Issue with Deadline and Modo 501 - part 2

Deadline

This is a little strange.

For the most part, I’ve gotten modo render on all machines pretty well aside from the issue in my other post.

However, one machine which has rendered previously has begun acting a bit strange. It gets into the load scene step, begins to give “Image loaded succesfully” then it hangs. But modo is still using part of the CPU, so it’s doing something.

I’m wondering if this is a modo error or deadline error.

0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.

0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.
0: STDOUT: ! ((unknown)) Image loaded successfully.

Then it just hangs, never starting to render.

Since it’s only happening on one machine, my guess would be that the problem is more related to the machine itself, rather than modo or Deadline specifically. Have you tried reinstalling modo and Deadline to see if that makes a difference? If this is a render node, is it possible to re-image it from a working node? Often, this is easier than trying to figure out what the actual problem is.
