Vrayslave fails on wxWidgets (Linux)

V-Ray for Maya V-Ray for Maya :: Issues

Hi,

I’m trying to use some rack mounted linux boxes for vrayslave but get a strange error. I have had the slave running good on our OSX workstations before. It complains on wxWidgets but there should be no UI in the console render, so that seem unnecessary…

Using the fix from this post I managed to get it to run. :grin:

I edited the vrayslave command to include “-display=0”

Thanks for the pointer; we need to add this opton to the vrayslave script by default…

Best regards,

Hi,

This problem should be fixed in the next nightly build.
