vray slave segmentation fault port 20207

[ignuf]

Hi,

I currently have a mac (mtn lion) and a pc (win 7), been rendering quite happily for over a year with the pc as the main workstation and the mac acting a slave .

all of a sudden the slave isn't working... I do the usual, set up the slave in a terminal and it reports :-

"Entering server mode - waiting for render requests on port 20207. Press Ctrl+C to exit."

I hit render on the main workstation and the slave seems to be fine but then reports a segmentation error at the end. Ive created a simple scene to check and get the same fault ....

just wondering if there's a list of fault codes published anywhere ?

[vlado]

Which V-Ray build is that? Do you have a crash dump?

Also, did you update your Mac recently?

Hi Vlado,

the installation file is "vray_adv_23001_maya2013_x64.exe" - version 2.30.01 from may 11 2012 - I'm not sure re the "crash dump" so I guess I don't have one setup... how can I check ?

also not updated the mac recently .

thanks for getting back

regards

Hi Again,

ok i'm not sure if this helped in some random way but I went into Autodesk/maya2013/vray/bin and in a terminal entered setvrlservice -server1="my pc's ip address" .... this was in an attempt to get the mac to use the license on the pc and render out using vray standalone..... i haven't managed to get the standalone woking as yet but now it seems the vray slave is working again !!

[vlado]

Odd, but I'm glad things are working now

Best regards,
Vlado

@ignuf On the Mac, can you check which version of the WIBU dongle drivers you have installed?
