Render Animation crashes Blender 2.9 in slackware64-15.0

I am using slackware64-15.0, and blender 2.9, installed from slackbuilds.org with sbopkg. My DE is very minimal, and I often launch x11 apps from CLI.

I have a blender project in which I've been following this tutorial, and it has mirrored the tutorial nearly identically except in two instances:

In the first half of the tutorial, when creating a track for the fireball, to keep it moving with the hand, the tutor is using "shift + left arrow" to move through the frames and adjust the position of the fireball's anchor when needed. Shift + left arrow or right arrow doesn't move through the frames for me, but just unselects the anchor...

And when I am at the final part, and ready to render the animation with shift+f12, blender 2.9 crashes and gives me this error on the cli from which I had launched blender with /opt/blender/blender:

Code:

papa@papaz-ideapad:/home/papaz ==> /opt/blender/blender
Read prefs: /home/papaz/.config/blender/2.90/config/userpref.blend
AL lib: (EE) Invalid header in Default HRTF: "MinPHR03"

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'openvdb::v7_0::ValueError'
  what():  ValueError: can't construct a dense grid with an empty bounding box
zsh: IOT instruction  /opt/blender/blender

gvfs is installed:

Code:

ls /var/log/packages | grep gvfs
gvfs-1.48.1-x86_64-1

But shouldn't it create that runtime gvfs folder automatically? I don't see an /etc/gvfs with which to edit configurations. Is there any tricks to configuring gvfs for slackware?

So I manually created a directory at /run/user/1000/gvfs, and then launched blender, and render animation threw all the same errors, except without the non-existent run/usr/1000/gvfs error.

So I'm at this HRTF... One difference between my project and the tutorial, was I had added an autio track -- but I get the same error with or without my audio track.

And so the tutorial never mentioned a "bounding box", and I haven't found a place to add or configure one.

I'm a total noob, and this is my first try ever at using blender for anything other than non-linear video editing in the sequencer... first time to try to add some special effects--and so I am posting here in hopes there are some blender gurus who have been there and done that, and can point me in the right direction.

I am starting to blame the hardware (should have mentioned that this is on old lenovo ideapad).

from cat /proc/cpuinfo:

from cat /var/log/syslog:

I gave my son a better computer so he can run his flight simulators--his has a ryzen: I will try it on that one and see if I get better results.
