Houdini with Linux and Wayland 2026年3月27日8:46
TheNotepadShowtommygdawgI had to go back to 580.126.20... the newest 595.58.03 is a no go :-(.. UI freezes up too much.
Well I'll be a son of a gun! Can confirms that works on CachyOS, too! For anyone wondering how to do it, on Cachy I simply added the line to the following file using sudo nano:
/etc/environment
Now, if anyone can figure out how to make Houdini play nice with Nvidia drivers after 580, that'd be the last missing link for me. I managed to track down that it's an XID error 69 that happens when the UI freezes, but I haven't been able to figure out what to do with that information LOL.
Same
590 did, too. I was hoping with 595 it'd be fixed. The AI showed me how to find that XID error, but none of the suggestions it gave for fixing it worked. Houdini with Linux and Wayland 2026年3月26日23:55

Mouse Scrolling Issue 2026年2月22日20:49
Can confirm this is still a friggin' issue and it's very frustrating. I have multiple Linux bugs that make the whole Houdini situation the one snag in my Linux life (I've been in the process of switching the past month).
Currently running an Arch distro called CachyOS using KDE Plasma 6.6. I love it. Plasma is great. Cachy is great. Nuke works flawlessly. Games work flawlessly.
Houdini...it's the little things. The damn middle mouse button. Installing the QT5 version DOES fix it, however, V-Ray doesn't work in the QT5 version!
Furthermore, I have to downgrade to the 580 Nvidia drivers otherwise Houdini will randomly freeze up every few seconds to every few minutes. This isn't the end of the world, but I do experience some minor crashing in games I don't otherwise have.
Hell, I even got Anyware client working with Distrobox for the day job at the studio. It's literally these couple of small issues that can be quite a headache that are keeping me from completely formatting my Windows drive.
Anyone else have these issues or any workarounds?
Oh and by the way, I have tried myriad other distros and DE's at this point. The only DE I've found that doesn't seem to be problematic is Cinnamon. But also...gross.
