Cura Issues on Linux - Cant find plugins or printer is not working with 5.10

[W0nderW0lf 0]

Hello everyone,

I am a 3D Print beginner but I want to use Cura for slicing and preparing my prints...

 

I use my Debian Notebook but I encountered several problems.

When I install Cura via apt respository, I receive v4.13.

I also tried the 5.10 Appimage version.

 

When I use 4.13 I cannot find or manage plugins:

When I use the 5.10 Appimage, I cannot start without extra parameters I found online. " Missing OpenGL2.0.."

 

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 ./Ultimaker-Cura-5.1.0-linux.AppImage

 

This way Cura opens, but when I slice and copy to my SD Card, my printer behaves very strange. Start code is being ignored and the printer suddenly tries to print mid air extruding the first line...

I've checked the exported GCode files with ones generated in 4.13 and 5.10 but I dont see a big difference..

However... both versions dont work as they should.

I already have additional python modules installed that should help with the 4.13 plugin problem. Unfortunately it doesn't work...
