Unable to -optin OCIO Package on Linux –> Installed but Not Loading by Default

[sivaramsai]

Hi Team,
I’m trying to configure the OpenColorIO Basic Color Management package to load by default when launching OpenRV.
Windows – Working as Expected
On Windows, the following steps work correctly:
List packages:
C:\OpenRV_2.1.0\bin\rvpkg -list

Install package:
rvpkg -install "OpenColorIO Basic Color Management"

Enable (opt-in) package:
rvpkg -optin "OpenColorIO Basic Color Management"

After this, the package loads correctly on RV launch.

Linux – Install Works, -optin Does Not
On Linux, I used the equivalent commands:
List packages:
/usr/OpenRVRelease/latest/app/bin/rvpkg -list

Install package:
/usr/OpenRVRelease/latest/app/bin/rvpkg -install /usr/OpenRVRelease/latest/app/plugins/Packages/ocio_source_setup-2.5.rvpkg
Installation completes successfully.

Attempt to enable (opt-in):
/usr/OpenRVRelease/latest/app/bin/rvpkg -optin /usr/OpenRVRelease/latest/app/plugins/Packages/ocio_source_setup-2.5.rvpkg

However, the -optin step does not enable the package. It remains installed but not loaded by default when launching RV.

Question: -

• Is the -optin command expected to behave differently on Linux?
• Should -optin reference the package name instead of the file path?
• Is there an additional step required on Linux to make a package load by default before RV launch?
• Is this related to user-level vs system-level configuration paths?

My goal is to ensure the OCIO package is automatically enabled before launching RV (without manual intervention).
Any guidance on the correct workflow for Linux would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
