Hi

As i allways get an error of hmaster when i launch houdini on windows xp pro sp3 (actually i can launch the app, but when i click comewhere it crashes) i decided to give a try to linux.
So i am just installing ubuntu 8.1 32bit on a separate partition.

I am completely new to linux, so i have to idea how to install the nvidia drivers there as well as houdini itself.

Can someone give me a very detailed tutorial about how to do it?

Thanks

It crashes to me too. When finishing installation i already got an error about hkey.exe.
Then anytime i want to start the app i get the same eroor. hkey.exe

I am on xpPro 32bit, and have ad Nvidia 7600GT (i think this should be enought for this app). I went ot the nvidia website and upgraded the drivers but it still doesn't work.

Here's the screenshot of what i got when istalling the app:
