deadline6 final release slave craching when monitor is open

hi there,

i posted this problem a few beta-versions ago and unfortunately it´s still present in the final release:

on osx, the slaves are craching after a while (approx 5 minutes) when the monitor is open.
when the monitor is not launched, everything works fine.
here is the crash log: zwonull.com/download/mono_20 … _crash.zip

Unfortunately, we were never able to reproduce this (nor can we reproduce it now). We have tested on 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

I did a quick google search, and I found someone else have the same issue on 10.6.8 with a different application that uses Qt (we use Qt for the user interface in Deadline 6):
comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.user/5916

So it seems to be related to Qt in some way. Out of curiosity, are all of your Macs running 10.6.8? Just trying to figure out if it’s specific to a version of OSX (although we can’t reproduce this on our own machine running 10.6.8).

Cheers,

  • Ryan

no, unfortunately this bug appears on 10.6 and 10.8 as well :frowning:

That’s so odd that it affects all of your machines, and none of ours. No one else has reported this problem either.

Can you try running the slave in nogui mode to see if that makes a difference? Just open a terminal and run this:

/Applications/Thinkbox/Deadline6/Resources/deadlineslave -nogui

we are just in production, but i will test this next week…

thanks

Sounds good. If you’re open for it, perhaps we can even arrange a remote session into one of your machines so we can try to poke around and debug the problem further.

Once you’ve had a chance to test in nogui mode, let us know the results, and we’ll go from there.
