this always happens to me when I try to run studio on Linux.it is a package error given the 100 of variations of Linux I wish
next limit would write a check in their installation to verify all packages needed to run studio. Otherwise I'm stuck waiting around for them to get around to installing this


I've already opened the case for NL to login my Linux

$ ./studio
./studio: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.56: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This should be fixed on Maxwell 5. Did you install maxwell before installing studio?

[James Linehan]

I upgraded to studio 5.0. It's only one installer called studio? where's the Maxwell render part? doesn't it install the simultaneously or is the renderer is that a separate download? I only see one executable to download this is really unclear

Thank you

[James Linehan]

This is a new install of Linux since for some reason 5.0 requires 4.0 I'm pretty much stuck in the same situation I was when I can not get 4.0 working on Linux. Hopefully they can get to my problem when you open Friday

[Brany]

I see what is happening here. The Maxwell Render installer is not available in https://portal.nextlimit.com/downloads. This is a problem in Linux since the Maxwell Studio installer doesn't contain the Maxwell Render installer (Windows and OSX Maxwell Studio installers doesn't work that way, they are self-contained).

I am reporting this in order to be solved asap.

Once you have the Maxwell Render installer ready to be downloaded, remember that you need to install both products in linux: Maxwell Render and Maxwell Studio. And both in the same folder.

I know that installing our products shouldn't be that complicated. We are working on improve this in the future.

PD: James, please see your PM inbox

[Brany]

Maxwell Render installer is ready to be downloade from https://portal.nextlimit.com/downloads

any suggestion??

thanks

We need more info:

What Linux distribution are you using?
Is a virtual machine or a remote desktop (VNC)?
Maxwell Render works properly?

We detected that Studio can crash sometimes creating thumbnails for the Resources Browser. Could you try to rename the "materials database" folder in order to avoid Studio to parse it?

[James Linehan]

Ubuntu Studio 19.10

all programs crash

I have sent in a case Ticket with a way to VNC to my linux but no word yet on your end.

[James Linehan]

I renamed the folder

Hi James,

since there are a gazillion linux distros each with its own way of distributing packages and libraries, we have to distribute some libraries that are needed by maxwell et. al. and may or not be present in every linux distro (namely headless servers).
In Ubuntu Studio 19.10, we have found that removing some libraries from the maxwell (and studio) installation folder makes programs work. Make a temp folder somewhere and move these libraries there:

libbz2.so.1 libfreetype.so.6 libGLX.so.0 libX11.so.6 libXrender.so.1
libc.so.6 libgcc_s.so.1 libICE.so.6 libX11-xcb.so.1 libz.so.1
libdl.so.2 libGLdispatch.so.0 libm.so.6 libXau.so.6
libEGL.so.1 libGL.so.1 libpthread.so.0 libxcb.so.1
libexpat.so.1 libGLU.so.1 librt.so.1 libXext.so.6
libfontconfig.so.1 libglut.so.3 libSM.so.6 libXi.so.6

Hope this helps.
Regards.
Miguel.

I got it working
I had to leave this one this one

I am getting a lot of these {see image} also

You are running the Guggenheim_museum_Bilbao scene included with denoiser activated right?

[James Linehan]

yes I believe that's what is called. It's Museum with the water. I'm transferring a lot of stuff from the Windows 10 is there any way of correcting all these misdirected paths
