Hello,
I would like some help installing Blender on my EEE Slate. Since I’m new to Linux I think there’s a high chance I missed something obvious.
I tried installing version 2.76 from Apps, and also downloading the latest version from the official website and extracting to the home folder. My current install is Blender 2.79 via PPA:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install blender
With all the methods I tried, when launching Blender, a greyed-filled Blender window opens and closes after a couple seconds. I’m wondering if there is anything I need to additionally install or update.
Asus EEE Slate
Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE
Intel Core i5 U 470, open-source microcode version 3.2018018.0+really20170707ubuntu16.04.1
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 17.2.4

I already started a thread on the Linux Mint forum but maybe someone here can help me. Once given additional ideas, I can go investigate more.
