Description Richard Walker 2019-01-26 12:39:53 CET
Description of problem:
Blender fails to initialise any component which depends on Python. On boot it reports a long list of python-related failures and says it cannot find the python interpreter:

"python line lookup failed, interpreter inactive"

Nightly builds from Blender.org, both v2.79 and 2.80, operate correctly with their bundled Python 3.7

Starting with and without a pre-existing user config directory for Blender 2.79 produces similar results.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
on every startup of the Blender program.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot to desktop
2. start blender
3.

Ok same as here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1631922

I'll apply an upstream fix:

https://developer.blender.org/rB1db47a2ccd1e68994bf8140eba6cc2a26a2bc91f

Should be fixed in next blender-2.79b-13.mga7 update!
