Description:

Hi,

Current rocm+hip stack causes freezes in blender when selecting HIP backend for cycles. Current blender repo package is broken see FS#80301

I have tested blender-4.0.1-linux-x64.tar.xz downloaded from blender.org (the same applies for blender from Steam):

  • blender starts without segfaulting, however attempting to enable HIP backend for cycles (i am on a rx6800) freezes blender itself, leading to a 'defunct' process that also hangs the system reboot/shut down process

I tested latest blender 3.6.5 from my pacman cache (blender 3.6.5-2, also downgrading openvb to 10.1.0-1) and I experience the same issue:

  • blender starts without segfaulting, however attempting to enable HIP backend for cycles freezes blender itself, leading to a 'defunct' process that also hangs the system reboot/shut down process

I am on the latest rocm+hip stack (5.7.1). The above did not happen with the older rocm+hip stack (5.6.1)

update rocm+hip to 5.7.1, install blender (current repo version is broken see FS#80301) from either blender.org or Steam
