[Hqueue][Linux] [PDG] - Unable to open file error Sept. 22, 2019, 7:53 a.m.

Hi all,

I can't get PDG to work with Hqueue on Ubuntu Linux 19.04, see the error below.
/shares/project1 is mapped to the shared network folder on the Hqueue server machine. I can access it from both the server machine and another machine on the network as the user hquser. Inside Houdini I can acces /shares/project1 just fine.
I tried logging in as the user ‘hquser’ instead of my regular username but the same error persists after opening Houdini and re-submitting.
All machines are using Ubuntu 19.04.

I'm at a loss at the moment why this is failing, any help would be much appreciated.

[Hqueue - COPS] - 8k and lower is fine on all machines, 16k and up it only renders at server July 15, 2019, 4:18 p.m.

*bump*
Does anybody know if there's a way to get more info from a comp (composite driver) in /out/ …in a Mantra you can choose which error messages it outputs (verbose mode) but the comp node doesn't seem to have it

Hi!

Situation : 2 Indie licenses running on a local network.

When the COPS network is set to render out an 8k image or lower, it works on both machines. However, when it's set to use a 16k image as its base to comp on to, it will only work with Hqueue on the server machine. The other machine will give a “ERROR: The attempted operation failed. Error: Cook error in input : <Node name>”

Edit : it's specifically one file node that reads either an 8k or 16k image.

Anyone any ideas ? Thanks.
