rgelles Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) So first off ---I barely know what I am doing with Linux Mint but wanted to try it out and learn . So I have mananged to download Houdini 13 and extract it and run the setup . The terminal then says that --The Houdini 13.0.198.21 environment has been initialized. ----I then have typed houdinifx , and then I see the license server dialog box say connecting to the license server but then I get a error box saying Houdini License Adminstrator ----cannot connect to license server on dadioL (my named one). So one thought I had was I needed to run the sesinetd.install as well and when I tried in the terminal the terminal imediately closed and I do not know what or if anything occured. When i tried to look into the server information Everyting is x'd out ---server not running, cannot issuer license to this machine etc . and so any help would be very appreciated ----and again am a linux newbie so keep that in mind if you think you can help ----Im threading water with all this ... smiles.

J.Santos Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi Rich! I remember having some of those problems the first time I installed 12.5... Do you have a paid license (starving artist or other)? If so, are you sure you have the correct server name (which is your computer name)? But my best advice is: contact sesi support at support@sidefx.com and explain them the problem (and send the error message you get out of the network license). They are (usually) very fast and extremely helpful! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgelles Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys-- and yes I am right now just trying to get the free version up and running. I am sureit is something I may be missing someplace in my process but since linux is very very new for me ---I would not know if it hit me in the head. I will read some of the docs edward provided and see if I cannot get this to work. Smiles. Edited November 7, 2013 by rgelles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substep Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) is sesinetd running in the activity monitor? under 'all processes'? did you run the installer as root? Edited November 7, 2013 by substep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgelles Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 substep-- Sorry for delay had no had chance to retry all this again. But -----OK sesinetd is not running in my all processes. So I guess that is something I need to get working as well.........I will poke around a little bit some more here and have to reviews edwards link info as well....
