I am using Blender-Octane 16.6
So I formatted my dual boot system to go to a full linux system and everything went perfect so far installing my apps, setting my system etc.
Here are the steps regarding Octane:
I went to my account - licences - > downloads so it led me to 2019.1.5??? I got confused by the message "For users still using OctaneRender 4, it is possible to access this Test Release thanks to our specially-made "Regular" versions" so......
1. I downloaded those file (MISTAKE!!!)
https://render.otoy.com/customerdownloa ... stable.run
https://render.otoy.com/customerdownloa ... stable.run
as this didn't work I
2. Used the .run files I had downloaded and installed those files. There were leftovers that I deleted as best as I could.
3. Downloaded Blender Octane Edition - v16.6 Linux and installed.....
blender gets stuck.
4. Used the app timeshift and went back to how everything was before step 1 (however my home folder was not in any way restored)
5. tried step 3 again... it seems my license was locked (to my current system!) so I had to use one of my unlocks... still no luck.
Octane server ternimal gets stuck at Octane: Starting Octane engine... One line each time I try to start a render or go to.
Please help me solve this.
