Full Version: GUI problem, Linux x64
Have you run the houdini_setup_bash script in the install directory?
LoneDerangerHi,
Hi Steven,
thank you for your reply.
I downloaded and installed the latest build (420) and unfortunately it makes no difference.
No idea what's going on here.
Maybe you don't have X11 installed? If you search through the forum, there were users who had problems running Houdini without X11 installed. Or they couldn't even run it? I don't remember exactly.
What graphics card do you have on the MBP?
Cheers!

When I used Houdini on my Mac, I had to install X11 first. You can download the latest version from Apple ADC.
It is also included on the OS X install discs. The optional extra I believe.
It will auto update after install if I'm not demented.

Thanks for the help guys. It turned out that it was indeed X11 related.
Uninstalled Houdini, then installed the X11 software from my Leopard discs and re-installed the latest Houdini build. It worked straightaway. Awesome!
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,,
A bit off topic, I have been running Houdini Vista 64 on a i7 3GHz with 12GB memory and a Asus GT280 graphical board. The Houdini app was crashing on average each hour and I therefor decided to give Linux a try.
I downloaded and burnt a CD image of Kubuntu 8.10,
Went through the installation process
Got the latest linux kernel though Adept installer
Installed the latest graphical driver from NVIDIA.COM
Installed Firefox
Installed Flash plugin for Firefox(32bit)
Installed Mplayer plugin for Firefox
Turned on PCM sound in the mixer
Downloaded and installed the latest Houdini linux 64 build.
and “voila” everything has been working like a charm ever since.
Houdini has been rock steady not a single crash in three weeks.
Graphics are in my opinion running faster than under windows
I can see and play all tutorials from SideFX, cmiVFX, CardanFX and 3DBuzz.
Linux lets me access the NTFS part of the disk and which is still need until I
find a way to run SolidWorks and Nugraf under Linux.
The whole process of installing Linux and hou lasted around 1 hour.
cheers
