Python Fatal Error

Deadline

Hi! I’m using Deadline on Debian 11 to be my remote connection server. When I start the launcher I get this logs

I’m trying to find the modulo encodings of Python, but I can’t find it anywhere. The Deadline works fine till I submit a job, then, it INSTANTLY crashes and shutdown.

I would like to mention that I tested in Debian 10 too, I got the same issue.

Hello!

Looks like the launcher is connecting to the RCS running localhost and the port also looks different from the default. By default, RCS listens to port 4433 or 8080 depending on running with or without TLS. Can you check on the RCS machine if it is running fine and what port it is listening on?

You can check the client configuration file (deadline.ini) file, the value of the HttpListenPort or TlsListenPort will be the port RCS is listening on. You would need RCS to connect to the Repository Directly to bridge connection from the client to the Database.

Even with the default port I’m getting the same thing.

If I start only the RCS, it runs normally, but when I submit a job, the RCS gives the log:

Are you running 10.2.1.1 for both the Repository and this RCS?

How are you submitting a job?
