Errors running hython

[johanboekhoven]

Hi @aaronsmithtv,

I'm able to succesfully build/run the docker and do the following steps:

docker run -it --rm aaronsmithtv/hbuild:latest
hserver -C -S https://www.sidefx.com/license/sesinetd --clientid $SIDEFX_CLIENT --clientsecret $SIDEFX_SECRET
sesictrl ping --client-id $SIDEFX_CLIENT --client-secret $SIDEFX_SECRET

With the correct API keys etc, eveything looks succesful.

But when I try to run hython from that shell I get the following error:

root@248923a03d83:/opt/hfs20.0/houdini# hython
OpenCL Exception: No OpenCL platform found. (-32)
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.

I'm not sure if I'm missing any configuration steps, or perhaps Hou20 needs another config.
The above is running from windows/docker desktop.

Thanks for any info, -Johan

Hey Johan, thanks for raising this with me, before I do some investigating do you think you could see if a previous hbuild image version works? 19.5.716 is the latest non-20 version.

[johanboekhoven]

Hey Aaron, thanks for the quick reply. Here are the 19.5 results:

I've hidden the api details, again a login error, albeit a bit different, so I'm probably doing something wrong, just not sure what.

@johanboekhoven, it looks like you didn't log in to SideFX so hython can't redeem the license. For my cases, I am doing it like this, and it works.

# Connect to license server
hserver -C -S https://www.sidefx.com/license/sesinetd \
    --clientid $SIDEFX_CLIENT \
    --clientsecret $SIDEFX_SECRET

# Check that license is available with sesictrl
sesictrl ping
# Redeem license
sesictrl login --email $SIDEFX_EMAIL --password $SIDEFX_PASSWORD
echo "Sleeping for 5 seconds to allow license to be redeemed"
sleep 5
hython

[johanboekhoven]

@edhar-rybak Ok, that does work, thanks! Looking back it does hint at it in the error, but I was assuming the API key would be enough. So what is the relation between the API key and the login then? In my view you need only one of the two.

[aaronsmithtv]

Glad to see you managed to get a fix @johanboekhoven! Thanks so much for helping out @edhar-rybak. I will be closing this issue now but feel free to open another if you run into anything else :)
