Latest version of Blender doesn't boot in Windows or Linux So i updated my blender to the latest version in both windows and linux.

Both immediately shutdown after the initial pop up.

Ran from console in Fedora 28

**found bundled python: /home/xxxx/Downloads/blender-2.79b-linux-glibc219-x86_64/2.79/python

Any idea's?

Windows 10 &amp; Fedora 28 on gnome

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
tl;dr : If you have an AMD GPU, try uninstalling beignet.

I was getting the same Command Line error on Fedora 28 \w XFCE. Found a thread at https://askbot.fedoraproject.org/en/question/121807/how-fix-blender-and-run-on-fedora-28/ (archived from ask.fedoraproject.org) suggesting removal of the application 'beignet'. Checking my repo, I found that beignet is for running OpenCL programs on Intel GPUs and that it was installed. However, mine is an AMD GPU. Uninstalling the unnecessary beignet application resolved the problem.
