Not getting any respones in “other software”, thught i’d give it a try here.
I’ve recently switched to ubuntu studio. It’s great, but Im having a problem with blender. I’ haven’t posted this at the ubuntu forum, seemed more of a blender problem, and sorry if this has been brought up before, I didn’t find anything on google, but I’m not sure how to word this kind of search.
When trying to select a different object in the viewport by right clicking, the object becomes enlarged, but its not actually selected. The odd thing is that I can select vertices fine in edit mode. So selecting things with A, is a little peevy, as well as having objects across different layers. I just remebered the outliner last night, so I could work through that, but selecting with right click is more convenient
I forgot about the video card,
Well i don’t know anything about hardware, pulled this off of HP (other drivers if its needed) ATI Radeon Xpress 200
And just tried re-installing blender, it happens in 2.48, (the one included in the repos
and 2.49a off the blender website, with python 2.5/2.6, (just extracted them to the desktop and tried to run)
also found a .deb package on the site now, tried that, still happening.
Also I already have visual effects turned off, It caused other problems in blender like making the title bar disappear.
Well I’ll go hunting for a driver then, report back here if thats the solution or not.
That seems to be more of a windows solution.
Does linux use .dll’s ?
So now im more confused then ever.
I did have a problem like thta back in XP, blender slowing down after a few minutes, Would save & quit, blender would run smoothly again for a couple minutes.
REALLY unefficent way of working.
