simmosam 0 Posted December 2, 2012 in Run Cura on linux I' ve run into the limits of memory usage with Cura and windows. there's also a thread about slicing complex models on windows, cura displays a message about a memory problem. I have a PC with 64 bit windows and 24GB of memory, so memeory enough. Still I can't slice big STL file. KISSlicer does slice my model but I can't get it to work with my ultimaker, whatever I do it keeps under extruding. In the previous thread is written that Linux is much better with memry than windows. I wis to give it a try. I already installed Linux ubuntu but I don't know how to run Cura on it. Can someone explain what i need to do to get Cura to run on Linux. I tried Linux ubuntu 10 I download the source files from DAID + package.sh in a terminal window i wrote: sh ./package.sh but then I get a list of error messages: elif not expected, function: problem with checkTool. I've read a buch of articles about compiling from source code to a working linux executable but I still don't understand it fully, can someone help me? kind regards, Sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daid 262 Posted December 2, 2012 in Run Cura on linux The package.sh script is to build a release. What you want to download is not the latest sources, but the latest release from http://daid.github.com/Cura/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simmosam 0 Posted December 2, 2012 in Run Cura on linux Hi Daid, what do I have to do when I downloaded the latest release? gr Sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beeone 0 Posted December 3, 2012 in Run Cura on linux I'll borrow this thread a bit as I'm also having problems running Cura in linux. After installing the missing python stuff I can get Cura to run and open the model with it just fine. But when I hit "Prepare print" I immediately get the something went wrong during slicing error message, the log doesn't show anything either so I'm not sure what to try here. I installed/downloaded pypy 1.9 from the official website but that made no difference. I'm running cura 12.10 in Opensuse. I'd use windows for this but unfortunately I have a pretty large model that hits the 2gb limit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daid 262 Posted December 3, 2012 in Run Cura on linux Beeone, did you install pypy 64bit? Usually this error happens on Linux when you have a 32bit pypy on a 64bit only system. As for "what to do", the short list to get Cura working on Ubuntu is: - Download the latest release - Install the packages: python-numpy, python-pyopengl, python-serial, python-wxpython (these package names could differ) - Run the cura.sh script to start Cura. Linux installation support for Cura isn't the best right now, as it's a low priority target with lots of differences between systems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beeone 0 Posted December 3, 2012 in Run Cura on linux I had the 64bit version installed yes. I was able to get it working now though, the problem was that I had renamed the extracted pypy dir to match the original dir in the cura folder. For some reason that was not good but now it works.

isphording90 0 Posted April 9, 2013 in Run Cura on linux I had a similar problem: I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 64bit and downloaded the .deb from the ultimaker download section and installed all the dependencies. When i opened Cura and pressed the prepare button, the word "starting" came in the bottom left corner but nothing happend. I tried many things to get it to work. The I removed cura and went here: https://github.com/daid/Cura and build and installed the Cura development version with these commands: git clone https://github.com/daid/Cura.git sudo apt-get install python-opengl sudo apt-get install python-numpy sudo apt-get install python-serial sudo apt-get install python-setuptools cd Cura sudo ./package.sh debian sudo dpkg -i ./scripts/linux/Cura*.deb Worked like a charm! I don't know what's wrong with the first .deb file but maybe this helps people who have the same problem. Thanks Daid for the very godd and easy to understand documentation on github!

isphording90 0 Posted May 10, 2013 in Run Cura on linux I had to make a completely new installation of linux because of some issues. Now when I do everything like bevore to run cura, it hangs at the splash screen and cura won't open. When I start cura through the terminal I get this output: lukas@workstation:~$ cura Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 14665, in <lambda> lambda event: event.callable(*event.args, **event.kw) ) File "/usr/share/cura/Cura/gui/splashScreen.py", line 16, in DoCallback self.callback() File "/usr/share/cura/Cura/gui/app.py", line 39, in afterSplashCallback from Cura.gui import mainWindow File "/usr/share/cura/Cura/gui/mainWindow.py", line 9, in <module> from Cura.gui import preview3d File "/usr/share/cura/Cura/gui/preview3d.py", line 15, in <module> from OpenGL.GLU import * File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenGL/GLU/__init__.py", line 4, in <module> from OpenGL.raw.GLU import * File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenGL/raw/GLU/__init__.py", line 6, in <module> from OpenGL.raw.GLU.constants import * File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenGL/raw/GLU/constants.py", line 7, in <module> from OpenGL import platform, arrays File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenGL/arrays/__init__.py", line 22, in <module> formathandler.FormatHandler.loadAll() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenGL/arrays/formathandler.py", line 37, in loadAll cls.loadPlugin( entrypoint ) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/OpenGL/arrays/formathandler.py", line 57, in loadPlugin handler = plugin_class() File "numpy_formathandler.pyx", line 30, in OpenGL_accelerate.numpy_formathandler.NumpyHandler.__init__ (src/numpy_formathandler.c:1195) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_configflags' What have I done wrong this time?

Daid 262 Posted May 10, 2013 in Run Cura on linux It's something that the Ubuntu maintainers broke in the numpy or PyOpenGL packages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isphording90 0 Posted May 10, 2013 in Run Cura on linux Ah OK. I went here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pyopengl and downloaded the .deb of version 3.0.0-0ubuntu1 for the Lucid Lynx https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/python-opengl_3.0.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb Now everything works again! Maybe this is helpful for users with the same problem. Thanks Daid for the info! =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leechengm 0 Posted June 19, 2013 in Run Cura on linux The package.sh script is to build a release. What you want to download is not the latest sources, but the latest release from http://daid.github.com/Cura/ Hi ,Daid: I install Cura on Debian 7.0.0 (GNU/Linux) ,I can't run it as ordinary user, but it can run as root ,but it can't load model file.
