Hi Chris, The computer is not on a network, just a single computer. I have had some confusion about what the appropriate "host" and "hostname" is/are on linux, so that may be inappropriately labeled. The license server was running. I have not delved into the selinux stuff.
I need to know what user softimage runs as. I do not know if the machine could detect the license server. I think the license server is running fine. I think that it is case where xsi does not have permission to access the "screen" but that is just a guess. thank you, -e On Mon, 2013-01-14 at 03:14 +0000, Chris Chia wrote: > It seems like there's some connection to license server problem. > "hostname: Name or service not known" > > Could your machine detect the license server?
