I got a little bit annoyed about the situation for us Ubuntu users who stick (for which reason however) on the LTS Version. So I played a little bit around and managed to get the new Cura installed. Disclaimer:!!!although all the following worked on my machine with now noticable damage so faryou try it on your own risk!It's possible that you damage your paket-management and/or your system!!!! Add temporary this source to your package-sources: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu vivid main universe Install the cura-package - with the above source it can satisfy the depenencies Remove (or diasble) the above package-source direct after the cura installation, otherwise your package-management will try to do a unnecessary (partial) dist-upgrade. Voila ... the newest cura is running under the "so old" Ubuntu LTS Version. But wait ... here comes the next glitch: Starting - ok Loading a stl - almost (more about later *) ok Layerview - nope Looking at the "Engine-Log" shows the reason: The CuraEngine needs the "libprotobuf.so.10" - puuuh Even in the newest Ubuntu is the highest you can get "libprotobuf.so.9" After some more hours of research I found a hint that this libproto-stuff was bundled with the 15.06.01 version but is no longer in the 15.06.02! So unpacked the 15.06.01 local and copied the needed files to the correct places: all the files starting with lib* you find in /usr/lib the folder /google you find in /usr/include (don't know if this is realy necessary?) Done ... * loading .stl files: at the moment with "all supported types" and "stl files" only .stl files where recognized but no .STL files :( you have to switch to "All Files" to although see this files. Hope this helps somone, but don't blame me if you damage something (see the disclaimer above) P.S.: for the Linux-Mint 17... users - not tested, but there is a good chance that it worked for you too

Thats not weird that is really bad and a shame! These dependencies (>=5.4.0) are satisfied in the actual Ubuntu-Version "Vivid - 15.04" but not in the "Trusty - 14.04 LTS". Fine for the devs to work with actual OS versions. But not so fine for the many users (me included) who want or must stay on the LTS (Long Time Support) Versions to have a stable system ...

If I try to "Load profile from gcode" I get with newer files (made with 15.02.1): No profile found in GCode file.This feature only works with GCode files made by Cura 12.07 or newer. Trying a older file made with (I think) a 13.xx version works. Comparing the files I miss the "CURA_PROFILE_STRING" section at the end of the gcode in the files made with 15.02.1

Whats about "Fan full on at height" -> 0 in the expert settings ?!?

Maybe this will be helpfull: On my Linux-system (Ubuntu 12.04) I have to set a full name - with the .stl extension!!! otherwise nothing is saved. Maybe on other OS'es there is a similar problem. My english ist not the best, so here an example: Giving a name "test_thing" -> does'nt save anything Giving a name "test_thing.stl" -> saves as expected Regards Bernd
