This sounds like a problem with Xorg or the driver you are using. I'm assigning the bug to the xorg package for now. Please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging for what information would be useful to include.
** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => xorg Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Description changed: I'm running Kubuntu 7.10. I've installed the latest Blender from the repository (2.44). After a few seconds of rotating the viewport (moving the mouse while the middle mouse button is down), my system freezes completely (hard reboot required). When I had it installed on Windows it worked fine. What logs/info should I attach? + + My graphic card is an onboard intel gma950 (i945 chipset). + I'm using the intel driver (the default that was autodetected after Kubuntu installation). ** Description changed: I'm running Kubuntu 7.10.

So it is probably related to openGL. + WORKAROUND: After adding DRI=false to xorg.conf the freezes stop. -- blender causes hard freeze https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
