stopping slave after current task completion

Deadline Version: 7.0.0.26 R (c53f90c95)
OSX 10.9.4

from the machine running a slave. the same machine is also running the mongodb if that helps debug.

during maya rendering, i choose “stop slave after current task completion”

i am prompted for a userid and password… which appears when the task appears to be complete… then the slave becomes unresponsive and and i have to force quit. this is not happening every time. but it appears it is trying to attach a debugger… not sure if you’re getting these tracebacks or not. also i don’t know where to look to provide any additional crash info.

from console:

trying it again i got this:

then i killed it and got this:

8/31/14 9:08:17.155 PM WindowServer[133]: CGXSetWindowListSystemAlpha: Invalid window 264 (index 0/1)

and i’m attaching the diagnostic report to the post. looking in the directory where the .hang file was being dumped… it looks like i might be getting one of those for each of these attempts to close the slave after rendering finishes. let me know if you want me to send all of them.

In beta 3, we’ll be updating our Qt libraries to version 5.3.1 (which we use for the user interface). The version we were using in beta 1 and 2 (5.2) had some issues that affected how the slave closed down, and it’s possible that this could explain what you’re seeing (although we never saw this issue ourselves).

Once beta 3 is released (in the next week or two), can you upgrade and test if this same problem occurs? If it does, we’ll have to debug further.

Thanks!
Ryan

will do!
