Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: blender
First off:
Ubuntu release: 10.04 LTS(Lucid Lynx)
Blender package version: 2.49.2~dfsg-1ubuntu1
Blender version 2.49(sub 2)
OpenGL vendor: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
OpenGL version: 2.1 Mesa 7.7.1
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset GEM
20091221 2009Q4 x86/MMX/SSE2
What I expected to happen: Basically, nothing. I could just model as normal.
What happened instead:
Blender, after a while(around 5 minutes), starts to slow down and use up a
large(95%) amount of swap space, while RAM usage stays below 30%. After 5 more
minutes, Blender hangs the entire system(most likely due to lack of swap
space), and I have to cold reboot to restart the system.
The problem seems to become worse if I scale/rotate.
How to reproduce:
1. Open up Blender(fullscreen or windowed)
2. Add a few primitives
3. Scale or rotate them
4. Render them a few times, and add a few lights. Rotate them
5. Render again
By step 3(most certainly by step 5), you should experience system
slowdown, and by step 5, Blender should hang, along with the entire
system.
Opening the System Monitor should reveal around 95% of swap space usage,
while RAM usage is still below 30%.
