Nvidia Optimus + Centos

Hi All

I am having a torrid time trying to get my y50 70 with Nvidia Optimus Gfx card 
setup to work on Centos 7. Has anyone perchance had any luck trying to get it 
to work ?

Kind regards

Centos

Hi Folks

Setting up a Centos machine to work with Octane and maya. I see 3d Folks seem 
to stick to 6.5 ? Would it worthwhile to start with the minimal iso and work up 
to reduce bloat ?

Kind regards

Some people stick to 6.5 due to drivers with particular hardware like fibre 
channel networking cards and the like… v7 is much better and in my opinion 
worth going for it.

Regarding installation and bloating I consider Centos pretty well balanced so I 
normally go for the full install.

Hope it helps

Move ~/Autodesk folder from affected machine/user to somewhere else and try
again.

BTW: Your problem with XGetRequest is not related to running on a VM, it's
Centos 6.5 issue.

 It seems like your OpenGL lib driver is the problem...

 Ideally it would be on a render blade, and the installation would not be

 which I can run a X session.

 I was unable to start xsi 2013 for a different reason, a missing symbol in
 libGL.
 /usr/Softimage/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/XSI.bin: symbol lookup

 Although, for now I suppose it could be related to the fact that I am
 running it in a VM. The missing symbol error is not triggered when using
 xsibatch.

xsibatch 2014 crashes on CentOS 6.5

2013-12-05 Thread Félix-Antoine Fortin
Hi,

I am currently trying to render a simple scene using Softimage 2014 SP2 on
Cent OS 6.5.
However, when I launched the render using xsibatch, it crashes.

$ tcsh
$ source /usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/.xsi_2014_SP2
$ xsibatch -render ~/Colosse/Scenes/Test_rendu.scn
===
 Autodesk Softimage 12.1.94.0
===

Abort (core dumped)

I get the same error with 2014 SP1.

I have succesfully rendered the scene using Softimage 2013 SP1.

Is there a way to increase the verbosity of xsibatch log in order to find
what is the problem?

Thanks,
Félix-Antoine


Re: xsibatch 2014 crashes on CentOS 6.5

2013-12-05 Thread Stephen Blair
It appears to be crashing before you even get a license, or before it ever
gets a chance to print out the licensing info.

The only verbosity level you can change is that of the renderer.
