How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Hello, I have been using Sweet Home 3D on previous versions of Ubuntu and was pleased to find the program in the Ubuntu Software Center. Unfortunately i don't seem to get the program to work. It crashes directly after starting without any reports. I'm using a clean install of Ubuntu. My Java version: openjdk version "1.8.0_91" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-0ubuntu4~16.04.1-b14) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode) Any suggestions? My new house is to be completed in a few months so it would be great if i could make the final adjustments in the drawings. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Don't use the version in Ubuntu Software Center, because it depends on Java 8 which causes some problems in Sweet Home 3D as soon as you use some textures. Simply use the installer version available at Download page. If you want an icon for Sweet Home 3D + file association in your system, please read this thread. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Emmanuel, Thanks for the quick response. I've downloaded the installer, but it gives the same result. For a brief moment i see the program start before it immediately disappears. Again no error reports. What am i doing wrong? |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? I am using linux for the past 10 years mainly ubuntu or one of its derivatives. I had the same problem with Xubuntu 16.04. I am using the SweetHome3D 5.2.tgz downloaded from Sweethome 3D website and uncompress it in a local folder. after running the executable file named “SweetHome3D†in a terminal (double clicking doesn't execute it) the application crashes and I get this message Java 3D: implicit antialiasing enabled # # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f5e3a996b6d, pid=5813, tid=140042699675392 # # JRE version: 6.0_45-b06 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.45-b01 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops) # Problematic frame: # C [r600_dri.so+0x1f4b6d] __driDriverGetExtensions_virtio_gpu+0x1590bd # # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /media/lino/Shehata/Soft/Design and multimedia/SweetHome3D-5.2/hs_err_pid5813.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp # Aborted (core dumped) Initially I thought the problem could be a result of the open source radeon driver as ubuntu 16.04 doesn’t support the proprietary ATI driver (FGLRX), therefore I installed Xubuntu 14.04 and running the application was successful but when I tried to go to the preferences from the “File Menu†the application crashes again (I need to change the measure units from feets to meters). The same problem happened on openSuse leap 41 and Debian Jessie. Finally I installed Fedora 24 but again I was not able to change the preferences on the regular Gnome session but when I ran the SH3D in “Gnome on Wayland†session and the SH3D worked without troubles (I was able to change the preferences). I am not a programmer, just a linux user but I think there is problem with the Xorg display server on the new linux distributions. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? For Debian/Ubuntu, you can use the version from http://www.getdeb.net/ as well. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? gustlgans: which graphics card do you have? can you try using different drivers? It may be related to that. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Hi, I have also used this program with prior versions of Ubuntu. I was working fine on 14.04, and decided to upgrade to 16.04LTS. It works fine, and when I used the software installer provided by Ubuntu, it says it worked fine. However, when I try to use it, it opens for a moment, then closes, without an error that would get someone to fix. The replies I see here don't help much. Trust me, it is NOT my fault. I would like some real help and advice. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? I was so fed up with Ubuntu 16.04, that I deleted it. Now, I use Mint 18 Cinnamon, and all I have to do is unzip the SH3D file, and the program runs. ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Hi, I tried the "version from http://www.getdeb.net/ as well." method... Confusing, as usual the instructions are 'terse'... However, I did get SweetHome3d installed. After the install of 'getdeb', I did the sudo apt-get update, followed by sudo apt-get upgrade, and it noted it wanted to install SweetHome3D. Yippeee.. However... once it finished, I saw the icon for SH3D on the left, and clicked on it. The panel opened. I tried to push the open file icon so I can get my previous work, and it did not respond. After a few more seconds, the program shut down, no errors I could see. During the install I did get an error related to a problem I have reported to Launchpad... #1573790 package xine-ui 0.99.9-1.2 [modified: var/lib/xine/xine.desktop] failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139 xine-ui (Ubuntu) [[ It has been almost a month and still not fixed. Is this related to SH3D? |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Any advice on how to fix this... I wonder if it might just fix my issue(s) with SH3D? Setting up gxine (0.5.908-3.1ubuntu1) ... Segmentation fault (core dumped) dpkg: error processing package gxine (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139 Setting up xine-ui (0.99.9-1.2) ...

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? I am no expert, but I don't think that error has anything to do with SH3D. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? On Mint 17.3 it installs fine from the package repository and also the downloadable file unpacks and runs fine (though isn't installed properly). The GUI looks a tad poor though, mainly the fonts aren't slick on menus and the furniture menus on left have odd shading behind the words. Worse, if you maximize the window (which I do) then the menus go oddball. That is, you can click on the File menu for example but let go of the mouse button and the menu disappears. So I have to hold the mouse button down and then drag down the menu. When I do that the menu selection highlighting lags behind the mouse pointer, about 3 lines above it. Totally weird and not real usable. Turns out if I don't maximize the window but resize it manually as large as I can, I get same aberrant behaviour. What it reminds me of deeply is X screen scaling issues with multiple monitors. I wrote a config utility so I could use a tablet with Mint because of this very reminiscent reason. It's here out of interest: https://github.com/bernd-wechner/tablet-config and as it happens I have a monitor above the one I'm using (conceptually, in practice not, as it's not on - as it happens it's a projector, but positioned above this screen in the X screen space) and this sort of lag is what happens with a table pen when it's beside the screen - only in the left-right sense - because the pen coordinates are in X monitor space and mapped into X screen space ... aaargh. xrandr can fix that. But this appears to be a stock standard Java application and loads of those run just fine on Mint 17.3 and my machine so really it points to some coding glitch IMO. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? I guess you all have and AMD-chipset based graphic card. I had the exact same problem on 2 PC's running 16.04 and neither would run SH3D. However, I changed for an nVidia one, and it now works flawlessly. It must have to do with the dropped support for 3D drivers, and the fall-back to default X.org. Just my 2cents. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Well - I just changed to a Radeon card which according to the Ubuntu website is fully supported (and disabled AMD graphics in BIOS) . Doesn't help - application opens perfectly, everything looks good, then it closes down - happens fast, no error message , maybe as soon as the 3D render starts. May try Mint on this box. Works on Mint 17 on another with AMD chipset - seems strange. No graphics problems with any other app. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Me too! I cannot get SH3D to run using the installer. I'm running Mint 17.3. (I also had the problem on 17.2, before upgrading.) When I run the installer, the splash (3 in x 3 in graphic) for SH3D appears on the screen, then ... nothing. The splash just stays there (and gets in the way) - until I reboot or I open "system monitor" and kill the "java..." process that was started (and continues) from executing the installer. I can run (and use!) webstart version! But I'd really like to use some of the new (and older) add-ons that will only run on the local version. So I've been fiddling, but unsuccessfully. I have some other ideas, but I don't know enough to continue (really - I know very little, but that doesn't stop me). I'd love some help. Here is some background: Mint 17.3, nVidia graphics, installed default Java version: "1.7.0_80" (Oracle), (also have version "1.8.0_101" installed - webstart works with either java version, version "1.9.xx" is also now available, but I don't think this will make a difference under my current circumstances - see below). As i understand, the installer is setup to use it's own portable JRE (version 6). I also understand that the installer uses a sweethome3d.jar that is not "a full Jar executable" (see http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,6817) A full Jar executable file can (I understand) be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sweethome3d/f...etHome3D-5.2.jar/download (again, see thread: http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,6817) If I wanted to try "installation" of SH3D using the full jar and my system java version - how do I go about it? (Or would I actually be "running" SHD3 this way? - I have only a vague understanding of what's really happening with the .jar file) The "full .jar" solution seems to have worked in thread http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,6817 It seems that some (simple?) modification of the installer file would do the trick - but this is way above my pay grade (at this time - I'm bucking for a promotion to a higher pay grade!) I'm pretty green with Linux, complete green with java, but I pretend to have a clue. Thanks for your help! Great program! |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Maybe Mint 17.3 has some problems similar to Ubuntu 16.04 (it's more and more difficult to follow Linux variants  ), and I hope the fix I tried on my side will work for you too. Be patient, a beta version should be available soon.---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? After using Ubuntu for years, I was finally fed up with the hassle needed to run SH3D. I switched to Mint 18 recently, and SH3D ran without problem. Still, a solution for Ubuntu would be appreciated.

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? I have upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10, nite works fine with same video card. I reinstalled from Ubuntu software centre, then upgraded to latest version. Trying to install from Sweet home release directly gave a lot of grief. I am an experienced user and maybe it's because of other tweaks, but whichever system Sweet home has been in it really doesn't play very nicely in Debian systems; it needs a good hacker to spend time with it and get it in a good repository, and latest version. It's a great program but an effort to get working and up to date. Anyway I now have it running in Mint 17, Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu 14.04. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? geetee, thanks for your efforts, but before speaking about distribution in Ubuntu repository, it would be nice that Sweet Home 3D simply works. Please, can you confirm that the Beta 7 works under the various Linux systems at your disposal? ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Thank you Puybaret! The Beta 7 appears to be working on a machine with Linux Mint 18 64k Cinnamon, AMD Proc, ATI Radeon grafix card. Did a quick and dirty... downloaded the beta version extracted to the desktop and launched the executable. Performed a simple validation where I opened an older .sh3d file, edit, save, and reopen with no issues. Never had a problem with sh3d until installing Mint 18 on this machine. Attempted sh3d installs with several different versions, always getting the same results others in here are experiencing. Tried different video drivers and, versions of java with no success... The struggle was real. Thanks again. |

Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Hello all, i could confirm that the long term issue with AMD graphic card seems to be fixed :-) (tested with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Radeon HD 4850) The error reported here http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,2236 # # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x6db6db41, pid=2728, tid=1838828352 # # JRE version: 6.0_45-b06 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (20.45-b01 mixed mode linux-x86 ) # Problematic frame: # C [libGL.so.1+0x40b41] __float128+0x3091 has disappered. Thank you Emmanuel for trying so hard to fix it. |
