Exist there a way to get debug information of octane? the error message is not tell a lot. Can we run octane in debug mode or trace mode? For me there is no other possibility to find out the error.
Where is saved the gui information of octane? I cannot find a config file like .octane or .refractivesoftware. How can i debug this problem now?


You can't at the moment and if there is no error printed in the console then no error occured. Could you please post a screen shot of what you get?

Thanks,
Marcus

Hi abstrax (Marcus), i attached the cube as an image in this attachements. You can see that one edge is not parallel with the other edges.
If i try to render a sphere, then octane crashes with the error message: 'ERROR: Program executed illegal instruction.. terminating'. With this error message i cannot find out the error. Octane has no proper error handling. I strongly recomment to create a trace version of octane to find out the code position where it crashes. Perhaps i can do it for you because i am a C++ programmer. If you do this, then you will find the problems faster and you have less support times. You will the winner of this method, and we are the winner because we can work: win to win! To do this is easy.

Second i cannot find out where the gui settings are saved? I cannot find a conf file. Perhaps i have to create one then please tell me how. On each start i have a shrinked gui. With "Save as default" nothing changes. Perhaps there is a right problem in linux so that octane cannot save the gui settings. Therefore i need to know where octane writes the gui settings to.

Exists there some test programs to find out the error? I really want to work with octane but at the moment it is not possible. Perhaps it is a bug in cuda. Exist there a known bug?

Greatings, Stephan.

I reinstalled the cuda 4.0 and tested it with the cuda program nbody. All works fine, therefore cuda is installed properly. But now i cannot start octane. I closes immediately with error message "ERROR: Program executed illegal instruction.. terminating". I have no chance to find out the error with this error message.

How can i make it work?

glxgears gives you also no error,if you close it with esc?
You can start glxgears in a terminal...

Hi grenzfrequence, i am working with 2.48c, cuda toolkit 4.017, driver 275.19 and a gtx 260 on opensuse 11.4/64 without problems (except PMC).
Did you try to start octane with gdb?
If it start try files from the demo suite.

You can start glxgears in a terminal...

glxgears display is juddering and stucking, but the terminal output is as follows:

Code: Select all

51858 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10371.496 FPS
41563 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8312.461 FPS
42853 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8570.406 FPS
51002 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10200.393 FPS
52693 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10538.506 FPS
52388 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10477.437 FPS

ESC quits the glxgears and there is no error message.

Is this test ok? Or does it mean that there is something wrong?

This i tried as well, but there are no debugging information, the result of gdb octane is as follows:

Is there another way to find out the problem? Or do i have to use gdb different?

Greatings,

Stephan.

[mib2berlin]

Yes, after "gdb octane" you have to type "run" and after chrash "bt" for backtrace.
You got not to many info here but maybe it helps.

Cheers, mib.

This are the error messages i got from gdb:


first:

(gdb) run

Can you find out here what the problem is? Perhaps the octane team?

Greatings, Stephan.

[grenzfrequence]

I only called octane, without obj-file:

But octane calls the method TriangleMesh::buildRenderMesh().

Could it be that it tries to open an obj-file? But where is the default scene, i cannot find one.

Greatings, Stephan.

Have you used sometime the "save as default" from the File menu?
