Hi I am new to houdini and trying to set up hqueue in Linux. Everything work, clients servers and I have setup a mounted drive manually. But when I submit my job it fails, giving me this

The Houdini 12.0.581 environment has been initialized.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/opt/hfs12.0.581/houdini/scripts/hqueue/hq_submit_renders.py”, line 4, in <module>
hqlib.callFunctionWithHQParms(hqlib.submitMultipleRenderJobs)
File “/opt/hfs12.0.581/houdini/scripts/hqueue/hqlib.py”, line 1815, in callFunctionWithHQParms
return function(**kwargs)
File “/opt/hfs12.0.581/houdini/scripts/hqueue/hqlib.py”, line 630, in submitMultipleRenderJobs
frames = _getTargetFramesFromRop(rop)
File “/opt/hfs12.0.581/houdini/scripts/hqueue/hqlib.py”, line 1877, in _getTargetFramesFromRop
(start_frame, end_frame, frame_incr) = _getFrameRangeFromRop(rop)
File “/opt/hfs12.0.581/houdini/scripts/hqueue/hqlib.py”, line 1917, in _getFrameRangeFromRop
if rop.evalParm(“trange”) == 0:
File “/opt/hfs12.0.581/houdini/python2.6libs/hou.py”, line 6242, in evalParm
return _hou.Node_evalParm(*args)
hou.OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed.
Invalid parm name

Also I am not sure about my output drive in HQ_render. I can only submit if I type / or /out
I dont know about a concrete example.

I hope I have provided enought information and hope it is just a silly problem.

Thanks!

The problem was silly. the mantra node did not have a correct image outout, it was set to ip instead of seq exr for example. That was why I could not set the output driver correct. now when output driver is set to /out/mantra1 everything is ok.

well well, seting up linux and houdini in the same time makes you dive too deep
