Often times, how/when one starts a journey takes one to sites unseen by another who started his/her journey from a different place/time, but their fates are that their paths converge. That isn't intrinsically either good or bad, but it does limit the sites one sees and one's ability to imagine with perfection the sites seen by others who have traveled different routes/at different times. To me, the good and the bad of Linux is that there are multiple parent versions and hordes of children springing from each parent group which makes trouble shooting a ...... It makes for nightmares for early Linux explorers because it's usually roadmapless, i.e., there aren't then step by step tutorials, e.g., on how to run Octane slave on a particular Linux varient. For Ubuntu 14.14 LTS, if there's an extant roadmap, it's great at hiding - go seek.

I just built 11 1080ti machine and it runs so well on linux Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
I need your help - I am very new to linux - how to run Octane slave. When I run .sh file it asks me for port - 48000 as defaults - but then strange info comes... Is there any step by step tutorial of how to run Octane slave on linux?
Smicha,
When I started using computers back in the mid 1980's, I began as a Mac Man and later in the 1980's became a Mac/Amiga Man and later in the 1990's became a Mac/Amiga/Windows Man and still am to this very day. Yes, I still use my ancient Video Toasters. It wasn't until the mid-2000s that I began exploring Linux, and later in the post 2010+ era begin settling upon using Linux Mint as my favorit brand of Linux. I have never used the pure brand Ubuntu. I have never foresaken the Mac as my favorite system. Before the release of Octane's net render functionality, I relied upon discreet network render applications and those made a part of other applications, such as C4d. It wasn't until about 2013 that heard about OctaneRenderer. It wasn't until 2016 that I started using Octane's netrender application and because of my partiality for the Mac, I've always tried to make my Mac the master for my render farm (except for where the 3d application required me to use Windows as the OS). My renderfarm now consists of many systems running MacOS, Linux Mint, Windows 7 and Server. So, until you recently asked me the question: "What shall I run to run Octane slave on linux (ubuntu)?", I would have thought about this discussion that I ran across earlier -
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=41153&p=195020&hil ... 3F#p195020 and answered " just run the Octane slave on the Ubuntu system. But now I know that would't have been a wise response on my part because it appears that you've already done that. I now believe that I need additional information about where you're fully at on your journey to UbuntuVille and how you want to get there.
So, what system OS(s) will you be running on this network? Which system OS(s) do you intend to be on the slaves and which OS(s) will you be running on the master? Theoretically, it shouldn't even matter - at least in a perfect world, but we all know that hasn't ever been yet achieved (nor do I expect it ever will be). So given the world's present, specific imperfections as they relate to Octane netrender installation on various flavors of Linux and other OSs, I also have to ask you to please provide me with that "strange info [output]" so that I can better try to analyze the problem.
