Linux: 2014 sp2 install notes and stuff
just some notes from the past week or so on getting 2014 installed and working well in Mint 15 Cinnamon. Most of this info, if not all, is available on the webs (most of it on Stephen's blog) but, as i used the list extensively when looking for answers, i though this would be the appropriate place for my notes. ## NOTES: update everything BEFORE proprietry driver: // wasn't obvious to my win-centric mindset sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade //reboot into new kernel if tehre is one // headers sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r) i needed cuda but if you don't, go with the os nvidia drivers. xsi/maya worked best with 310's for me, later drivers gave me segfaults in xsi - quite possibly due to conflicting ogl linkage. CUDA only needed for cuda dev (ie, you only need this install if you plan on compiling your own cuda apps) https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads i used the 5.5 ubuntu 12.10 .run version. now i know a bit more, i think the deb package would be easier all round. ah well. live and learn the installer always crapped out if i didn't split/unpack it: sh cuda*.run -extract=/path/to/extract/dir/ drivers : NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.37 cuda : cuda-linux64-rel-5.5.22-16488124 samples : cuda-samples-linux-5.5.22-16488124 !!! 5.5 toolkit installs and compiles fine with gcc 4.7. no need to build or altenate 4.6!!! //install Driver, cuda then samples drop to a cmd shell (ctr+alt + F2) stop x server: sudo service mdm stop ##cinnamon/mate ## obviously ## sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub__bak sudo nano /etc/default/grub add or change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet nouveau.modeset=0 Save, close nano sudo update-grub sudo reboot ## i blacklisted the other drivers before rebooting at log in prompt drop to a shell again,stop the mdm and: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf add to the end: blacklist amd76x_edac blacklist vga16fb blacklist nouveau blacklist rivafb blacklist NVidiafb blacklist rivatv save and quit nano if you had previous nvidia drivers: ## i didn't sudo apt-get remove --purge NVidia* install driver: sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x64-319.37.run registered with DKMS NO to 32 bit libs ## if you want 32bit support, ## you'll need to do some shennanigans with xsi to ## stop it segfaulting (see below) yes to run the xconfig util ## always failed for me but they still went in fine every time - permissions ?? it once asked me to remove nouveau - it failed. did it above anyway Reboot and you should be good to go. http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-getting-started-guide-for-linux/index.html#runfile-installation !!! pts 5 7 !!! libGL.so -- this puppy is the cause of most startup segfaults, xsi typically can't find it cuda would only install from cmd shell with mdm stopped. samples went in without issue every time (from desktop even) i used ~/.bashrc to export required paths: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-5.5/bin export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-5.5/lib64:/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH XSI PRE-INSTALL NOTES: deps: tcsh, alien lsb gamin ## i didn't make a note of these but you'll know instantly if you don't have the right dependencies for install extra downloads: ##the adlm that comes with 2014 sp2 will not install for me no matter what i do http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/nlm11.11_ipv4_linux64.tar.gz tar xzvf nlm11.11_ipv4_linux64.tar.gz use alien on the rpms sudo alien -ci rpmsFrom_nlm11.11_ipv4_linux64 ## include scripts and install (dkpg -i) the setup script references /usr/lib64, doesn't exist on mint so - ln -s /usr/lib /usr/lib64 ## or change the setup script mental ray: sudo mkdir /usr/tmp/ sudo chmod a+wr /usr/tmp/ ## or simlink to /tmp, up to you make sure _setup has the right permissions (note the underscore) (chmod +x ) tcsh sudo sh setup i used network for my server type but this: http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Installation_Help/enu/2014/Help/0161-Product_161/0538-Softimag538/0539-Softimag539/0540-Softimag540/0541-Installi541 leads me to believe that you could probably use a standalone edu license in 2014 ala maya setup usually goes ok but with errors: Error: Application/bin/cmdreg -f Application/bin/XSICOMDLLs.lst Error: Registering python the rpm errors can be ignored if you set it up previously. you'll need to register the stuff the installer missed: (from SB's blog) tcsh source /usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/.xsi_2014_SP2 cd /usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/Application/bin/ cmdreg libdsprsr.so ldd for any missing libs and install them register com dlls tcsh cd /usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/Application/bin/ cmdreg -f XSICOMDLLs.lst register python mwpython win32com/axscript/client/pyscript.py Deleting the X11 folder (and all it's contents) gets rid of the main segfault problem /usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/Application/mainwin/mw/lib-amd64_linux/X11 run xsi
