I have downloaded Blender Blender 4.2.3 LTS as a tar.gz file. My machine has the following specs:
(Redacted from lscpu)
Architecture: x86_64
CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit
Address sizes: 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 4
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3
Vendor ID: GenuineIntel
Model name: Intel(R) Core™ i7-3540M CPU @ 3.00GHz
CPU family: 6
Model: 58
Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 2
Socket(s): 1
Stepping: 9
CPU max MHz: 3700.0000
CPU min MHz: 1200.0000
Graphics:
Device-1: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics vendor: Dell driver: i915
So on running the executatble in the extracted archive I get a seg fault. I am unsure why
EGL Error (0x3009): EGL_BAD_MATCH: Arguments are inconsistent (for example, a valid context requires buffers not supplied by a valid surface).
Writing: /tmp/blender.crash.txt
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
and the crash info

I have had success running previous versions of blender. Perhaps the newer versions do not play well with my ancient machine. Would be grateful for some help.
