    We’re looking to change our render box’s over to Linux and upgrade maya as well as muster but we first need to get this to work properly.

    Linux Open Suse 10.2 with Maya 2008, Muster 5.3 Dispacther and client.
    Windows 2000 muster Client 5.3
    Windows 2003 Active directory domain.

    I’m trying to get Muster 5.3 running with Open Suse 10.2 Linux and Windows 2003 active directory Domain. For the most part the linux box is able to connect to the Domain and make changes to the files on the server. I get the error from muster saying “exit code 211 differes from expected code 0” I looked that up in the log file and it basically says cannot find the file “//server/project/scenes/test.mb”. If I use the file browser in linux I can easily get to the file and see that it’s there. So this looks like this is more of a Linux question than a muster question. How do I connect to the server through the command line? Do I need to mount the share somehow? if so how do I do that? Are there any UNIX substitution paths I need to configure?

    I actually just got the server mounted under /server/share. Now in the log it’s still trying to put double slashes to access the file. I tried a few things in the substitution path window it just doesn’t seem like it’s changing anything.

    The log sharing path is streamed to Muster explorer to allow you to check the logs on the remote clients. There’re few ways to set it up under Linux, like setting up a local Samba server (then your log became available under \mypcmyshare) or just redirect the logs on a network server..

    I’m still having problems with getting this to work across the 2 platforms.

    Under the Submission Panel I have the maya scene name as “\fileserverProjectsDefaultscenesscene.mb”

    If I leave it as that the Windows box will render fine and the linux box will give me an error saying can’t find scene name.

    Now I can switch it around as well acording to the linux box. “/mnt/fileserver/Projects/Default/scenes/scene.mb”

    In that case the the linux box will work and the windows will not.

    I’ve tried alot of different things in the Unix substitution paths configuration and I’m not getting any results.

    Can you tell me exactly what I need to put in there? The linux box is also the dispatcher.

    If the linux box is the dispatcher, you’ve to configure it in the following way:

    local: /mnt/fileserver
    win path: \fileserver
    linux path: /mnt/fileserver
    mac path: What you like
