[jecomovi]

Package: beignet
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On December 8 I reported bug # 847447, which I transcribe:
----------------------------------------------------------
 Dear Maintainer,

After the last update, when I try to open some blender job the system closes.

I copy the error that it gives in the terminal:

Jecoxeon @ jecoxeon: ~ $ blender

Thank you for your time and your work.

And the answer was as follows:

Uh? What's that? Who's "geier"?
There's nothing in Blender code referring to anything similar.
So, probably you have a locally-built driver for intel video graphics or
Something and this is interfering with the program.

This is not a Blender issue, then.
Closing

Cheers.

Trying to verify that it was what caused the program to fall, completely
uninstall the beignet package. Checking that the blender became stable and did
not fall off.

I do not really know what to do with deleting the package, but the consequence
is that blender works.

I hope this information is helpful.
