Hi Maya Forums,
I have been using Maya 2024.2 on Fedora 41 and I have run into yet another problem with the program. I can only launch Maya once on my desktop and then after I close it, I get a crash upon launching the next time. If I launch Maya via the terminal, I see ther is an error saying there is a segmentation fault. I have not gotten this error before and I only started getting the error yesterday. I can bypass this error by rebooting my system, but then it will crash again if I close the program, forcing me to leave Maya on throughout the whole day. The only unorthodox modification I have made to Maya is having to uninstall the Autodesk Identity Manager every time I want to use Maya, but that has not made this error appear.
I have also tried Launching with the parameter MAYA_DISABLE_CIP=1 and that only made the program crash upon entering the viewport rather than before I see the welcome screen.
Before the program crashes, I saw that there is a line about arnold and it references clang, adlsdk and optix and I am wondering if that could be a clue as to why Maya is crashing now.
So before I go and try to setup a distrobox container for Maya, is there anything I can do to further diagnose what is going on with the program? Is Maya 2026 more stable with newer Linux distros? I will not be able to upgrade yet because Renderman is not supported on 2026 yet but I am curious reguardless.
Thanks
