PioRaffaeleFina Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I just installed Houdini 15.5.683 for Ubuntu 16.04 and I gave a quick look to see how different was from windows version. The first issue that I encountered is with attribute-randomize sop, that gives me a strange error (VEX related). I tried the same setup in windows and everything works smooth! maybe is a ubuntu specific bug? there's someway to fix it, because this sop is essential to me. thanks in advance ps. I navigated inside the attribute randomize sop to find the actual line error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego A Grimaldi Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Is that the only node giving you problems? If multiple nodes give you problem maybe try to reinstall it. I just tried on CentOs and it works fine. I can't try on Ubuntu. Maybe you can report it to SESI. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamp Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Have you added LC_ALL = C to your houdini.env file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Diego suggest I tried some other SOP nodes and I noticed that the problem is only VEX related. ps, what LC_ALL=C supposed to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamp Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Houdini is sensitive to which locale (country specific settings, like whether to use . or , in numbers etc) you use. If you don't use English locale, the variable fixes a lot of strange errors that only occurs if you have a different locale. Every time I have installed Houdini in Ubuntu with Swedish locale I had to use the variable to make Houdini work. One question though.. why is your houdini.env called hodini.env? And otherwise empty? There should already be one in your $home/houdini.15.5 directory. Maybe that's the problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deleted hodini.env ( I didn't saw the type error!) and added LC_ALL = C to the right houdini.env and now everything is fine, no more VEX errors. Thanks a lot Hamp!!

Hamp Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Yay! Glad to hear I'm sure you will enjoy Houdini on Linux as much as I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
