Hi all,

I have a similar problem trying to run eqPly on multiple nodes. I'm running
Equalizer (0.6-rc1) on two machines (Ubuntu). They both know each other and
can connect with SSH to each other without a password. My /etc/hosts files
are complete. 
The paths on both machines are identical, therefore all data can be found.

First, I tried the sample configuration 2-node.DB.eqc and changed the
hostname to 192.168.0.4. 

Being on the machine "192.168.0.104" I ran the eqServer with the given
configuration file. Then I started eqPly. The server starts without any
error messages. An Equalizer opens on the machine 192.168.0.4, but it gets
closed again immediately. It only flickers up.
The log files are empty on both machines, therefore I have absolutely no
idea what the error message may be. 

Has anyone an idea what the error may be? Or can anybody give me a
step-by-step guide how to work this out? I would really appreciate that.


I have a configuration file that works on my machine (192.168.0.104). This
machine contains 4 graphics cards, each of them connected to two screens.
The config works like a charm, but our goal is to connect other machines to
this one to get better performance.
My first approach was to take the configuration file that already worked and
just encapsulate one pipe of the working node to a new node.
When I start the eqServer and eqPly the same way as described before, I get
another strange effect. I get an open Equalizer window on both (respectively
all three) machines. All of them still have access to the equalizer data (I
have the Equalizer logo in both windows). But the eqPly model only shows on
the server. I can manipulate the camera. But as soon as i "drag" the model
out of the window, Equalizer crashes. Does anyone ever experience a similar
problem? 

my configuration file for the second scenario:

global {
        EQ_CONFIG_FATTR_EYE_BASE        0.01
#       EQ_COMPOUND_IATTR_STEREO_MODE   ANAGLYPH
}
