I'm sorry, nrygpu. I'm at a loss. You may want to try a different daemon port ( I use 5405.) But it really shouldn't matter, unless something is specifically not allowing that port through.

I'll back out of the thread and see if someone else can spot the trouble.

I am going to try with v3.053 and see if that makes any difference.

Okay so I have installed/setup Octane version 3.05.3 on both the master and slave as shown here: https://www.screencast.com/t/0QRmb1tlCe

I am still getting the same results of no slaves showing up at all.

Here is the new logging output from version 3.05.3

Also you can clearly see that the octane slave daemon is running on the Ubuntu Linux GPU server:

I am now starting to get beyond frustrated with this as I just upgrade all of my Octane licenses to v3

Can someone please offer up any help? OTOY??? How do I contact OTOY support? This is an urgent issue now.

After several more hours of perseverance and being determined to get this working....FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!!!

I managed to get netRender to work on the Linux GPU slave. Instead of running the slave daemon on the Ubuntu GPU slave machine I ran this command:
sudo ./octane_slave --net-master-address 10.0.0.90 --net-master-port 1025

Now I am getting the following command line logging output from the Ubuntu GPU slave: http://pastebin.com/sUz5qczi

​However, I am still not seeing the slave show up in the OctaneRender Network Preferences windows on the Windows C4D Master computer. This is at least progress as it seems like netrender is now working. However the slave daemon does not seem to work.

If anyone can now help me troubleshoot the remaining issues it would be great:
1. Why the slave does not show up in the master network preferences GUI (priority)
2. Why the slave daemon does not seem to allow netrender to function at all. (not that important)
I am okay with having to manually run the above command in Linux to launch the octane_slave executable. However, I would like to be able to see the slave show up on the master in the Octane C4D Network Preference GUI...

Here is a screenshot showing netRender clearly working on the Ubuntu GPU slave, but as you can see it not showing to the left on the master. https://www.screencast.com/t/xIZFAmUn

Hello,

I just found one thing that may be causing an issue. I have setup a totally fresh Ubuntu 16.04 LTS install and when I get to the part of executing the Linux command: sudo ./install-daemon.sh
to install the slave daemon it is showing the following console output:

ubuntu@cosmosgpu16:~/octane$ sudo ./install-daemon.sh
### OctaneRender Slave Daemon installation
please enter a network port for the daemon between 1024-65355
Leave empty for default (48000):
created the daemon startup script /home/ubuntu/octane/run_octane_daemon.sh
./install-daemon.sh: 77: ./install-daemon.sh: bc: not found
./install-daemon.sh: 77: [: !=: unexpected operator
create the desktop file octane_daemon.desktop
copy desktop file for menu inclusion into /home/ubuntu/.local/share/applications
copy desktop file for auto-run into /home/ubuntu/.config/autostart
ubuntu@cosmosgpu16:~/octane$

Does this look correct or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Ry
