Posted · Cura 4.1 - Stuck at welcome screen. Buttons are missing.

Hi. First post here, so why not make it a "bug report"? 😃

 

I'm a linux user, (More precise Arch Linux), and also active in the linux community.

Just got started with 3D-printing with a Ultimaker 2+

 

Everything is going fine so far with the windows version. So I thought I'd give the linux version a shot.
Said and done, I decided to pull it from the github and compile it (according to Arch Linux standards that is)

Version 4.1 got compiled in and starts up, and once it has started it presents me a "Welcome screen". At first I had no idea what to do with it, as it was impossible to interact with it. No buttons. No inputs or anything on the welcome splash. I remember from the windows version that there's supposed to be buttons at the bottom of the welcome screen, so one can proceed. These buttons are missing completely with the linux version, making it impossible to interact with the welcome screen. See screenshot.

 

I also attached a console log.

 

If you need anything else, I'd happily provide it. Thanks for a great work so far.

    Are you using the AppImage version? If not, please try that.

     

    There are some issues between Cura and newer versions of Qt. By using the AppImage, you will use a Qt version that is tested with Cura.

    I don't think he's using the appimage. We've been getting a lot of bug reports from arch linux users (yay for posting them though, you guys do make really good bug reports), but in all cases they didn't use the appimage.

    I'm on it. Will try out the app image right away.

    Personally I prefer running applications as native as possible.

     

    I'm glad to hear it's a known problem with the later QT versions. I remember reading that somewhere out there.

     

    I wonder, are there other container/package formats officially supported? Snap? Flatpak? etc...

    Understood. Will use the appimage from here on.


    Why you're receiving lots of bug reports from Arch users and those who use similar distributions based on Arch is likely due to the nature of how packages are managed in these distributions. Many tend to favor pulling down source code and build  it for their own local repositories. (AUR. Arch User Repository). Arch makes this process tremendously easy with powerful tools, even for intermediate users.

    Yeah, I know how they work. But this doesn't guarantee that the exact same dependencies are used as we tested (which is why we can't really provide support for it). It's already tricky enough to provide support for what we have right now.

    Hello @SysGhost, I have been working on this issue and think I have a solution. If you are using Cura from source could you please try using the mb-master branch in git@github.com:smartavionics/Uranium.git and see if it fixes the problem. Thanks.

     

    Alternative URL for repo is https://github.com/smartavionics/Uranium.git

    Back again.
    With Uranium from the git mentioned above installed, and cura rebuilt with it, it still makes no difference.
    I've attached a log if needed.

     

    ...and Yes. I did use the mb-master.

     

    Here's the pkgbuild file I made for it: http://ix.io/1PAb

    The fix is now merged into Ultimaker/master so you don't have to use my repo.

     

    Looking at your log, you have other problems:

    I saw that, but both USB printing and AMF reader shouldn't affect the welcome screen or any UI related elements. Right?

    Anyhow I will try the master tree as well.

     

    Thanks for the support and work so far. (^.^)b

    Those should not have an effect on the welcome screen.

    I report the same problem, using Kubuntu. Linked repository failed with: 

    jenik@jenik-HP-ProBook-6470b:~/sw/Uranium-master$ python run_mypy.py

    AppImage works perfectly it appears.
