Heavy lags over whole desktop environment #59996

System Information
Operating system: Linux Mint 18.3, MATE
Graphics card: can't actually find the exact model right now, it's Radeon 6xxxM

Blender Version
Broken: 2.80, 7c438e55366b2, 2018-12-28
Worked: sa far as I understand this gap to fill - 2.79 official releases worked as smoothly as the hardware allowed it to.

Blender and a very desktop environment lag heavily when B3D is in Object Mode

1 - I start with a basic scene with the cube
2 - i tweak its dimensions in edit mode, cut it with loop-cut a few times so the mesh is a bit more complex
3 - go back to object mode.

Actually Blender acts like it filled up whole RAM and then the system starts to use SWAP partition, while it's not SSD ;) but it's not it, there's still plenty of free RAM. Every 3d viewport click, every view turn, every tiny action with Blender is click-and-wait battle. Such action needs about 10-20s, then again a second of smoothness and another 10-20s of waiting.
I didn't find any solution on the Internet yet, so I might be one of the few with the issue.

Thank you in advance for your time and your hard work. Cheers!

Attach the output of --debug-gpu and you can also try to see if --debug-gpu-force-workarounds fixes it.

This is probably a GPU driver issue though if it freezes your whole computer. So I suggest you try to update your mesa drivers to the latest version too.

@ototto

do you also have problems like this?

I'm using the last mesa ppa by oibaf

the drivers in developing have improved .. for a while .. but with the recent builds of blender problems have emerged ..
I hope they solve

Thx guys, I really appreciate.

Drivers - checked, updated, upgraded. No difference though.

@nokipaike - nope, Eevee works like gold on such simple scenes, no gibberish like this on the videos from your thread.
@ZedDB - there's '--debug-gpu' output in the attachment. Sorry if it's too big, I'm not sure what part of it is the most interesting to you. Those are lines from the very command until I quit Blender after it's ceases to cooperate. The good news is that '-force-workorounds' suffix does the job on the mesh, so yay :)

Suddenly:
The very identical symptoms appear right after I make a bone chain 6-bones long. No less, no more (I didn't manage to create longer one ;)). Plus the mode (object, edit, pose) doesn't matter, Blender misbehaves in all three. There... I have no clue at all and the 'force-workarounds' suffix won't help anymore.
Another CLI output in another attachment. The fatal error at the end is 'xkill'-forced-quit, so you don't have to bother.
So... Hope it helps... and hope you guys help me ;)

cheers!

what it the output of glxinfo | grep -i opengl ?
I'm guessing this might be solved in newer mesa versions.

@ototto
I thought it was the same generation of radeon hd as my gpu ..

instead I read better and your radeon is not a hd

@ZedDB
Took me a while :/

glxinfo | grep -i opengl
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile 
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 18.0.5
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 18.0.5
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 18.0.5
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
OpenGL ES profile extensions:

So that's the output you've asked.
Sorry for the time of my reaction.

Seems like you are using your built in GPU and not your Radeon gpu.

So I will suggest two things:

Figure out how to switch to your dedicated GPU
Update mesa version as the one you have is about half a year old. (So you might be missing some bug fixes for your GPU drivers [mesa])

@ototto

DRI_PRIME=1 ./blender

if your system has 2 GPUs

Alright. I feel stupid now, but hey - the 2.79 worked just fine... :/ And as long as Cycles does not support this particular Radeon card, I simply didn't notice. Shame on me.
Maybe it's time to change my machine, simply enough.

Thank you, gentlemen :) Cheers!

Changed status from 'Open' to: 'Resolved'

I'll close this as resolved then (?)

Yup, go ahead :) thanks again.

@ototto so...
