topic Re: Render crash on Linux in Maya Forum https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-forum/render-crash-on-linux/m-p/5836518#M71481 I have experienced exactly the same problem. I started to test m2016 in our environment and renders on linux are failing. We are using squidnet as our render manager. I'm including my output to help you investigate the problem. We are running the render using a batch script to set all environments correctly for each maya version we want to use for render. I altered the script to output as much info as possible: Maya2016_arnold.sh <PRE>#!/bin/bash export HOME=/root export MAYA_LOCATION=/usr/autodesk/maya2016 export MAYA_APP_DIR=/root/maya export RLM_LICENSE=xxxxx export ARNOLD_LICENSE_HOST=xxxxxxxxxx export ARNOLD_LICENSE_PORT=xxxxxxxx export MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH=/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/customScripts:/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/customScripts2016 export MAYA_MODULE_PATH=/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/modules2016_linux export MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH=/usr/autodesk/maya2016/bin/plug-ins:/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/plug-ins2016_linux export PATH=$PATH:/usr/autodesk/maya2016/bin export MAYA_RENDER_DESC_PATH=/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/modules2016_linux/_MtoA export MTOA_EXTENSIONS_PATH=/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/modules2016_linux/_MtoA/extensions:/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/modules2016_linux/_Yeti/plug-ins export ARNOLD_PROCEDURAL_PATH=/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/modules2016_linux/_Yeti/bin #export SHAVE_LOCATION=/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/modules2016_linux/_Shave/_maya_folder export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/modules2016_linux/_Shave/plug-ins:/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/modules2016_linux/_Yeti/bin export PYTHONPATH=/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/modules2016_linux/_MtoA/scripts:/usr/autodesk/maya2016/scripts:/mnt/projects/.sys/maya/customScripts:/mnt/projects/.sys/ maya/customScripts2016 env echo -e "Running command:\n/usr/autodesk/maya2016/bin/Render" $@ /usr/autodesk/maya2016/bin/Render $@ </PRE>Render farm will assemble the command like this /opt/squidnet/159977512-4-1878534136.sh <PRE>#!/bin/bash /xxxxxx/Maya2016_arnold.sh -s 4 -e 4 -b 1 -im "test__<RenderPass>" -rd /mnt/projects/3D_TESTY_0000/Maya2016_test/images -ai:lve 1 -a i:as 8 -r arnold -proj /mnt/projects/3D_TESTY_0000/Maya2016_test /mnt/projects/3D_TESTY_0000/Maya2016_test/scenes/test_anim.ma</PRE> When I run this command in shell, everything works as expected.
