I'm doing the following tutorial

https://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2262&Itemid=362 [sidefx.com]

but there are a few problems:

1) Errors upon loading the scene as “skipping unrecognized parameter”

2) The Houdini console never stops displaying “>>>”. I cannot close it. Even after I shut down Houdini it's still going…

Any thoughts? (using the H13.509)

Thank you!

try setting this environmental variable when launching Houdini:

export HOUDINI_DISABLE_FILE_LOAD_WARNINGS=1

Hi -
I've set this in the houdini.env file but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I still get the same thing.

It happened when I created the custom Desktop for lighting. I've since deleted it and recreated it, but I get the same error.

BTW - I've updated to 13.582

For anybody that faces this, the workaround is to open a python shell which then stops the empty lines and allows you to close the console.
