Hi blender folks!
So I’m running linux mint mate on a lenovo laptop with a pendium dual core(I know…), 4 gb ram, and “screaming fast” integrated intel mobile gm965/gl960 graphics(I know…)!
I had blender 2.76.b(mint build) installed and was working with it for some time. Yesterday, I did a bunch of updates and blender worked yesterday. Today, blender started crashing upon execution. It opens a window frame that has nothing inside and closes it within a second or two.
So I downloaded blender 2.79(blender build), but that suffered the same problem of crashing immediately also.
I think there is a problem with the graphics drivers because…
Here is my blender.crash.txt

I have to say, I don’t have any graphics intensive programs on my computer besides blender right now. For what it’s worth, free-civ still works and it’s gtk2 and I don’t seem to be experiancing other problems with video,
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
