So I was very excited... downloaded Houdini 19 Linux verison (I have 18.5 apprentice installed).
Ran the houdini.install. Got message at the end of installation that houdini has completed successfully.
Great... Click the Houdini Apprentice icon - Nothing Happens... no splash screen... no error... just nothing... as if I never clicked it. So much for the joy lol.
Houdini 19 doesn't load AT ALL on Ubuntu 21.10

Pop open a shell, go into the directory where houdini installed to, and source the environment, like so
Then, for this shell, the environment is sourced. Go into your project directory and you can start houdini (don't do this in the install directory, navigate to your project directory first).
or
In the same shell you should then see the error outputs, when it bombs.
cd /opt/hfs19.0.383 source houdini_setup_bash
Then, for this shell, the environment is sourced. Go into your project directory and you can start houdini (don't do this in the install directory, navigate to your project directory first).

When I type houdini & I get
"munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer
Aborted (core dumped) houdini"
I have also notice that my /home/luke/houdini19.0 directory only has 'houdini.env' file in it. houdini18.5 directory has many many more files.

The munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer seems to be caused by changes introduced in glibc 2.34 which Ubuntu 21.10 is using.
Some functionality has been removed and now is only available when preloading libc_malloc_debug.so.0 (source [sourceware.org])
so the hotfix is to do
before launching Houdini with hindie,hescape or happrentice command.

so the hotfix is to do
export LD_PRELOAD="/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_malloc_debug.so.0"

kubo-vonIt worked! You're a genius! I'll let SideFX support know. Hopefully they can fix it in next prod build.

In my case this fix is not working:
Ubuntu 21.10
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

Same issue for 18.5, but that hot fix doesn't work for me.
Are you getting the munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer error or some other ?
Because the LD_PRELOAD trick should take care of that one ,even for 18.5, I've just tested it.
Can, I ask. Are you on a fresh install of ubuntu 20.10? or did you upgrade from a previously installed version
EDIT: I got it to work, thanks for the help!!!
