Nvidia new drivers Aug. 24, 2026, 4:12 a.m.
I’m running Houdini 22 on Pop!_OS with the NVIDIA 580 driver branch and OpenCL works fine here.
Since Houdini starts for you when forcing HOUDINI_OCL_DEVICETYPE=CPU, I’d strongly suspect the NVIDIA/OpenCL side, especially since you’re on 610.57.04.
I’d try rolling back to the 580 branch first. That’s also the branch SideFX currently recommends for Houdini 22 on Linux.

Delete and Backspace Reversed On OSX? Aug. 18, 2026, 5:13 a.m.

Curiously enough, without this trick, the Hotkey editor reports "Backspace" when I press "Delete". Maybe someone at SideFX just swapped the keys when porting Houdini to OSX
This brought me to an idea:
In the hotkey editor: /Houdini/Panes/Network Editor/Add Operator
Delete Backspace as entry
/Houdini/Panes/Network Editor/Delete:
Add Backspace as entry
Voila. No other stuff needed.
Thanks, I just did this for Houdini 22.
Why they switched those in the first place is a mystery to me since it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
ML Train GSplats on macOS, CUDA only? Aug. 17, 2026, 3:34 a.m.

Just a heads up. I have a working replacement for Mac. It replaces the CUDA train node with one that uses OpenSplat.
I'm going to clean it up and either give it a PC/Mac checkbox or an autodetect. I'll post when ready.
awesome! thanks! cant wait :-)
