https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-forum/render-crash-on-linux/m-p/5614333#M71480 <P>Wayne was able somewhat reproduce the behaviour by making the $HOME/.autodesk directory read-only:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Is the directory "$HOME/.autodesk" writable? When running the renderer CIP requires the directory to be r/w.</P><P>From the list of environment variables I don't see HOME being defined</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>If I make the ~/.autodesk directory read-only I get a similar error, but not 100% the same.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>--------------------------</P><P>Can you try setting that variable, creating that directory, if it doesn't exist, and making it r/w? Then take the CIP line out of your render script and try a render? Be interesting to see if that was the problem.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Mike</P> Thu, 30 Apr 2015 15:48:11 GMT MikeWile 2015-04-30T15:48:11Z
