Render Manager not working on Linux

I have just noticed this weird bug on both Fusion 8 and Fusion 9 on Linux Mint 18.2. Whenever I try using the Render Manager, by checking 'Batch Render' in the render dialog, the job doesn't get submitted at all to the manager.

If I open the Render Manager, and add the comp manually, it appears in the Queue, but it doesn't get rendered. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to submit my comps for batch rendering on Linux?

I figured out the problem.. Starting Fusion normally, means that Fusion Server doesn't have the root privileges that it needs for the batch rendering to be enabled. Currently, the workaround for me is to start Fusion using

Code: Select all

sudo /opt/BlackmagicDesign/Fusion9/Fusion
