Error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "DeadlineSlave\UI\Forms\MainWindowSlaveStartup.py", line 88, in Startup NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at FranticX.Text.IniFileWriter.WriteIniFile(String filename) at FranticX.Text.IniFile.SetIniFileSetting(String iniFile, String section, String key, String value) at Deadline.Configuration.DeadlineConfig.SetIniFileSetting(String key, String value, Boolean allUsers) at Deadline.Slaves.AutoConfiguration.CheckAutoConfiguration(Boolean licenseOnly)

Every single one of our slaves now crashes on startup with this error.

A little back story. We restarted our file server this morning. We lost all of our repository configurations somehow in the process. So it could be a misconfiguration or something but I’m concerned that something is corrupted which caused us to lose our repo settings.

Turning off pulse fixed the crashing. A little worried though about turning it back on.

Thanks for reporting this. Sounds like there is an issue with some auto-configuration settings. We’ve fixed the code in our internal build so that this shouldn’t happen in beta 4 and later.

Can you turn Pulse back on and restart one of your slaves to see if the problem persists? If it does, turn Pulse back off and let us know and we’ll go from there.

Cheers,
