Posted · 13.06.5 debian hangs on startup

Hi

I have just installed Cura from the package on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I get the blue splash screen and then nothing happens, the splash screen just stays on the desktop.

Any ideas how I can get it to run?

Regards

Ian

    Hi Ian

    You can open a gnome-terminal then just type the following

    /usr/bin/cura

    If ever it is another path, type which cura should tell you.

    As a naive guess, try to upgrade with apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade.

    Sometime ago I ran into trouble due to the python or pypy version (see mine below).

    But it currently runs fine on my Ubuntu 12.04. Only the splash screen seems empty -- when it stays long enough so I can see it. Really not an issue for me, don't make it slower! ;)

    BTW a few more useful console commands to provide more information.

    Daid, I saw no "--verbose" nor "--help" option to Cura, they could prove useful maybe.

    I also don't know if python/pypy is still in use (I guess so for the GUI).

    lsb_release -a

    LSB Version: core-2.0-ia32:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-ia32:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch

    Distributor ID: Ubuntu

    Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS

    pypy --version

    Python 2.7.2 (1.8+dfsg-2, Feb 19 2012, 19:16:05)

    python --version

    Python 2.7.3

     

    cura && lsof | grep cura | awk '{print $9}' | grep -v /dev/

    /volatile

    /

    /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc-2.15.so

    /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.15.so

    /usr/bin/cura

     

    cheers,

    Many thanks Jeremie

    I can now see an error. The update/upgrade did not solve the problem, error remains the same.

    ian@ian-desktop:/usr/bin$ cura

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 14614, in <lambda>

    from OpenGL.GL import shaders

    ImportError: cannot import name shaders

     

    One for Daid I guess.

    I don't want to upgrade Ubuntu as I have linuxCNC on the same computer and they don't support 12.04 yet.

    Regards

    Ian

    mttr, your version of wxPython is too old for Cura (no idea which minimal version is needed)

    Hi Daid

    Do you know how to solve my problem. Error report posted above on 6th July.

    Regards

    Ian

    Oh, yes, sorry, that "missing shaders" error is from the Python-OpenGL package, most likely the version on your machine is too old for Cura.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
