Anyone got Maya 2023 working on Ubuntu 22.04?

Toquitaa — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 06:43:33 GMT

I'm testing Ubuntu 22.04, and I got Maya 2023 installed on it (with some few tweaks to the 2022 script).
I got it all registered fine, was able to login with my Autodesk account, and open Maya... but it crashes on "Showing Application Home".

I wonder if anyone got past this and how you did it?

Thanks

This is weird. If I run Maya from gdb (Gnome Debugger) it starts, although with some messages on the Script Editor:

Hi, I'm considering subscribing to Maya 2023 and I'm on Ubuntu. I installed Maya on Ubuntu Linux in the past (few years ago) and it was painful and the resulting install had issues. I was wondering if the scripts you mentioned are available anywhere to download (including the one for Maya 2023)? Thanks

Installing Maya 2022 on Ubuntu is pretty easy, there's a ready-made script for it: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/learn-explore/caas/simplecontent/content/installing-maya-2022-ubuntu.html?st=install%20maya%20linux

Download Maya 2022.03 from the downloads page, it's the latest 2022 version.

You can try installing 2023, but good luck. I basically followed the same script but edited "2022" to "2023", and on the following line I also edited (aside from 2022 to 2023) the product key section. There's no official word I could find about this, but I noticed it follows an alphabetical order. Last year's was "657M1", this year it's "657N1", I figured for 2023 we should use "657O1" and it worked.

sudo /opt/Autodesk/AdskLicensing/Current/helper/AdskLicensingInstHelper register -pk 657N1 -pv 2022.0.0.F -el EN_US -cf /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/Maya2022/MayaConfig.pit

It seems everything is working, but after launching Maya 2023 on Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 the program hangs at "Showing application home" or something like that (on the splash screen).

app home is based on QtWebEngine from the output in the script editor your installation is not complete/compatible

the libaudiofile message says the system libaudiofile.so is not installed. This is part of the system dev packages. Usually a symlink to libaudiofile.so.1

the missing symbol for webengine is most likely the cause of the problem

possibly there are multiple copies/versions of Qt installed

How is the environment setup

PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Re: Anyone got Maya 2023 working on Ubuntu 22.04?

warnold3 — Sat, 25 Jun 2022 13:53:47 GMT

The path mentioned for webengine

// Error: line 1: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5WebEngine.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN15QtWebEngineCore11closingDownEv, version Qt_5 (mayaVnnPlugin)

shows it’s not the Maya embedded version that is expected to be used

how are you launching Maya ?

using the shell script “maya” which will setup number of EVs including LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ensure Maya’s libraries are found 1st

I installed the Maya on ubuntu using the same script on the link you provided (for 2022). So far it works fine for me. Make sure you have replaced 2022 with 2023 everywhere in last few steps.

Installed Ubuntu 20.04 yesterday. Maya 2023 works there.
However, after upgrading to 22.04, Maya 2023 doesn't work anymore.

GDB doesn't even offer any explanation, sadly.

Also running into this same issue on Ubuntu 22.04 with Maya 2023. I ran the licenser, and when I start the app the splash screen shows up, but the UI never starts up. Not sure whether this is an issue on the Ubuntu side, or the Maya side?

Re: Anyone got Maya 2023 working on Ubuntu 22.04?

warnold3 — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 02:32:50 GMT

Is the problem the App Home starting screen. It’s based on QtWebEngine, if there is a conflict with installed system libraries may not work

can you set environment variable: export MAYA_NO_HOME=1

before launching Maya from the command line

/usr/autodesk/maya2023/bin/maya

what if anything is output to the terminal window

Andrew, if you can test warnold's solution, please do so. I'm unfortunately unable to test this right now. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 on a middle of a job.

I just tried that and it worked! Amazing! Thanks so much for the help.

Re: Anyone got Maya 2023 working on Ubuntu 22.04?

Toquitaa — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 05:20:32 GMT

Thought it would be a long shot, but it worked!
I tried running that command through the terminal before launching, but it didn't work. What I had to do was edit my "/home/toquita/maya/2023/Maya.env" but now it works! Thank you so much.

warnold3 — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 16:52:31 GMT

nice.

I would still be interested in the console output when MAYA_NO_HOME=1 is not set. to better understand what the root cause is. what conflict there is with Maya's libQt5WebEngine.so

what the environment is setup as.

Ran it with gdb, not sure if there's any flags you want me to parse during debugging.

Not sure it's helpful but I also ran it through gdb with the "no home" variable.
I noted that Maya kinda bugs out when running it through gdb, like that arnold error or the libffi.something error you can see on the video/text linked below.

None of this happens if I just run it via the regular icon (which, instead of starting the .bin file, starts a .sh file, but I don't know how I can run .sh files on gdb).

And here is the terminal output while running it normally via terminal/icon: https://pastebin.com/raw/4b7K2gTH

Hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Re: Anyone got Maya 2023 working on Ubuntu 22.04?

warnold3 — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 19:17:32 GMT

Maya should be run from the "maya" shell script such that its environment is set-up as expected.

to run Maya under gdb can launch as:

/usr/autodesk/maya2023/bin/maya -d gdb

yes Maya under gdb may need some extra care.

I would prefer to not run under gdb and see the results with MAYA_NO_HOME=1. launched from the Maya shell script: maya
