Upgraded Ubuntu from 20.04 to 22.04 and Houdini 19.0.589 no longer works.

As Hampus says, the fix was specifically added in the daily builds AFTER the most recent 19.0.589 production build. This was intentionally done because it needs wider testing BEFORE it is released in a production build. If the other reports can be trusted, you'll need to either use the latest 19.0 daily build, or wait until the next production build in a roughly a month's time.

I use karma XPU and arnold GPU render the same scene. karma XPU not support AOVS and geomety light and render very slow per frame. Arnold GPU is more production ready. AOVS and geo light all supported with faster render time. but the downside of arnold gpu is not utilize cpu and gpu at sametime. karma xpu can utilize them all. maybe I can use karma for all my rending jobs in the future

Why is this relevant to this thread?

Hello

I trying to load Houdini with export LD_PRELOAD="/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_malloc_debug.so.0". However - possible that I'm just stupid -, this file is not present on my system.

michael@go:/opt/sidefx/launcher/bin $ hostnamectl 
   Static hostname: go
         Icon name: computer-laptop
           Chassis: laptop
        Machine ID: ...
           Boot ID: ...
  Operating System: Linux Mint 20.3
            Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-122-generic
      Architecture: x86-64

I coudn't find out which package is necessary to have libc_malloc_debug.so.0available. Anyone here to point me in the right direction?

Thank you so much,
Michael

Do NOT do this anymore. Just use the latest 19.0 production build. The libc issue was fixed back in 19.0.594.

If an unconfigured latest 19.0 production build doesn't start up on your Linux box, then it's more than likely it's just because you don't have all the required packages. Under https://www.sidefx.com/Support/system-requirements/ [www.sidefx.com] it says
libxkbcommon-x11, libxcb-icccm4, and libxcb-render-util packages required for Linux users

If you continue to encounter Qt errors on startup, then check that you have installed the Qt required packages found here:
Qt for X11 Requirements https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-requirements.html [doc.qt.io]

And if that still doesn't work, it's a different issue and log a bug with support (see Support > Report a Bug/RFE above).

I had the same issue with segfaulting on startup with 19.5 (and with 19.0). Possible solution is to install the OpenCL-Drivers for your GPU. E.g. for my nvidia card I had to install 'opencl-nvidia' (maybe a different name for your distro).
You can check whether you have the library installed via `ldconfig -p | grep opencl`. The Output should contain references to the OpenCL library. For example:
libnvidia-opencl.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libnvidia-opencl.so.1
libnvidia-opencl.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libnvidia-opencl.so

Just for further reference the error in the log-File was (when starting 'houdini-bin'):
signalCallback(UTsignalHandlerArg) <libHoudiniUT.so>
UT_Signal::UT_ComboSignalHandler::operator()(int, siginfo_t*, void*) const <libHoudiniUT.so>
UT_Signal::processSignal(int, siginfo_t*, void*) <libHoudiniUT.so>

_nv011glcore <libnvidia-glcore.so.515.65.01>
_nv011glcore <libnvidia-glcore.so.515.65.01>
<libGLX_nvidia.so.0>
vk_icdNegotiateLoaderICDInterfaceVersion <libGLX_nvidia.so.0>

starting via the launcher did produce this error:
Traceback from 14134 ThreadId=0x7fbd4cc99e40

AP_Interface::si_CrashHandler::chaser(UTsignalHandlerArg) <libHoudiniUI.so>

In my case this fix is not working:
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.

Ubuntu 21.10

That's a different error though.
You have to do
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxcb-xinerama0
to fix this one.



thanks! it helped me with houdini launcher not launching (no pun intended) on ubuntu 22.04

I'm running Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS with the Nvidia Driver with Houdini 19.5.605 and I was getting pretty much the same issue as several people here but fortunately it got fixed after installing "lsb-core" as someone else pointed out.

Do NOT do this anymore. Just use the latest 19.0 production build. The libc issue was fixed back in 19.0.594.

However, I can only get this working like this for the time being, so maybe there is a better solution somewhere:

[michael@pocket3 hfs19.5.640] $ source houdini_setup
The Houdini 19.5.640 environment has been initialized.
[michael@pocket3 hfs19.5.640] $ whereis /usr/lib/libc_malloc_debug.so.0
libc_malloc_debug.so.0: /usr/lib/libc_malloc_debug.so.0 /usr/lib32/libc_malloc_debug.so.0
[michael@pocket3 hfs19.5.640] $ export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libc_malloc_debug.so.0"
[michael@pocket3 hfs19.5.640] $ env | grep LD_PRELOAD
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libc_malloc_debug.so.0
[michael@pocket3 hfs19.5.640] $ houdini

Custom entries in houdini.env:

HOUDINI_USE_HFS_OCL = 0
HOUDINI_OCL_DEVICETYPE = "CPU"

OCIO = "/home/michael/packages_repo/OpenColorIO-Config-ACES-1.2/aces_1.2/config.ocio"

That crash looks like it's related to OpenCL, not malloc. Which CPU and OS are you using? Can you try the following and see if it also crashes? Try with and without the LD_PRELOAD.

hgpuinfo -c

Also, perhaps try removing the quotes around CPU when specifying HOUDINI_OCL_DEVICETYPE.

This has no impact it seems. Houdini only runs with LD_PRELOAD. However, I had OpenCL issues about a year ago. I'll investigate a bit further in that direction.

Could you also post the output from the clinfo utility? You should be able to find it in your package manager.

Seems like the device is not supported for some reason:

$ hgpuinfo -q
free(): invalid pointer
Aborted (core dumped)
$ export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libc_malloc_debug.so.0"
$ hgpuinfo -q
$

FWIW, I gave it a try installing a Manjaro Virtualbox VM but all the crashes were related to lack of OpenCL and didn't get the "free(): invalid pointer" message. I got it to bring up Houdini fine by installing pocl (software opencl) and telling Houdini to use that with:
export HOUDINI_USE_HFS_OCL=0
export HOUDINI_OCL_DEVICETYPE=CPU
export HOUDINI_OCL_FEATURE_DISABLE=CL_DEVICE_DEVICE_ENQUEUE_SUPPORT
So I don't know <shrugs>.

Strange, I’m having opencl problems myself. If I explicitly set it to gpu in the houdini.env it works. Did you try that?

Thanks @Fx_enjoyer and @edward for your suggestions. Nothing worked so far (except
export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libc_malloc_debug.so.0"
).

I tried the following driver packages:
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-opencl-runtime [aur.archlinux.org]
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-cpu-runtime [aur.archlinux.org]
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-opencl [aur.archlinux.org]
- intel-compute-runtime
- pocl

export HOUDINI_USE_HFS_OCL=0
export HOUDINI_OCL_DEVICETYPE=CPU
export HOUDINI_OCL_FEATURE_DISABLE=CL_DEVICE_DEVICE_ENQUEUE_SUPPORT
...did not make any difference compared to the env I have.

Hello Everyone,
This thread is really helpful to know that I had to install some of the dependency, which helped in my case with Ubuntu 24.04 and Houdini 20.0.547.

The Steps which helped me resolve the issues
sudo apt-get install libxkbcommon-x11, libxcb-icccm4, and libxcb-render-util
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev

I also tried to run
export LD_PRELOAD="/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_malloc_debug.so.0" houdini

I used this process to export jemalloc.
cd $HFS/dsolib
cp libjemalloc.so.1 empty_jemalloc/libjemalloc.so.1.orig
cp empty_jemalloc/libjemalloc.so.1 .

But I think, this doesn't make any difference, it gives this warning, and I disabled it from the ENV file.
WARNING: JE Malloc not configured.
         Excessive memory fragmentation and poor performance may result.
         If this is intentional, set
             HOUDINI_DISABLE_JEMALLOCTEST=1
         to remove this warning.

One more thing, I would like to add is, If you are using NVIDIA GPU then it might require to utilize NVIDIA's prime-render offload which opens your utility through discrete graphics card.

I usually put this commands into Houdini.env to utilize NVIDIA as my primary openGL and openCL Drivers(If it's CUDA Supported, you can check through hgpuinfo -c).

Houdini.env
#Disable Jemalloctest to avoid any excessive memory fragmentations
HOUDINI_DISABLE_JEMALLOCTEST=1

#NVIDIA Prime render offload properties
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia

Hope this will be helpful to someone who's facing crashes on Ubuntu 24.04 with Houdini 20.0.547 & 20.0.+

Cheers.
