Hi, Houdini won’t launch unless I manually launch hserver before. The problem started suddenly and I didn’t install Houdini updates or changed anything I can think of in my system before the problem started to occur.

I re-installed Houdini 19 and hserver but the problem persists. During the installation I’m prompted to run the installer as root and enter the password so I don’t think that’s the problem.

Any idea how to fix this? Is hserver supposed to start when you launch Houdini or at boot?

I’m on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 - Houdini 19 py2.

Thanks.
