Getting Octane to work on Linux Tweet

[itaki]

Running NukeX 12.0v5 I'm having problems getting octane to run. I try to make the most simple scene with just a camera, a sphere and an octane node and it's just black.

It's notable that I can create a camera node before creating an octane node just fine, but as soon as I create an octane node, every time I try to create a camera node it errors and says "libNukeFBX.so: undefined symbol:_ZN6fbxsdk12FbxAllocSizeEmm

It's also notable that I was able to both run the standalone and the Blender plugin without issue.

As a side note, the manual says to add the plugin location to the NUKE_PATH environment variable and set the LD_PRELOAD variable. I tried dropping this into .bashrc, but it didn't work, so I added the location of the plugin to my init.py file. But thinking that I probably wasn't still setting the LD_PRELOAD variable and that may be the problem, I manually set both of these in my terminal before starting the application, but still have the same problem.

Still wondering where I can set these 2 things permanently. I'm still a noob when it comes to some things on Linux. I'm a VFX artist after all. Not a developer.

Hi

I don't think your .bashrc or init.py solutions will work.

My script for running the plugin on Mint 19.2 (which is Ubuntu 18.04) is:

Code: Select all

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
export NUKE_PATH=/usr/local/NUKE/12.0/plugins/OctaneRender.bundle
cd /usr/local/Nuke12.0v2
./Nuke12.0

Which specific plugin installer did you use?

Also, FYI, the next version of the plugin will be for Nuke12.1.

Thanks

Paul

I see, launching from a script works.

Thanks!
