13.06.5 debian hangs on startup

[ianeagland 0]

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

Try running it in a terminal window. I've only tested it on Ubuntu 12.10

Would you give me a command line format example please.

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).

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

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.

Tried to install this on Mint 13 (12.04) however i get a Blue startup window and then hangs with this error

Also the file is listed as 13.06.3-1 when installing

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

 

[Daid 283]

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.
