Deadline 5 and Linux error about franticx

Hi all,

nice to have a forum where you can post such problems like i have with the actual deadline 5 launchers.

I successfully installed deadline 6 repo and client on our linux test machine.
The licensing is installed on our factory machine which already runs a FLEXlm with different vendors. We set up FLEXlm like this:

SERVER HOST MAC 27000 VENDOR A ... VENDOR B ... VENDOR frantic /usr/Deadline/Repository/flexlmTools/linux64/ port=5042

And set up deadline.ini to use this specified settings:

NetworkRoot=/home/user/deadline/repository LauncherListeningPort=5042 LaunchSlaveAtStartup=True AutoConfigurationPort=5043 LicenseServer=27000@HOST

As you can see the Ports we use are 27000 for the lmgrd FLEXlm and 5042 for frantic daemon to speak to deadline.

But we recieve an error about franticx collections that told us the following:

[code]/usr/Deadline/bin/deadlinelauncher

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type ‘FranticX.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection2’ from assembly 'franticx.
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type ‘FranticX.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection2’ from assembly 'franticx.[/code]

We tried to search that on the www but cant get any informations about.
Do we have to use the AutoConfigurationPort 5043 in our license file? Or are we still missing some settings which cant be loaded from frantic and/or other software parts.

Frantic started and loaded the license just fine:

code Using vendor daemon port 5042 specified in license file
(lmgrd) Started frantic (internet tcp_port 5042 pid 2123)[/code]

Maybe someone can bring a little light in our darkness.

Double check to make sure the required version of Mono is installed for your flavor of Linux:
thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … s/#Linux_2

Also, it’s possible that you’re missing one or more mono components. On Fedora for example, you need the mono-core and the mono-data packages.

Which flavor of Linux are you using?
