I'm trying to get Houdini running on Fedora 40. After installing the correct NVidia drivers using the official Fedora documentation I am able to start Houdini 20.5 as usual. However, after X time (a few minutes most of the time) the program just crashes without warning in both Xorg and Wayland sessions. It doesn't really seem to be triggered by specific actions or heavy requirements for that matter.
Hopefully somebody can help me with this.
This is the log output:
GNU nano 7.2 /tmp/houdini_temp/crash.cyg_master_v992.victor_6139_log.txt

I get the same crash after laying down 2-3 nodes using gnome on wayland. works fine on x11 though. Sent this to support some time ago, but it seems as wayland is not a priority atm - hopefully there will be some movement in the near future, as most of the other DCCs seem to work (even if not officially supported) just fine on wayland.

I get exactly the same crash on Fedora 41, with the same error in the logs.
In case anyone else needs:
Install X Gnome
Restart and choose the Xorg version of Gnome on the login screen.
Houdini seems to work just fine (though it's annoying to switch desktop just for Houdini).
Hopefully SideFX have Wayland support in the works now major distros are starting to drop X.
