Installing Mitsuba 0.5.0 in linux 20.04

[ZFaniso]

Hi
I'm having a situation, i'm trying to run my mitsuba 2 using the plugins that i have used in mitsuba 0.5.0 with python 2 previously, but i have found out that my plugins are not supported by mitsuba2. So i just want to find out is there any one who is running mitsuba 0.5.0 in linux 20.4.I want to try and install mitsuba 0.5.0 in linux 20.4 but i would like to know if this is possible.

Hi @ZFaniso,

Have you tried following the build instructions for Mitsuba 0.6? Apart from the GUI that relies on Qt, it should build on Ubuntu 20.04.

Hi @merlinND
I have installed mitsuba 0.6.0 it seems to work well , now i'm running my example i encounter a scheduler issue where it shows the sche.cpp524 as an error.
Do you have any idea of the cause?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with the scheduler in Mitsuba 0.6, but you could try stopping the scheduler before adding the workers and starting the actual work?

scheduler = Scheduler.getInstance()
scheduler.stop()

The better solution would be to understand what started the Scheduler in the first place, and prevent that from happening until your have added your workers.
