And as I'm posting here, I didn't want to fly under false colours, so to speak. As of the start of this month, I'm no longer at Autodesk, The bloodline of european Softimage AE's from Ben, Chinny, and James, to myself has now ended. Perhaps it's time to start earning an honest living again. lol :-)
Re: Centos6.6 install 2015SP1
Hi A shot in the dark but , when we install Softimage on our renderblades (centOs befor and now I think kubuntu) we rename the X11 folder (terminal) as soon as the setup creates it (that means while the installer is still running) and it will complete the setup with the Installed successful with no errors msg. If we don´t to that we get Install errors in the log. But!! I dont run the GUI there that's purely for batch rendering so idk if it will work for Interactive sessions. It starts but I never worked on it. On 12/05/2015 15:16, Thomas Volkmann wrote: How do you run Softimage/Batch? You should always use tcsh or csh...

How do you run Softimage/Batch? You should always use tcsh or csh... You could also try to replace the whole mainwin folder with the one from the working 2012 installation and see if it runs then.
