/Fedora_12/Scons"
"yum install libtiff-devel" dependencies from Fedora 12

@Yaroslav_L
On the render tab under the render dimensions.

Paulo Bardes

Thanks for the builds! How about these images as splash:

Did you make that grass in blender? It looks real:)

Paulo Bardes

Yeah, I used a trick I learned from Blender Guru and another from a feather tutorial...

.blend > http://www.blendswap.com/3D-models/scenes/grass-hills/

Paulo Bardes

Yay, thanks for using my imege! :D

Joe

Sorry for double post, but where can I find the "unlimited clay" - doesnt seem to be in this build, is it?

Mario Mey

Why doesn't any build has the bone driven shapes keys working in BGE?

gdawg

@Joe
nothing has changed sins this build. and unlimited clay is not in the trunk yet just fyi.
"http://graphicall.org/builds/builds/showbuild.php?action=show&id=1409"

@Mario Mey
I do not Know why, a lot of the time thing brake from the changes like lately i have problems building blender because of the changes being made. you should see if it is in the bug tracker if it is not report it:)
(http://www.blender.org/development/report-a-bug/"

Robin

Hi I am experiencing a trouble with baking normals in 2.5 builds as witnessed in the following picture

http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=4519

Is there anything I have to be aware of that has changed in 2.5 recently?

By the way someone should contact a developer to look at the baking code. If you press the "bake" button several times, Blender crashes.

gdawg

@Robin

It looks like if you select the low poly first that might help. I would try the second part of this tutorial:
http://www.blendercookie.com/2010/07/15/a-stylized-dragon-part-5/
and you can let the devs Know about that bug at:
"http://www.blender.org/development/report-a-bug/"
best of luck:)

Paulo Bardes

Works in Ubuntu 10.04

Mario Mey

Yeah, I already posted that topic about shapes keys in BGE in the but tracker. Thanks for the reply.

Joe

Thanks for the build, will try it right now.

I hope some of those issues are fixed..

Crashes all over the place since offical beta 3 and followup revisions:
Crash when having a complex scene open, then opening a new one
Crash after rendering a HD-image when trying to save it (most anoying)
Crashes on smoke stuff, smoke cache doesnt load from external file, even so blender states as "valid 300 frames"
I just baked smoke for 3h, then rendered 1h an image. When I tryed to save the rendered image, blender crashed. When I tryed to reload the smoke cache, nothing happens.

This occured multiple times on different computers, all running ubuntu 10.04 64bit.

gdawg

@Paulo Bardes
I had noticed you left it in the bug tracker thank you:)

@Joe
let me know if things work out:) and if you can replicate the bug let the devs knew it helps a lot:)
http://www.blender.org/development/report-a-bug/

Joe

@gdawg

Yeah I will do so and encourage everybody else to do the same -
Blender´s got in the main menu under "help" a link to report a bug, which leads you to the right website.. you need to register, but no big deal.
I recently reported a bug which is fixed now, just a week later, thats increadible. With commercial software you cant even think of this!

Toady

Whenever I start rendering with LuxRender, it just comes up black. Here is the terminal ouput after first starting Blender:

[Lux 2010-Aug-21 20:31:26] WARNING: LuxFire/Pyro library not available.

And here is the terminal output after trying to render:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

gdawg

you need to turn off relative paths in user prefs file tab then check run renderer in the render tab under luxrender engine configuration, then set the path to your luxrender executable.

Toady

That did the trick, but now I have a new question (newbish). What do I have to do to get to the material settings in LuxRender?

gdawg

so that blender looks like this:)
http://www.pasteall.org/pic/5236

gdawg

I have not played around with it that much but as far as changing the color of an object i just change it in the material tap.

Toady

Yeah I've got the settings correct now, I believe. In 2.49b there was a script you ran that had all the LuxRender material settings, hdr/lighting settings etc. Is that not accessible in 2.5 anymore? I guess I can't use the 2.49b script due to the different versions of python?

gdawg

the thing is that the luxrender exporter is still very much in development so some things may not be there:)

Toady

No problem, I appreciate all the help. And thanks for including the exporter in your build. It is a step in the right direction.

Toady

Oh I see now. The material settings get baked right in to the blender gui. That is a nice touch. I was expecting to see the old LuxRender outdated gui settings window.

gdawg

Yes the new gui is realy nice and you are welcome:)

Paulo Bardes

The builds doesn't have indirect lighting?

I'm getting:
./blender: error while loading shared libraries: libgettextlib-0.17.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Looks like gdawg needs to update his gettext library. I have 0.18.1 here ... (okay, downloading 0.17 ... but update soon sir)

gdawg

@twohot
So I am having some trouble getting or compiling gettext 0.18.1:(
So I was wondering how you have it? And what distro you have? That would be cool:)

zeffii

hey lovely builds, but this week i've been having trouble editing the kb shortcuts for input/3dview/mesh ->wm.context_set_value , nothing happens when i fill that field, where i would expect additional fields to appear for the toolsetting and booleans

wintermute

maybe someone could be compiling a windows build for blender/luxrender for the linux noobs ;)

Hi !
I just downloaded this file and when I open blender I have this message :
[Lux 2010-Sep-05 07:47:20] WARNING: LuxFire/Pyro library not available.

Can you help me please.

gdawg

@shine

I am getting the same thing:(
The script I made that I use to build blender automatically gets the most up to date version of the exporter and some of the changes may have broke the exporter.

Olson

I'm getting the same thing here on ubuntu 10.04. Glad it's not just me though. Hope you get it fixed soon gdawg, let us know? Peace.

Paulo Bardes

Nice splash image! but the luxrender isn't working...

gdawg

@Paulo Bardes

GRRRR!!!!!

Olson

Yeah it's not.. sorry gdawg.. ubuntu 10.04 64bit here

Joe

Luxrender starts for me but then stops with
[2010-09-09 18:17:52 Severe error: 47] Parsing error in file 'luxtest.Scene.00001.lxs' at line 3: syntax error

I looked in the scene file, in line 3 is the Renderer defined (Sampler / Hybrid)

OberonKing

Yes, same here......

Parsing error in file 'luxtest.Scene.00001.lxs' at line 3: syntax error

With any scene, new or not....

OberonKing

Well, playing a bit with Scene.00001.lxs it work.... but no from blender

If open the file and comment line 3: #Render "sampler"

save and open with Luxrender (not blender) it works

gdawg

@OberonKing

yes if you have luxrender 0.7 it will do that but if you get 0.8 from "http://www.luxrender.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=4520&start=0" it works amazing I have had no problems:)
Plus the CPU + GPU computing option is FAST.
