In a konsole or from an icon Blender 2.49b fails to come up in KDE4 (kde4-4.3.85-1.1.i586) openSuSE 11.3, NVidia factory .run. Seems to be a KDE problem. Need a KDE BUG report?
Compiled with Python version 2.6.2. Checking for installed Python... got it! ERROR: Unable to open Blender window
As root or a user - it comes up and then disappears.
Blender-2.49b doesn't use any kde libraries at all. If you open a bug it will eventually get assigned to me, as I maintain it, so you should open a bug and assign it to davejplater@gmail.com. You can also find the beta blender-2.50 in :- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/plater:/blender/openSUSE_Fac...
which uses python3 instead of python-2.6. It's quite stable but it hasn't got a player yet because the upstream devs are still working on it and it won't build. There's a problem with linux-kernel-headers in factory ATM which is blocking the factory build but I haven't changed blender-2.49b for quite a while.
I did mean to imply it was KDE4 libs. it is with KDE4 hogging all of the screen functions and audio . Blender comes up almost full screen and then just blows up. Blender - Poof! Gone. I tried 2.49b just to see if it was a blender bug. However, A and B do the same thing. I bet if it was done in GNOME it might work.
2.50 fails as expected due to python3 not being on this system.
Python3 installs alongside python-2.6, I've got both installed. I have blender-2.50 installed and have an 11.2 system with kde4 factory desktop and libqt4-4.60 so it's sort of factory, I'm too busy updating packages to risk factory at this stage. You should try a minimalistic window manager like icewm to test for kde4 problems. By the way it was your complaint about blender being old a while back that got me involved in packaging.
