Maya 2020 on Ubuntu Budgie 20.10 help

[Anonymous]

I've been following the steps found in:

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/learn-explore/caas/simplecontent/content/installing-maya...

So far so good, managed to get the Activation screen to load. However when Maya is about to start it crashes with this error:

I'm using maya2020-64_2020.0-236_amd64, Ubuntu Budgie 20.10.

I've tried replacing maya's hashlib with a my custom 2.7 hashlib and it just gives a segfault. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I've managed to get rid of the HashError, but the PyEval_Code error still happens. Anybody have any ideas?

Same problem here

[Anonymous · Accepted solution]

The only solution I could find here was to use the 20.04 LTS release . After that I was able to install Maya with the instructions they've given there.

Exactly my case. I had to reinstall Ubuntu back to 20.04 and now it finally works as expected

To fix the libffi.so.8 error on 20.10 (Ubuntu/PopOS) you need to have the older version of this library: libffi.so.7.1.0 and force it to Maya by using:

export LD_PRELOAD="/pathToTheLibrary/libffi.so.7.1.0"

in terminal before running maya by:

/usr/autodesk/maya2020/bin/maya

To get this library on PopOS I just installed the .deb from https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/pm/libffi-dev

I installed the version for focal (downagrading) and then installed the groovy (upgrading back again)

That gave me the 7.1.0 version in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/, without messing up my system too much.

On bare Ubuntu its a bit more complicated because it doesn't let you downgrade the package so easily, but try searching your system for libffi.so.7.1.0, you might have it as part of some app somewhere, in which case try to force the path to it with LD_PRELOAD.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Thanks, man! That worked perfectly!
