I installed 2.79b. The installation looked clean, but when I start up Blender it is empty. There are no controls or icons. The frames are there, but empty. Any help is appreciated. Running, GeckoLinux Rolling (v15). see below Desperate to get this working again ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/9/b/3/9b3a5f96bad053d694efbecf5f4ca8fd722a304c.jpeg) ---

Download from [https://www.blender.org/download/](https://www.blender.org/download/) instead of installing from your distro repository. ---

Thank you. I downloaded blender-2.79b-linux-glibc219-x86\_64.tar.bz2. It opened the same as the image above with empty frames. I opened it in a terminal window. Below are a string of errors. I don’t know how to fix this, but am hoping someone can. sorry for the length below. thank you `search for unknown operator 'WM_OT_context_set_enum', 'WM_OT_context_set_enum' RNA_string_set: OperatorProperties.data_path not found.

It could be that your Python installation is borked or at least Blender does not like it. Try setting up proper Python environments before running. The way Gentoo does Python might be an issue. Also rename your Blender profile folder if there is one. ---

I reinstalled my OS and opened the tar file. It now works. Thank you , but I have a couplr of clean up questions. 1 - how to I apply the icon to the blender executable link I set on my desktop? ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/2/a/9/2a9c8ce7529b2e46d53594dd88198d9fc3726eea.png) 2 - when I select the link it states that it is executable with the message below I would like to make it run without that extra step. What am I missing? ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/2/3/7/237a7fd70257ca6dd57499056fe6bae9e8e9521b.png) 3 - there is a desktop command button in the file, but I don’t know how to use it. ![image](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/4/c/8/4c8f07b0aa4653824891640466d29a933774e8b2.png) thanks ---

These questions are more your OS than Blender related, check this one: [https://www.maketecheasier.com/create-desktop-file-linux/](https://www.maketecheasier.com/create-desktop-file-linux/) ---

Install Synapse, it wil make it easier to find and launch apps, seems like it is in Gentoo [https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/gnome-extra/synapse](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/gnome-extra/synapse) ![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/0/7/7/0774ca65b3bbb87c43588eb973147e60de087171.jpeg)
