and then hangs? If so then you can try removing the X11
patch
by editing the ${MWHOME}/scripts/.mwenv file and looking for the
x11patch line. There you should see where it checks for various
fedora
versions and sets the x11patch for fc14. You could temporarily
comment
that line (should be line 17) and then source the .xsi??? file again.
This
will remove that X11 patch folder from your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Now see
if
XSI starts up correctly.
Note: without this patch you may notice viewport performance
problems.
So this should not be used as a permanent solution to your problem.

Re: Softimage and Fedora14 - help please!
Hey Sean,
thanks for jumping in and helping out! this actually helped a lot to
narrow the problem down..
if i try what you suggested then soft starts up (very slowly) and gets
past the splashscreen, opens the netview and then segfaults the moment
the ogl-viewports are drawn.
disabling the ogl-viewports (via this description -
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112id=14691242linkID=12544120)
lets me fully start softimage, it takes ages and i can't do a thing
without ogl-views, but there are no segfaults and no freezing.. so
that's a partial success, i guess :)
interestingly enough, if if just disable the the ogl-viewports without
removing the x11-patch then soft freezes up right after the splashscreen
again..
here is the end of the segfault-strace, i can provide the full log
(which is over 17megs) if necessary...

thanks steven,
I had the same problem here and this is really something that makes
me puke. If you state that the only supported distro of linux is
Fedora14 and when you first run your setup it returns with an error,
then something is really wrong with your testing on the supported platform.
I mean, if you guys are about to merge every damn aspect of softimage
with the autodesk doctrine, then I would like to see some stuff done
on the linux side of things
Re: Softimage and Fedora14 - help please!
Not sure it's going to help here, but make sure that your /etc/host has not
being regenerated by the Network Manager. It does happen on CentOS 6, not
sure about Fedora 14. You can prevent this from happening by running this
command as root:
chattr +i /etc/hosts
Also, make sure you did all the fixes mentioned on the xsi support blog.
One of them:
http://xsisupport.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/the-case-of-the-slow-2011-startup-on-fedora-14/
But I would think that it should be pretty straight forward on FC14 ...

Hey Sean,
thanks for jumping in and helping out! this actually helped a lot to
narrow the problem down..
if i try what you suggested then soft starts up (very slowly) and gets
past the splashscreen, opens the netview and then segfaults the moment the
ogl-viewports are drawn.
disabling the ogl-viewports (via this description -
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/**servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=**
123112id=14691242linkID=**12544120http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112id=14691242linkID=12544120)
lets me fully start softimage, it takes ages and i can't do a thing without
ogl-views, but there are no segfaults and no freezing.. so that's a partial
success, i guess :)
interestingly enough, if if just disable the the ogl-viewports without
removing the x11-patch then soft freezes up right after the splashscreen
again..
here is the end of the segfault-strace, i can provide the full log (which
is over 17megs) if necessary...

Are you still stuck at the problem where once you start XSI it shows the
splashscreen and then hangs? If so then you can try removing the X11 patch
by editing the ${MWHOME}/scripts/.mwenv file and looking for the
x11patch line. There you should see where it checks for various fedora
versions and sets the x11patch for fc14. You could temporarily comment
that line (should be line 17) and then source the .xsi??? file again. This
will remove that X11 patch folder from your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Now see if
XSI starts up correctly.
Note: without this patch you may notice viewport performance problems.
So this should not be used as a permanent solution to your problem.

RE: Softimage and Fedora14 - help please!
I built one workstation with Nvidia driver a while ago - otherwise we crank out render nodes all on FC14 - and all work 100% - I will check tomorrow if we can remember how we did the one WS, which Nvidia driver etc... - BTW one thing I HAVE noticed is that you should update BIOS, we had lots of problems before with nodes untill we did that! I will see tomorrow if I can dig out which Nvidia driver I used! Evening time here now and I am at home.

I've had the problem on Fedora14 that softimage would start up after a reboot but will hang if I open it a second time in the same session. After rebooting again, it started up again.

Re: Softimage and Fedora14 - help please!
There also is another issue with /etc/hosts, apart from the wrong first line mentioned before. I can't recall it exactly, but if it isn't setup correctly you get errors in SI, and not being able to connect to DisplayHost (or whatever) sounds exactly like that. Actually that one was driving me nuts for weeks, though my error was a segmentationFault at that time. The error was that my actual hostname didn't show up in that file...once fixed evereything worked fine. I would post my correct configured /etc/hosts, but unfortunately I'm sitting in front of a Windows-box right now and it seems that it is going to be a loong evening :/ Anyway, my guess is this file. Maybe someone else can post a file for reference. And yes, a centralized how-to with dependency-list for the official-supported platform would be great. Not that I need it anymore, as I probably experienced every Linux-bug since XSI6... däNg good luck! Thomas Christoph Muetze c...@glarestudios.de hat am 22.

Re: Softimage and Fedora14 - help please!
Hi Thomas, thanks for pointing this out! i'm painfully aware of the segmentation fault when you don't have the hostname in /etc/hosts. in my case: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4) - segfault 127.0.0.1 localhost wireframe localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 - soft starts, but freezes after splashscreen also you need to have /etc/hostname (which doesn't exist by default in fedora) containing the hostname, but i've forgotten why exactly, some other error. i agree that autodesk really should provide a _detailed_ step by step installation for a program that breaks so easily and is so fragile to set up like softimage. it feels like an extremely buggy alphaversion...like.. not tested at all. considering that you have to collect all the installation information from various places from the net (inkl. many non-audodesk sites) makes it even worse. and the fact that the installation medium is an ntfs-formatted usb-stick that _can't_ be openened on the very system that is recommended (fedora14) really is just the tip of the iceberg. i wonder why i paid money for this? :( cheers! chris On 05/22/2012 09:52 PM, Thomas Volkmann wrote: There also is another issue with /etc/hosts, apart from the wrong first line mentioned before.
