Mesa 1.8.1.6 with LuxCoreRender 2.1a3 on Debian 9.5 with 4.17 kernel
Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2018 7:15 pm
I am on an older (AMD FX6300) machine with a somewhat newer video card (RX580) - recently upgraded.
There seems to be a bug which is causing Mesa's OpenCL to hang or crash with either Blender Cycles or LuxCore under most conditions right now.
(I'm using the stock Blender Foundation 2.79b download but this happens in one way or another on all of the builds I've downloaded.
My next step is to try to build either a custom kernel, try to cobble together sort of a Frankenstein driver situation or try using Ubuntu running from a flash drive or inside a virtual machine to be able to take advantage of my GPU.
I'm trying to figure out what to do, what I can do on my older machine.
The CPU rendering of the benchmark scene is beautiful.
Has anybody else been in this exact situation?
Edit: Its not such a big issue. (I should be able to manage using a flash drive install for now.)
