launcher won't start slave

Using v6 beta9 on linux. On some hosts, the launcher will run without errors but won’t start a slave instance no matter what I do. The launcher log has no errors in it. When I start the launcher the log shows:

2013-01-21 11:23:22: BEGIN - r033\root

But the slave is not running and status is stalled. If using remote control I do a slave restart then this is what I see in the logs:

but the slave does not start. There are a handful of hosts like this. There are no slave logs in /var/log/Thinkbox/Deadline6

Thanks,

Let me add that there are enough free licenses and the deadline.ini file is identical on all hosts.

That’s strange that this only affects some machines and not others. I’m assuming you can run the slave manually on these machines?

After a failed attempt to launch a slave, does a new slave log get created in the Deadline log folder? If so, can you post it?

Arg! This was a mono installation issue on our end. Everything working now.
