"Save to disk" does not work

[PRINT3-D 0]

On Cura version 5.2.2, after slicing my build, my computer shows the "save to disk option". when I press it nothing happens. I am using a chromebook with linux. would that affect anything?

Yes, that would impact everything.

UltiMaker Cura is not officially supported on ChromeOS..

It appears people that force load generic Linux operating systems on these Chromebooks still have mixed issues.
I'm guessing its possibly related to being hardware unsupported by Cura

Or its something missing in the Linux operating system that Cura is expecting to be there..

If I kept using Cura how could I fix it?

You came to UltiMaker's community to ask for a recommendation for a competing product?

I don't know what 3D Printer you are using, but I would recommend to reach out to the community of that printer.

Im not sure what your asking, It is not recommended to use Cura on a Chromebook.

This appears to slice and save just fine for me on Windows10.

I had the same problem, but I finally got it working.  It needs to have removeable media mounted under /media

such as at /media/sdg1   where the device is /dev/sdg1

Then after clicking I get the button to say "save to removeable media"

How do I do that?

I should have prefaced, on a Linux system, I was able to get it to work.

 

I can only tell the steps that worked for me:

my media was mounted at /mnt/sdg1.

replace sdg1 below with your media's "name"

 

issue: following commands from a terminal.  you may need to be root depending on system, or

possibly use sudo before each command.

 

#if /media/sdg1 does not exist issue this:

mkdir /media/sdg1

 

#then issue the following commands

umount /mnt/sdg1

mount /dev/sdg1 /media/sdg1

 

then after clicking on slice, when it finishes slicking,  the button should say "save to removeable media"

unless you have selected usb, then use the dropdown to the right of the button to choose "save to removeable media"

Okay I will try that. I will tell you if it works. Thanks!

Another detail that may be helpful for Windows or Mac:

The button did not work until I had plugged in a memory stick.

Maybe that is all you need for Windows...
