Maya 2014 Crashes on OpenSuse 12.3

[Anonymous]

First you need to know that for 12.3 you will need the following libraries :

libpng12.so.0
libtiff.so.3
Symlink of libssl.so.10 to libssl.so.1.0.0
libcrypto.so.10

I've uploaded those libraries to my Google Drive to make the setup easier for me and others in the community.

Here's the link to the libraries : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-CK...it?usp=sharing

Fire up the terminal. For this example I will be using "michael" as the user. Supposing the Autodesk Maya2014 is in your Documents, first we will "su -" command for root permission :

su -

password: ( then input your password )

Then we will have to navigate to the where the Maya installation folder is with the "cd" command :

cd /home/michael/Documents/Autodesk_Maya_2014_English_Linux_64bit

Then we will make the setup run with the "./" command like this :

./setup

You should have your autodesk license from the http://students.autodesk.com/ web site and continue with the full installation.

After every library has been installed along with the maya setup itself you should will type inside the terminal:

maya

It should activate online and open application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, here's the catch...

I did that sort of tutorial post so that everyone can install Autodesk Maya2014 on they're systems and tell me if it crashes after launching.

The application opens with a pop-up that I know it's normal because it's a student version and once you press the Continue button it crashes.

The terminal shows this :

maya encountered a fatal error

Signal: 11 (Unknown Signal)
Fatal Error. Attempting to save in /tmp/michael.20130602.1700.ma
QWidget::setWindowModified: The window title does not contain a '

' placeholder


Please if anyone gets around this let me know.


My computer specs are:

Asrock H55M-LE
Core i7 870
8GB DDR3 1600mhz
Nvidia GTX 550 ti


- Note* On this machine I swap hard drives and I have Autodesk Maya 2014 installed on Windows and it runs. After making the Opensuse instalation on the new HDD I just installed, all I did was update the system and install the nvidia drivers. I will try with the default nouveau drivers and post back on the results.

[warnold1]

Maya is not going to like the nouveau drivers

To. Be helpful more information is required

Setting environment variable MAYA_DEBUG_ENABLE_CRASH_REPORTING=1 in you Maya.env file or before launching Maya should give a stack trace of the crash. Least gives some idea of where the problem is

Or while the crash dialog is up, use gdb to attach to the maya.bin process and get the stack trace of all the threads

gdb maya.bin PID

Where PID is the process ID of maya.bin

Else run maya under the debugger. maya -d gdb

gdb command for thread back trace

thread apply all bt

Hi warnold, Thank you so much for the reply.Yep Nvidia is the way to go.

I posted the same problem at the opensuse forum, here's the link:

https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/487219-autodesk-maya-2014-l...


I got it working by just adding the user to the video group.

Yast Control Center -> Security and Users -> User and Group Managment and then double click the user and click the Details tab and check the " Video " box at the Additional Groups Section and click OK.

Many thanks to the opensuse community specialy to wolfi323 and Knurpht.

I change the GTX 550 Ti for 3 GTX 670 configured in SLI and this is the results :
