Yello,
trying to install houdini on arch garuda linux, and something is very broken.
my proccess(following How do I install Houdini on Linux? | SideFX this guide:
- download “legacy installer”, extract/
sudo ./houdini.install, install 1-5,10cd /opt/hfs20.0,source houdini_setupusing bashhoudinithrowshttp:djkato-work:1715: No server running.sudo systemctl start sesinetd, get errorFailed to start sesinetd.service: Unit sesinetd.service not found.- try to install the service by doing
sudo ln -s /opt/hfs20.0/houdini/sbin/sesinetd.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/,sudo systemctl enable sesinetd.service,sudo systemctl start sesinetd.service. Shows no errors but running houdini I still get the same issue. - looking at the service file, it’s pointing to some usr/lib directory in
ExecStart, so I modified it to point atExecStart=/opt/hfs20.0/houdini/sbin/sesinetd -D, run service again but same issue. - run
/opt/hfs20.0/houdini/sbin/sesinetd -Ddirectly, get errorid: ‘www-data’: no such userandid: ‘sesinetd’: no such user.
-give up.
I’m honestly at a loss. I did try if the launcher helps, but there docs for linux are incomplete, and it would install it probably wrong anyways.
any help appreciated.
