It is not as easy, on top of that 2.79 will currently only receive critical bug fixes.

@Sergey Sharybin (sergey) mind taking a peek here?

Still can't repro on win 7, it'll maximize the window before i can get even close to the X . That being said, if this solves the issue on win10. looks good to me.

How do i reproduce the issue? i tried minimizing blender and then right clicking on the taskbar, closing it with the X and hoovering on the taskbar and clicking the X there, both closed properly and blender.exe disappeared from the task list.

please stop triaging your own ticket, I put it to the right status for you, in the future just leave it be, the people triaging the tracker will assign it for you.

that looks like a distro build, does the official build from https://www.blender.org work?

Please follow our submission template and guidelines and make a complete, valid bug report, with required info, precise description of the issue, precise steps to reproduce it, small and simple .blend and/or other files to do so if needed, etc.

I redirected you the right place to ask the developers questions/guidance, the bug tracker is not it, please try to avoid using is like that

that may well be, but that doesn't mean it belongs on the bug tracker, you may be better served on https://devtalk.blender.org/

You misunderstood brecht a tiny bit there, we don't track todo's/feature requests on this tracker, hence he told you not to post it here. there's also this warning in the report a bug page to discourage people from doing it anyway.

Holding this one off till we drop msvc2013, it's just not worth the hassle.

Windows lacks this header, so this will have to be guarded by an #if defined, you can probably extend the one 3 lines below your patch

I'm not sure how to help you, something is clearly wrong but beyond suggesting to try a newer build from http://builder.blender.org i'm out of ideas.

oh boy... hmm easiest is probably right clicking your blender shortcut, go to properties and it should list the path to blender in the 'Target' box, type that command into your cmd.exe prompt

Try running it from the command prompt and see if there's a more informative error message you can share.

@jb reulet (gribs) , please do not triage your self, it's easier to manage if we do that.

When rendering with OSL it compiles the shaders to native code and executes that, the SVM shader stack isn't used

the master build listed on that page has many more features than the official 2.79, one of them being volta support.

Yes, but only for 2.8 since it's very early in it's development. 2.79 is fully supported any anyone can file bugs

Looks like you're running on mesa? did you by any chance drop a opengl32.dll in your blender folder?

2.79 5bd8ac9 is quite old, please try 2.79b and/or a build from http://builder.blender.org and see if the problem persists.

Is this with the standard cube or with a very large scene?

Thank you for the report. Currently we are aware of many issues in 2.8 and actively working to fix them. But since replying to reports takes time, we have decided to limit bug reports to module team members.

The only builds of blender that support the compute 7.0 cards are the nightly builds at https://builder.blender.org, give those a try.

looks like it's picking up a stray dll from somewhere, try closing blender and temporary renaming

can't speak for linux but, installing any binary python addon is gonna be troublesome on windows, due to blender copy being compiled with the msvc2013 compiler while the official one is build using msvc2015, if there's any crt object (file handle, pointer, etc etc) passed between the two run-times things will go south rather quickly, and besides suggesting you grab a vc14 build off the build bot, there's really nothing I can do about it.

looks like you don't have cmake installed or as @Aaron Carlisle (Blendify) suggested not in your path, that being said, from the page you used to file this bug.

Please run blender from the command prompt to see if there's a better error message.

This card is still supported in the official released blender 2.79/a/b , however going forward CUDA support for these cards has been dropped by nvidia,hence it's not available in the buildbot builds.

from the bug report page

please do not re-open tickets.

@LazyDodo (LazyDodo) I could do the fix myself, but I was not sure what really wanted to do Campbell, so I decided rise a concern.

I had the same idea but after people kept bugging me about it, i went enough is enough and fixed it, given he broke the build and then disappeared for atleast 2 days i think i made the right call.

I think we've seen this before, if i remember i saw someone resolve this by right clicking the blender shortcut and selecting what gpu to launch on, but since i don't have this setup i really can't offer any more details than that.

i push a fix reverting just the changes in imbuf,, I would have let @Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) sort it out, but after the 7th person bugged me about it I lost patience.

I'm running out of ways to communicate that we're currently not taking any 2.8 bugs at this moment in time.

we ship with tkinter disabled, however we have been doing this since before i took over as platform maintainer, @Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) you remember the history on this?

this is a packaging error on ubuntu, nothing we can do about that from our side, grab a build from http://www.blender.org and it'll work.

It's unclear from this report what gpu you have, however.

can confirm on latest master. @Bastien Montagne (mont29) yours?

doesn't seem like the attached .blend is using any of the video files, (or i'm not bright enough to figure out how to reset the paths) if you could attach a .blend file where we just have to hit 'render animation' to get the problem to show that be appreciated.

• bli_path_util: deprecate the use of getenv.

seems like you have forgotten to attach the file.

seems reasonable enough, and it will be familiar for window/mac users.

While i'm not on the UI team, i am on the windows platform team. and i'm pretty sure i brought this up in the previous review. However the ui guidelines for dialog boxes has the following recommendations.

script is by @Vuk Gardašević (lijenstina) for testing D2918

1. this keeps happening because you keep making new tickets, you had one ticket on this, that one i marked 'incomplete' due to the poor quality of the bug report with a link to further explain how to make a good bug report. any further reports of this same bug WILL be closed as duplicates.

Can confirm on master. 2.79 seems fine. looks alike a null deref in rna_Property_tags_itemf , @Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) mind taking a peek here?

Can confirm the issue on windows, was a 246MB

agree to disagree then i suppose? I'm not doubting that you are having issues with starting blender 2.8, however the bug that was the root cause for this (9 month old!!) ticket has been fixed, there's many others bugs currently in 2.8 and we're working hard to fix those. Just to clarify

Thank you for the report. Currently we are aware of many issues in 2.8 and actively working to fix them. But since replying to reports takes time, we have decided to limit bug reports to module team members.

The bug that caused opengl to be forced to 4.5 is without a doubt fixed and resolved (Ie i can run 2.8 on windows with mesa that only does ogl 3.3) however there may be other bugs, we are aware of many issues in 2.8 and actively working to fix them. But since replying to reports takes time, we have decided to limit bug reports to module team members.

Even the page you link says it's regular gcn (not 2.0 or better), 1.0 cards should be blacklisted and not secretly still be used in the background, if they are it's something @Mai Lavelle (maiself) might want to take a look at.

The wikipedia article actually lists the 370 as gcn 1.0, i can't seem to be able to google something up that seems to confirm the R7 370 is 2.0?

We only support graphics cards with GCN architecture 2.0 and above). To make sure your GPU is supported checkout this Wikipedia page.

can confirm the issue.

to make reproduction easier, any chance you can attach a problematic file?

Thanks for reporting back, I'm still trying to reproduce the issue so i can see if we can do something to make things easier for people running into this in the future.

can confirm the issue on windows, seems like changing the pos doens't cause a display refresh.

it is safe to remove it, but your problem will come back until you sort out your gpu driver issues.

pleasee do NOT triage tickets your self.

That may be, but i really cannot recommend using that as a permanent solution, this dll uses a software stack instead of using your gpu's opengl driver, so everything will be rather slow. I'd probably look into updating your drivers and then removing this dll to get a proper solution.

please do NOT assign / triage tickets your self.

Thank you for the report. Currently we are aware of many issues in 2.8 and actively working to fix them. But since replying to reports takes time, we have decided to limit bug reports to module team members.

I only do the initial triaging, someone from the cycles team will have to take a closer look at this point.

Seems like a driver bug then, try updating your drivers, i also seen people with a similar setup have an option somewhere to select the gpu to run a specific application on. either way doesn't seem to be a bug in blender.

thought this might be fixed due to recent work in this area, but can still reproduce with latest master

Its highly likely that this bug is specific to your hardware/driver configuration. These kinds of display issues are often caused by OpenGL driver bugs.

Hate to play straight into your hand, but sadly i have to abide by the tracker rules an close this as a feature request. here's the standard blurb, sorry man!

The installer only removes files it installs, any user created data like preferences or installed addons will not be removed and shouldn't be.
