Ubuntu Crash

[colton3]

Tried installing Simplify on a laptop with ubuntu 14.04 32 bit.

The first time I installed it, it worked fine. After installing the drivers for connecting my Makerbot Rep2X via USB, The program won't open. When I run the desktop shortcut the configuration assistant pops up for a few seconds (with the window contents never rendering) and then it exits.

I'm brand new to ubuntu (windows guy)

Am I missing something basic?

This may be due to graphics drivers. Can you check that the graphic drivers you have are the most up-to-date for your card.

How did you install drivers on ubuntu for your printer? I was under the impression you did not need drivers for Ubuntu/Linux to communicate with most serial devices.

Try opening up the Terminal and enter the command:

Code: Select all

cd /opt/Simplify3D-2.2.0

hit enter, and it should bring you to the correct directory then type:

Code: Select all

sudo ./LaunchScript.sh

This *should* launch s3d if everything is installed properly. You will have to enter your password for sudo commands.

@ KW, didn't come to mind that it could be a graphics issue, I'll check on that. However, I was able to open Simplify before and view a model.

@TenK, I tried to install makerware but was unsuccessful... I tried running the launch script directly before, makes no difference. Going to try and install makerware again.
