Hi,

I install the apprentice of Houdini 16 and when I open it I have this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<stdin>”, line 2, in <module>
File “/opt/hfs16.0.504.20/houdini/python2.7libs/sas/localassets.py”, line 1780, in ensure_webresponder_server_is_running
_web_responder_api = webresponder.start_server(WebResponderAPI)
File “/opt/hfs16.0.504.20/houdini/python2.7libs/sas/webresponder.py”, line 26, in start_server
logger = _create_logger()
File “/opt/hfs16.0.504.20/houdini/python2.7libs/sas/webresponder.py”, line 69, in _create_logger
hutil.file.ensureDirExists(sas.localassets.asset_store_dir())
File “/opt/hfs16.0.504.20/houdini/python2.7libs/hutil/file.py”, line 24, in ensureDirExists
os.makedirs(dir_path)
File “/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py”, line 157, in makedirs
mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: Permission denied: ‘/home/matevil/houdini16.0/asset_store’

and I see all icon black

I use Ubuntu 16.04, any ideas for fix it?
Thank you
Matteo

Try running this first prior to starting Houdini
mv ~/houdini16.0 ~/houdini16.0.old

This moves aside your preferences and gets Houdini to generate them again.

As a workaround, set this environment variable prior to starting Houdini
export LC_ALL=C

I have created a regular expression to automatically edit the .desktop

sudo sed -i 's/\(^Exec=\)\(.*\)/\1sh -c \"LANG=en_US.UTF-8 \&\& \2\"/g' /usr/share/applications/sesi_houdinifx16.0.504.20.desktop
