primusrun blender not working

[undeadindustries]

I went through the old issues to see if any of the old fixes worked. They didn't...

Blender works great without primusrun. Other apps work great with primusrun.

Here's what I get with using primusrun blender. I've tried changing PRIMUS_SYNC etc.

Thank you!!!

Is this still happening? Does this happen straight after running primusrun blender? Does it works with optirun -b virtualgl blender or optirun -b primus blender? What is your distro, do you use nouveau or nvidia driver (and its version), mesa/kernel/intel versions?

[undeadindustries]

I actually stopped trying because I saw that the latest NVidia drivers allowed me to switch from Nvidia to Intel.

However, I did try optirun -b virtualgl blender or optirun -b primus blender with no success.

I was not able to reproduce (same blender version). I’m wondering whether this could be #166 (comment) and if your distro adopted this patch or not.
