In particular, the Thinkpad X200 does not support OpenGL 3. > I think this problem has finally been reported and fixed upstream: > > Reports: > > https://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2019-February/049823.html > https://blenderartists.org/t/new-blender-install-gui-is-empty-no-icons-controls-etc/1145751 > > Fix commmit: > > https://git.blender.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi/blender.git/commit/1db47a2ccd1e68994bf8140eba6cc2a26a2bc91f > > I didn't test the fix but it's reported to work in that mailing list > discussion. > > Blender 2.8 is working fine for my very limited use case, so I'm not > going to resurrect Blender 2.79 in Guix. > > However, if somebody sends a patch that brings it back in a working > state, we can have both versions in Guix during the 2.79 -> 2.8 upstream > transition. Thanks very much for finding this bug report and fix, Leo! I applied it and it works on my X200. FYI, I resurrected blender-2.79b on our master branch in commit e625dda1af967c5897b54c904dcdf4cfeca04768. Regards, Mark
