Simplify3d Linux won't start.

[[email protected]]

I've recently installed Simplify3d on my Linux laptop.
When I try to run it it simply dies:

Code: Select all

akegata@alucard:~$ /opt/Simplify3D-3.1.0/Simplify3D 

[1]+  Stopped                 /opt/Simplify3D-3.1.0/Simplify3D

Nothing else is shown, nothing seems to be logged, so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this.

Running Ubuntu 15.10.

To start the program on Linux, use the following commands

cd /opt/Simplify3D-3.1.0
sudo ./LaunchScript.sh

[edefault]

That works, but is a bit of a PITA - a correct *.deb install file would be a much nicer solution, since then there would be an icon in the starter, updates comfortably handled through the Ubuntu software install tools, synaptic or the likes etc. pp.

And, btw., better not invoke simplify3d through usage of "sudo" - that provides no proper rights for writing files to disk.
