I’m installing maya in a fedora distrobox.
When I’m trying to login into autodesk to validate my license, the program can’t access internet.
I already gave permissions on flatseal. Turned the firewall off too.
After clicking on “try again”. I get this that window apparently works but it just crash after attempting to login.
I’m using a fedora toolbox docker with a init system and “NetworkMode” is set as host.
Any suggestions? is there something that blocks internet from a distrobox?
You need to start the autodesk verification service manually. I dont exactly remember the name of the daemon but it doesnt get started by Maya automatically. Try following their help page
I’ve registered manually but I still need to sign in on my autodesk account from that window to validate my account.
It’s an student account. I don’t have serial or network license.
I’m wondering, since you’ve seem to gone further than I have, how did you install Maya inside of a distrobox? I’ve been messing around with things for a bit, and for some reason, it’s just not doing anything when I launch it.
This is how I’m installing it:
distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:41 --init --additional-packages "systemd" -n Autodesk_Tools
distrobox enter Autodesk_Tools

EDIT: Okay, so after logging into Plasma on X11 rather than Wayland, I managed to get to the activation screen after waiting a bit, but when I tried logging in, it closed Maya, and spat out a log saying that it wasn’t authorized. Is there any specific web dependencies that have to be installed to get to the login screen?
This is what that looks like (MayaCLM-14-02-2025.log):

I want to add to this, since I’ve also been trying to get Maya working. The licensing service does run, and it does have Maya registered, but it still returns an error, just like what’s already shown here. However, if you install Maya 2024 or older, it will actually work just fine. I don’t know what changed here, I thought it was because Maya wasn’t compatible with Wayland sessions, but newer versions are still broken on an X11 session. If someone here has figured out a solution or a workaround to getting Maya 2025 and above running on a container, I’d love to hear it.
