Re: Blender freezes i3wm

[Ekaitz Zarraga <ekaitz@elenq.tech>]

Hi all,

I just tried with Gnome Desktop and I was able to replicate the same issue,
it could be related with the hardware or with X11?

I needed to push it a little bit further this time but I remember to
sculpt the models I used for the testing in this actual device or the
previous laptop, which was just older and lower quality...

I am pretty sure this didn't happen in older versions like the 2.7...
:(

The way I manage to replicate is entering the Sculpting mode and rotating
the model.

It just freezes the screen (but not the mouse pointer!).

Just to test I managed to use my muscle memory to run a terminal and
reboot the computer using hotkeys and imagining how should the screen
look like. It actually rebooted the computer as expected.

Also I see no increment on the processing or the temperature of the CPU.

So it's like the window manager or something has issues to manage this
but I don't get what kind of debugging information can I obtain from
the fact that the mouse pointer can be moved around.

Does anyone have any suggestion on that?

I'll give it a try to this too, just in case it's only related with X.

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep you posted!
