New issue by MechDR on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/49763

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 6.6.25_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel notuptodate rrrmFFFFFFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

blender-4.0.2_2

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

Start up... or at least spit out something regarding the GPU not being compatible, because I have no idea if it is (AMD Radeon HD 4650).

But, I also tested it on 2 other PCs, both with older Intel onboard graphics (one has a 2nd gen i3, the other has a G41 GPU, Dual/Quad core era), it just crashes there as well

### Actual behaviour

Her is what `tmp\blender.crash.txt` holds.

# Python backtrace

### Steps to reproduce

Try running it on unsupported hardware (in a VM for example, with no GPU passthrough), because I think that is the actual problem, since no one has filed a bug report yet, which means for people with newer hardware and use it, it works just fine.

Can you share the backtrace with debug symbols? (Add the debug repo and install blender-dbg)

You might need to use `gdb`, in which case do `gdb blender`, then do `run` and when the application crashes, do `bt`.

The crash is a nullptr dereference here: https://github.com/blender/blender/blob/v4.0.2/source/blender/windowmanager/intern/wm_window.cc#L1235

What desktop environment are you using? Doe this happen with the Blender flatpak?

@MechDR Try running Blender with different command-line options or environment variables that may help diagnose the issue
```
 blender --debug-all or MESA_DEBUG=1 blender

As for `MESA_DEBUG=1 blender`, it basically does the same thing as just running `blender`, crashes and writes to `blender.crash.txt`.

I wonder if this problem is caused on Void's side or rather on Blender's side.
Any ideas?
If it's because Blender is messing something up, I'd go to Blenders GH and create a new issue and link to this one.

I highly doubt it. It is a nullptr dereference in upstream code and was reproduced by OP in the Blender flatpak.

As for why `wmWindow` seemingly suddenly becomes a nullptr in the `wm_window_set_drawable()`, idk.
I can't reproduce it so there isn't much I can do.

As for why `wmWindow` seemingly suddenly becomes a nullptr when calling `wm_window_set_drawable()`, idk.

`GPU_context_active_set(static_cast<GPUContext *>(win->gpuctx));`
lead me to
https://github.com/blender/blender/blob/9be62e85b7270d3d2e5bcc846420b91bab3988f9/source/blender/gpu/GPU_context.h#L65
where even the doc string states that it can be NULL (in v4 and v3.6).
I think the issue lies in the 'static_cast'.

In this case, it calls `wm_window_set_drawable(wm, prev_windrawable, false);`

In this case, it calls `wm_window_set_drawable(wm, prev_windrawable, false)` when `wm->windrawable` is NULL because `GHOST_CreateWindow()` fails.

where even the doc string states that it can be NULL (in v4 and v3.6).
This only difference is the STATIC_CASTING in v4. 
I will try to see, if
a) removing the 'static_cast' or
b) adding a nullptr-check before casting
will resolve the issue.

Either way, assuming this can still be reproduced on the latest official release, this should be reported upstream.

Comment:
`win->gpuctx` is equivalent to `(*win).gpuctx` (which dereferences win), in this case `win` is NULL because `GHOST_CreateWindow()` failed for whatever reason and `wm->windrawable` is NULL.

Either way, assuming this can still be reproduced on the latest official release, this should be reported upstream.
Personally, I can't reproduce it so there isn't much I can do about it.

Comment:
I think GHOST_CreateWindow fails in v4, because it uses 'gpuSettings' for the first time. Before it was 'glSettings'.
This would be in line with what @MechDR said about PCs without GPU Passthrough.
Since I have the same issue as @MechDR I can reproduce it and check, if I can still use 'gSettings', if 'gpuSettings' are not available.

Thanks for your help in locating the bug :D

@MechDR Sorry no, I totally forgot about it, because I had other important stuff to attend to and afterwards I simply forgot about it :/

Comment:
@MechDR Added my past learnings to that thread. Thanks for creating the ticket, but sadly it got closed immediately, because PCs without dedicated GPU are not supported anymore :/
But I think, we can close this one now, since it's no longer needed (and not caused by void linux)

Closed issue by MechDR on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/49763

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 6.6.25_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel notuptodate rrrmFFFFFFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

blender-4.0.2_2

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

Start up... or at least spit out something regarding the GPU not being compatible, because I have no idea if it is (AMD Radeon HD 4650).

But, I also tested it on 2 other PCs, both with older Intel onboard graphics (one has a 2nd gen i3, the other has a G41 GPU, Dual/Quad core era), it just crashes there as well

### Actual behaviour

Here is what `/tmp/blender.crash.txt` holds.

# Python backtrace
````

### Steps to reproduce

Try running it on unsupported hardware (in a VM for example, with no GPU passthrough), because I think that is the actual problem, since no one has filed a bug report yet, which means for people with newer hardware and that use it, it works just fine.
