Blender is missing parts of the "System" tab panel and some configurations.

[Ivan Paulos Tomé]

(*)Ubuntu 18.04 (any flavor).

Blender 3D Modeler is missing 2/3 the "System tab" panel options regarding to OpenGL, localization, font overrides, translations, lamp directions and options to use custom colors for bone weights.

Since 18.04 beta 1 and 2, I have been comparing the blender 2.79b present at the 18.04LTS obtained via apt-get to the one downloaded directly from Blender Foundation. If you install Blender from apt-get first, and then download and extract Blender from Blender Foundation in any folder, running the software you can go to the "User preference" options using CTRL U, and navigate to the "System tab" options.

Now, compare the system tab of both. 2/3 of the options are missing in the default apt-get (*)ubuntu install.

Many thanks for fixing this !

Hi ! I have made some further investigation on this issue. This problem occurs mostly in I686 fresh installs. Rarely in X86_64. Some overlays are also missing (like the ones located at the "Splash Screen") unless you force a proprietary driver install, or use "./blender-softwaregl" at the folder obtained directly from BF. It seems there is an issue related to OpenGL.
