Octane crashes before GUI load

[greyoxide]

I messed up grub yesterday and ended up having to reinstall Ubuntu today. Now when I try to use Octane it crashes before it even loads the interface.

I just successfully installed the latest Cuda toolkit today, and I am using the latest Nvidia drivers (worked previously).

here is what the terminal gives me when I try to run Octane

Code: Select all

octane: malloc.c:3096: sYSMALLOc: Assertion `(old_top == (((mbinptr) (((char *) &((av)->bins[((1) - 1) * 2])) - __builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, fd)))) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= (unsigned long)((((__builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, fd_nextsize))+((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1)) & ~((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1))) && ((old_top)->size & 0x1) && ((unsigned long)old_end & pagemask) == 0)' failed.
Aborted

Any help is appreciated.

Hi, i had something like that with opensuse 11.3 because it load the nouveau driver for nvidia cards per default.
Although i installed the nvidia driver, the nouveau module was loaded and blocked any cuda and some opencl software.
From ubuntu 10.04 the default driver also is nouveau.
Try "lsmod" in console to make shure you don´t have the same problem though your error message looks like a memory problem.

Programs must properly manage dynamic memory allocated through the use of malloc to avoid memory leaks and memory corruption.(wiki)

Cheers mib
