Hi Guys,
I decided to have a go with the pryo lessons and get a bit deeper and better understanding of houdini. This is a newbie question but when I run houdini and working thru the lessons i find it is taking a long time to get a preview in the render window.
System Monitor is saying that I`m only using 1.2 gb of ram out of 6 that I have installed.
I`m I missing something and is there a variable path that i have to tell houdini to use more ram.
Using build 10.0.554 on ubuntu 9.10, 64 bit 0S.

Thanks in adance
Ian

Thanks for the reply rafal,

I got it sorted.It ended up that the render license was still tied to the sever for vista and that it was one that I forgot to redem. reinstalled Houdini on vista sent the license back.
Went back into Linux and installed the license and I can render now.

The detailed reply is for other user if their having the same problem.
I do find that alot on these forms that people ask for help and get a solution but dont finish the thread.

Again thanks for the reply and help rafal.

Hi guys,
I decided to dual boot my pc with ubuntu and install 64 bit version due to a recent purchase of 4 gb of ram.I uninstalled houdini on the windows side and redemed my licenses.Installed on linux and everything was fine untill i tried to render.I logged in to license administrator and i see only 3 licenses,2 for non commerical and 1 for HD.
Is this right or is there a way to fix this without having to buy another HD license?

Thanks in advance

Ian.
