And then I managed to VNC in and run Houdini Gui. I still get the same errors, this time with loads of other errors beforehand. See end of the post.

I'm trying to setup a remote render node via command line, and I'm getting some errors.
I don't have physical access to the remote PC. It does have graphics card and a monitor, but I can't screen share (it's problematic, I'm not sure why, my internet is too slow perhaps), though I can ssh into it.
(Remote PC is Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, 5.4.0-73-generic, Geforce 2080 Ti, NVidia 465.19.01, CUDA 11.3)
I've installed
houdini-py3-18.5.532-linux_x86_64_gcc6.3.tar.gz
remotely via command line, and successfully redeemed licenses for - 1 "Houdini Engine Indie 18.5"
- 1 "Renderer (Indie/Apprentice) 18.5"
- 1 "Karma Renderer (Indie/Apprentice) 18.5"
I
source houdini_setup
from /opt/hfs18.5
(it's at the end of my .bashrc
)Then when I run
hbatch
or hython
I get lots of errors starting with:Can't open dophints.cmd
Error running event handler:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "kinefx::Sop/adapttoterrain, opdef:/kinefx::Sop/adapttoterrain?ViewerStateInstall", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'viewerstate'
Interestingly, if I run hython, I get all of the same errors, but at the end there is:
/usr/bin/python3: No module named houdiniInterpreter
Should this be using my system python or
/opt/hfs18.5/python/bin
?which -a python3
also returns /usr/bin/python3
Is this normal? And could this be the reason?I also tried rendering a very simple test hip, and again I get all of the same errors, and at the end there is:

What can I do?

UPDATE: I tried redeeming my second Indie (with GUI) license (even though docs say that Indie Engine is sufficient for commandline renders https://www.sidefx.com/faq/question/indie-renderfarm-setup/ [www.sidefx.com] )
And then I managed to VNC in and run Houdini Gui. I get the same errors, this time with loads of other errors beforehand.
