Deadline 7 + Modo 701 "modo0" has exited or been terminated.

Deadline

Hi All

I’m getting a fatal error using Deadline 7 + Modo 701 on Linux 64 bit (worth noting that DL7 + Modo 801 is working fine on the nodes).

Here is the job report:

The slave log from says there’s another log in this location on the slave:
/var/log/Thinkbox/Deadline7/deadlineslave_renderthread_0-ip-10-1-55-155-0000.log
but this doesn’t seem to exist.

Any ideas what might be causing this or how I can debug?

I haven’t currently got Deadline 6 running on Linux to do additional tests with, but will give it a shot for comparison when I get a moment.

Thanks

Hello,

So it seems pretty apparent something is causing modo to either close or crash. Can you try to run this job from the Modo UI on that same render node that provided that log? Thanks.

Cheers,

Dwight

Turned out I chose root as the user when installing Deadline and this caused the error. All solved now, thanks!
