Run Cura 15.04 and 15.06 on the same machine

[danilius 118]

I have an Ubuntu 15.04 machine and currently run Cura 15.04. I would love to give 15.06 a go and provide some useful feedback, but definitely need 15.04 for production.

Is there any way of having both installed on Ubuntu?

I answered this some weeks ago, have a look at this thread:

Thanks! Worked perfectly. Of course 15.06 crashed without even a whimper. Oh well, I suppose there is a bit a wait still.

Even a known problem ;-)

The solution is here:

btw: if a program crashes silently it's always a good idea to start it in a terminal ...

I did, and this is what I got.

Oh, and I have python3-opengl installed already.

Well, having registered this bug and gotten no response, it was time to go hunting. I finally tried putting this: "from OpenGL import GL" at the start of the cura_app.py so it looks like this:

 

#!/usr/bin/env python3# Copyright © 2015 Ultimaker B.V.# Cura is released under the terms of the AGPLv3 or higher.import sysfrom OpenGL import GL

 

and hey presto, it works!
