Ubuntu 24.04 build from source, blender crashes at startup

Building Blender
1

I’m on a Ubuntu 24.04 WSL2, with CUDA support.

v4.4.3 works fine

Building from source at tag v4.4.3 has no issue encountered. I followed the steps from https://developer.blender.org/docs/handbook/building_blender/linux.

Specifically, I ran the following commands.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 git git-lfs

mkdir ~/blender-git
cd ~/blender-git
git clone https://github.com/blender/blender.git

cd ~/blender-git/blender/
./build_files/build_environment/install_linux_packages.py

make update

cd ~/blender-git
cmake -S ./blender -B build/blender -GNinja \
    -DWITH_COMPILER_CCACHE=ON \
    -DWITH_COMPILER_ASAN=OFF \
    -DWITH_CYCLES_CUDA_BINARIES=ON \
    -DWITH_CYCLES_DEVICE_OPTIX=OFF

cmake --build build/blender
cmake --install build/blender

Then after the building finishes, I run blender with or without factory startup, everything works fine.

In the main branch, I tested several times at some commits during the last couple of days.
Building finishes the no errors, but I always get the following results, and /tmp/blender.crash.txt is empty.

$ ./build/blender/bin/blender
Error: Failed to read file '', not a blend file
Writing: /tmp/blender.crash.txt

Error: Failed to read file '', not a blend file
Writing: /tmp/blender.crash.txt
[1]    291177 segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./build/blender/bin/blender --factory-startup

I tried to run it with lldb, and the backtrace is like the following

$ lldb ./build/blender/bin/blender

[6678/6678] Linking CXX executable bin/blender
Run: "ninja install" to copy runtime files and scripts to: /home/elegracer/blender-git/build/blender/bin/4.5

cmake_install outputs are too long, and I am a new user, so cannot upload an attachment. If it is needed, I can paste it below.

2

I confirm facing the same issue, I raised it here[

3

It looks like you didn’t run the install step (e.g. ninja install in the build folder) which meant that Blender couldn’t find the default startup.blend file and crash.
Make sure that in the build folder und the release/datafiles there is a startup.blend file.
Curious that this results in a crash though and not just an exit.

4

I ran cmake —install, and as I said the install outputs are too long to show here. And to emphasize, 4.4.3 works fine

5

@filedescriptor I could not find the startup.blend file in release/datafiles
HEre are all the occurences of startup.blend in the build directory :

./bin/4.5/scripts/startup/bl_app_templates_system/Video_Editing/startup.blend
./bin/4.5/scripts/startup/bl_app_templates_system/VFX/startup.blend
./bin/4.5/scripts/startup/bl_app_templates_system/Sculpting/startup.blend
./bin/4.5/scripts/startup/bl_app_templates_system/2D_Animation/startup.blend
6

Do you have a startup.blend file in the folder I mentioned above? If you run blender with a path to a blend file does it open normally?

7

For the 2nd question, I tried to give a path to a blend file, the output is the same.

8

The same issue occurs on my system as well, and it started recently. There were no problems a week ago.

OS: Arch Linux

9

Is release/datafiles/startup.blend in the Blender source directory (not the build directory) a valid blend file that you can open with another Blender version?

I’m guessing maybe it didn’t get downloaded properly with Git LFS. If so, maybe running git lfs fetch origin will work around it. But not sure why the download would have silently been skipped or failed in the first place.

10

I have a startup.blend file located at ~/blender-git/blender/release/datafiles.

Its size is 131 bytes.

I ran the following commands successfully:

git lfs fetch origin
git lfs checkout
git pull
make

Everything executed without errors.

So the problem should be related with lfs.

11

If you cloned from GitHub, maybe try running this:

git lfs fetch lfs-fallback

If that doesn’t work, it would help to see the contents of .git/config in the Blender source directory.

When I run this command, some files are updated, and blender starts without any error. Thank you!

13

I have the same build problem. When I ran this command, I have this error

Invalid remote name "lfs-fallback": invalid remote name: "/home/hbui/sw/blender/lfs-fallback"

The content of .git/config is

[core]

logallrefupdates = true
[remote “origin”]
url = blender/blender: The official Blender project repository. - blender - Blender Projects

14

Since you are using directly Blender’s git server, you should not have any need for lfs-fallback (and it is not expected to be defined).

Does running git lfs pull fix the issue for you?

15

The fact that you can build and wait 20-40mins on a modern system, and then install the entire code base and only after attempting to run it do you get an error is dumb.

Please add some validation steps in during the build phase with clear error messages.
