Hello,
I wanted to try Houdini under Ubuntu, the installation went allright, but when I am lauching Houdini, the interface looks black (I am attaching a screenshot).
Can somebody please help ? Here comes my specs :
Ubuntu Dapper 32 bits
Athlon X2 64bits
ATI X1900XTX PCIE 512 Mo
driver fglrx given by apt-get
here comes what I got in the console when I close houdini :
X11 Error (168): BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device
X11 Error (168): BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device
X11 Error (168): BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x080edaf8 ***
Thanks for your help

Basically, the rgb.txt file is not where it should be for this version of houdini or the location
has been changed by X (Xorg).
The way I resolved this problem was by finding the rgb.txt file
and copying it into my $HOME/houdini8.1/ or was it my /opt/hfs81…..
So I simply did this
1) cd /
2) find . -print | grep -i rgb.txt
eventually it should print out something like “/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt”,
you can then simply..
3) cp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt $HOME/houdini8.1/
That should do it… (if not, copy the same file into the houdini install home, eg /opt/hfs81../)
Good luck..

I just gave a try on Fedora Core 5 on a new Hard drive I had available for this “test” (I currently run FC4 with full satisfaction.. but I love the upgrades.. ) and.. with no tricks at all it runs pretty well.
After installing FC5.. and couple of “yum update” .. I installed the ATI proprietary drivers…
Xorg 7.. drivers 8.26.18 .. everything fine.. no black GUI….
BUT.. I cant maximixe the window to full screen … I already found this problem on this forum.. but it seems i can get that thread back … anybody have an answer for that?… I'm still back on FC4 .. but I seriously wish to spend my next week on the new fresh install
cheers.
