Have cloned the https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore repository and other scenes do not work ? If you try:

Code: Select all

luxcoreui scenes/luxball/luxball.cfg
Does it work ?

Hi Dade,
the scenes on github work well. The scenes exported using my blender installation, don't work.

Now I will try to reinstall blender using a clean installation. I will try also on windows to see if there is the same issue.
On linux, only me have this issue?

Thanks for your support

There have been a couple of issues reported by Russian users (i.e. a radically different locale settings from western locales) and Linux but they ended to be related to some specific setting of their system, for instance, try to check this post and the solution described there: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=223&p=2854&hilit=locale#p2894

I have the feeling there is a problem with radically different locales like Russian and Japanese but we have not yet found the "smoking gun" proof (and solution).

As you have seen, LuxCore alone works fine, there may be some setting affecting LuxCore when running inside Blender.

thanks Dade,
I solved by un-selecting the international fonts in blender, remove luxcore addon, restart blender and install again luxcore addon.
Before, I used the international fonts options with language setting on english, but I have activated it to read materials and objects name writed in other language like japanese. Now, with international fonts option disabled, I cannot read object and material name wrote with character different from Latin. If you will solve this it's better, but I don't know if it is a luxcore or blender bug.

thanks

The source of the problem is how locale is handled by C/C++ in general: it is a global setting so a change in Blender will affect LuxCore too. The reverse it also true: so I can not change the setting inside LuxCore or it would affect and break Blender.

It is also a problem hard to investigate for me because I'm from western country without a non-latin locale (i.e. Russian, Japanese, Chinese, etc.). I'm afraid will leave it as a known bug until someone pop up with a solution.

Hello @ all,

i found a nasty workaround for this.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit and use Blender 2.79b 64bit and BlendLuxCore 2.2 and LuxCore 2.2.

After exporting the project as "text" (render.cfg) i do this:

1. start luxcoreui with

Code: Select all

/path/to/./luxcoreui
2. load the

Code: Select all

render.cfg
file and start rendering

3. pause the rendering and save the rendering as 1.rsm

4. rename 1.rsm to 1.gz

5. then i do a

Code: Select all

gzip -d 1.gz
6. now i open the extracted file:

Code: Select all

ghex 1
7. then i substitute the relevant "," with "." and save the file

8. then

Code: Select all

gzip 1 -S .rsm
9. and at last

Code: Select all

/path/to/./luxcoreui -o /tmp/Untitled_LuxCore/00001/1.rsm -w 1920 -e 1080
it works for me! :roll: :D

You are using a very old version of LuxCore (and Ubuntu). This type of problems should have been addressed in the latest version (but they may not work on your old Ubuntu).

I know this topic, my OS and (Blend)LuxCore versions are old. My Computer is old and because of glibc newer (Blend)LuxCore versions don't work anymore, and the Blender version has to be compatible. Just wanted to help someone who ran into the same problem, cause i read about people having the same problem with newer (Blend)LuxCore versions. And this program is nonsense without the possibility to resume rendering. I wonder why this thread isn't closed or marked as solved.

Btw how can i delete my account, if i want to? Found no option for that!

Greetings :mrgreen:
