Re: XSI FND trial on Ubuntu 7.04 (false alarm... *sob*)

[Kris Rivel <krisrivel(at)gmail.com>]

Probably going to get flamed by this but this is exactly the reason I have no intentions of ever going to Linux in the near future.  Too many obstacles, hacks, and shareware drivers, etc. just to get it working smoothly and getting all your apps and various devices working properly.  I just don't see how its worth it even if it does give you a slight speed increase.  Long live Bill Gates! :-)

flame on...

Bugger, thought it was my ubuntu which was upgraded from 6.10 to 7.04
and i though the fault was carried over somehow. Any of the linux guru's
got any suggestions? If all else fails i'd learn gentoo but to be honest
i dont have the time and have a personal dislike for both redhat and
suse.

hmmmm.... so far I've only been testing to import and export OBJ
files, since I'm work with mm... mmm.... ... maya...(still difficult
to say). And that worked like a charm. When trying to open up a
example file XSI crashes with a message:

Illegal instruction (core dumped)

interesting :)

damn... and I was so happy...

I've gotten as far as you did however xsi bombs out without warning when
I try to open a scene. Happened in Ubuntu 6.10 and now 7.04. Anything
special you did to make that part work or did you just use the default
install of ubuntu? Happened on two different machines here. Houdini
Apprentice and Blender works like a charm on those same machines btw.
and I can do stuff in the xsi interface like creating objects and
editing them etc. so I cant imagine it has anything to do with the
graphics. Any pointers?

Thanks,
Fabian

Just installed the trial version on Ubuntu 7.04 and it seems to work
as it should. Instead of the trial version (which isn't updated to
6.01) I just downloaded the SPM and XSI for essentials (which is weird
that you don't need to register for... but for foundation you need
that...).
Requested a 30day trial and installed the keys. Worked like a charm...
only one thing. XSI keeps asking me to accept the license agreement
and forgets all the settings I've changed (since it creates new
preferences or something... or doesn't save the ones I just created.)
