    We’ve moved over our renderfarm to Muster 8 and to Linux,
    and everything works great except for Maya 2015.

    When muster tries to renders with Maya 2015 it errors out with:
    Error: Can’t open display:
    // Maya exited with status 1

    But the exact same job submitted with Maya 2014 runs
    perfectly. Our templates just uses the provided maya/arnold
    template with only the install paths modified.
    The 2014 and 2015 templates are identical so I’m confused why
    one would work but not the other.

    Alex,

    I think this is something related to the X window system and Maya 2015, by the way, if the DISPLAY env fixes your issue , you can just modify the templates, to include the environment preparation you need:

    def onBuildEnvironment(self, job, chunk, clientTemplatePreferences, existingEnvironment):
    environment = existingEnvironment
    environment.setValue(“DISPLAY”,”The value you need”)
    return environment

    Let me know if this solves your needs,

    I faced exactly the same issue when I moved to maya2016 sp4. Eventually it got fixed by removing the ~/maya directory completely. Only deleting the ~/maya/2016 wasn’t helping as I guess maya kept copying in some settings from older versions
