Octane Demo Crash on Start up [ubuntu 10.10 64bit] Tweet

[johantri]

When i try to open Octane by double clicking on the octanedemo file, it shows splash screen for 0.5 second and just went nothing. So i try to open it via terminal by using ./octanerender command. It shows something like this.



Help ?? Thanks

You must fully uninstall Cuda 3.2 and install Cuda 3.0 instead.

what ? so this is a bug then ? so how am i suppose to 'fully' uninstall ? in the getting started linux.pdf said that i just have to delete the folder, is that the way it is ?

thanks for your reply...

This is not a bug you have. The octane demo has been explicitely built for Cuda 3.0 and NVidia didn't preserve upward compatibility.

What I mean is that you shouldn't rely on the installer itself to cleanup the previous install.
Once you're done with the install, create a cuda.conf file so you have the followng:

Code: Select all

lionel@pc-lionel:~$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/cuda.conf
/usr/local/cuda/lib64


and then run

Code: Select all

sudo ldconfig

There's a linux installation instructional video here: http://www.refractivesoftware.com/demot ... linux.html
