6.1 Client on Ubuntu not starting

Hey all, just got 6.1 setup and attempted to run the client on my Linux box so I can check on renders. I’m running Ubuntu 13.04 (I know 12.04 is last officially supported version) and Mono 2.10.8.1 but I’m getting the following message when I attempt to start the launcher:

sudo ./deadlinelauncher
Missing method Contains in assembly /opt/Thinkbox/Deadline6/bin/deadline.dll, type System.Linq.Enumerable
Missing method Contains in assembly /opt/Thinkbox/Deadline6/bin/deadline.dll, type System.Linq.Enumerable

Deadline Slave will now exit.

Thanks for any help.

A little more digging revealed the problem.

Had to install mono-complete not just the mono packages through the software manager. So, for future reference:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

Another issue.

When trying to connect to the repository (it’s mounted successfully to /media/deadlinerepo6) the connection times out and throws this error:

Deadline configuration error: An error occurred while trying to connect to the Database (MT-Render14:27017). It is possible that the Mongo Database server is incorrectly configured, currently offline, blocked by a firewall, or experiencing network issues.
Full error: Unable to connect to server MT-Render14:27017: Connection timed out.

I have other Windows boxes connected successfully.

Thx.

Two things to check:

Can this machine ping your database server using the host name MT-Render14?
Could there be a firewall running on MT-Render14 that’s blocking the communication? Unlikely since your windows machines connect fine, but still worth mentioning.

Cheers,

Ryan

Aha!

The ping revealed all! I added mt-render14 to my hosts file and the manager started right up.

Thanks for the help!
