Juanxer Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 It seems I've found a consistent way to crash Renderama or generally make it fail. We have an hexacore Mac Pro beast, and I've never ever managed to leave a batch of Renderama jobs overnight without seeing it having crashed just after leaving, no jobs done. It drives me nuts. It's driving me nuts right now. Okay. When we leave the office, we shut down power to everything but the CPUs, which means: - The ADSL modem/router gets loses power. - Ditto for my dual monitor setup. Now, here there is a fancy thing: it seems this generation of Mac Pro towers, upon detecting that a secondary screen has been shut down somehow improperly, it moves all windows in that screen to the main one (which isn't such a bad idea, but it isn't quite a good one, either. It ought to be a System Preferences -> Screens button thing. Oh, well…). This always happens when I cut power while the screen is switched on, while it doesn't seem to do so if I switch the monitor off turning it to sleep mode). So, questions: -Is the Renderama system (master and slave apps) aversely sensitive to, say, the local network and the Internet disappearing under the Mac Pro's feet, even if all slaves are inside the machine? -Is it aversely sensitive to having OS X move its windows from one monitor to another without user intervention?

Tomas Egger Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ola Juanxer! When we got EIAS to develop, Rama 8 was unstable, we did a lot of changes, but I dont remember to have problems when the Mac change to one Monitor, but Internet disappearing can be a problem if am I not wrong.

RichardJoly Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 During daytime, with the ADSL modem/router on, do you have Renderama problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanxer Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Not as severe as that one but the usual little things near the end of a render batch, such as failing to stitch or crashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Egger Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Ola Juanxer! Know issues already fixed on EIAS 9. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
