Can more Ubuntu-clued people correct me here if I'm wrong:
Applications should not be using /usr/tmp
That temporary directory was deprecated a decade ago.
That said, I ran maya in my VM cluster machine.
Even though it said it was a fatal error that it could not create /
usr/tmp,
the imaging software came up. I see no GL_RENDER complaints.
Is this still a problem?
