%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---
Kubuntu 13.10 (64-bit), Radeon HD-7850

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

2.69+svn60966

- Short description of error ---

For the 1st time Blender just crashes when running on my linux system (Kubutu 13.10, 64-bit). :(
I have got message like:
"connect failed: No such file or directory
Writing: /tmp/blender.crash.txt
Segfault (core dumped)."

I have installed Blender via terminal and PPA and in the past it worked without such problems (on Mint14 i 15 KDE 64-bit).

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

Just trying to run and every time it hangs immediately.

%%%This seems graphics driver related issue.

The Gallium3D driver uses LLVM, but LLVM used by the driver sometimes causes problems like this. So, I guess you can avoid the crash by using AMD's proprietary driver.

Anyway, could you try the official builds?

2.69 release: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
daily build: http://builder.blender.org/download/

%%%Heavily looks like a driver issue (or perhaps an LLVM one)…

First of all, please test with official builds (http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.69/) before reporting such kind of bug, these are the only reference ones.

Also, what do you mean, “installed via terminal”??? Did you meant that you compiled Blender? In this case, did you use install_deps.sh script before?%%%

%%%I use offical tested driver from Xwindow Xorg (recommended by developers of (K)Ubuntu.

Well, I type in terminal something like:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:irie/blender
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender

that's what I meant "installed via terminal" (=console)

So, should I remove Blender I got, and install official version 2.69 ?
I surprised of the situation because in some older version of *ubunt (Mint) installing through PPA went always fine.

%%%No, you do not need to uninstall your "distro" blenders to test official builds, they are self-contained and do not need any installation, just download the archive, unpack it, and in the created dir, execute blender binary.

PS: sudo apt-get install blender will simply install the “official distro” package of Blender, which is not the same as the one we distribute (distro packages nearly never use static linking, for obvious size reasons, while our builds are (nearly) fully statically linked, meaning they have virtually no dependencies).%%%

%%%@Bastien, the PPA build Michal uses is my own build, not distro's official one. I'll investigate it.%%%

%%%In my own build, OSL uses LLVM 3.2, while the graphic driver uses LLVM 3.3. Both of them are dynamically linked.

Perhaps the different versions of LLVM library cause symbol conflicts when linking them. If so, Blender needs to fix because the dynamic linking is officially supported (indeed there is "LLVM_STATIC" CMake option) and the problem affects most distros.

@IRIEShinsuke - Thanks a lot for your attention and (successful) investigation!!! Now on my Kubuntu system Bledner from your repository updates and runs without any problems!!!!!!
Hope it will be forever like this! :)

@IRIEShinsuke

Sorry to bother you, but the problem has appeared again...
Nowadays I switched to Mint16 KDE 64-bit and cannot use Blender - it crashes at start.
My hardware is the same as before (mentioned in this thread)
Here is "crash.txt" log:

@IRIEShinsuke

You did it again! Pure MAGIC! :)
Yesterday, after auto-updating Blender from your repository (on Linux Mint16 KDE 64-bit),
it ran successfully at last!
I really, really hope you keep it permanently!!!
