Hi I updated my Nvidia driver to version 8178. Sometime Maya crashes while starting a rendering or I switch to a shaded panel. I get this error message.
maya encountered a fatal error
Signal: 6 (Unknown Signal) Attempting to save in /usr/tmp/*
The same problems I had with earlier Nvidia versions. Im not shure but I get the Signal: 11 too as error, anyone a solution?
In order to have any kind of idea as to why Maya is crashing on startup, you need to know where it is crashing. Starting Maya under gdb debugger, and getting a stack trace is the easiest method
maya -d gdb r
when it crashes enter gdb command bt Should then output the stack trace with function name as to where the crash occurred.
thx for the debug hint helps me alot, also i more happy now with my maya on fc because i found out that the fc4 didnt mount my swap partition! so i updated my /etc/fstab with "/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0" and et voila no memory crashes anymore!
