Mine crashed after trying to set the theme settings - gave me a denied folder response while saving - then refused to open again even after removing ... config files probably still there

Im too lazy to remove by hand...

try some of the following

try running as root - from root login - not just su - from terminal
download blender and run it from there - straight out of a folder

ps -u (username) - make sure its not still alive - as a process - zombied etc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my bug report showed a problem with nvidia - as I had not rebooted after changing some settings

I dont have the swing of 3D acceleration - I know I need to reboot from this or fix some links, permissions?

the dump -

I have F12 now .
First time when i try blender on F12 , crash again .
I update some files and driver 173 ( FX5200) and something happening.
Blender running very well.
Maybe is video drive or some libs ...
Now when i got errors i download blender with static libs from official site.

I am a little new to fedora or fedora 12 but....

blender is one of the few programs that has crashed my machine being locked up in a render
or some other action - none the less ---------- all of my errors came from not having the
video setup correctly - after finally tracking down a GOOD tutorial - even though the steps
are all over the place - you have to install then change the kernel setting in grub - so the new
default nvidia setup that makes it look pretty even on the live disc - is ignored after putting the
drivers in ...go back and use terminal and edit - read the link ..

I had to change the 3d acceleration on my machine

http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia

on reboot if you do it right you dont get a screen of doom and I did this before installing
the updates on a clean install ...fixed the video ..and it worked after a few attempts

if you upgraded to F12 without clean install - it would be easy for it not to work
and there were two versions of blender in the repo because its gone through a lot of
changes

I would try to remove all of the files blender installed - and wait until your system
settles down a little bit from using F12 - updates and fixing the video drivers

see if it does not install then - blender is also fairly dependant on a multitude of libraries
it may be hard to render certain image types without it being installed correctly

building it from SVN is also possible - in fact you can build it with different features from source but
