Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
maybe you want to know what video card I have installed?

franco@franco-500-511nl:~$ lspci | grep -E 'VGA|Display|3D'
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland [Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240/340 OEM]

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
Golia, you should install Java 8 to run the Editors.
About Sweet Home 3D, what do you mean by "nothing"? Could you run SweetHome3D or SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2 in a Terminal and report what it displays?

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
Sorry, my fault! Graphic card or video card is right what i asked for. You see, english is also a foreign language for me.
Ok, it's what i expected, an AMD product (in my mashine there is a AMD RX580) and that's the problem. The radeon-drivers for linux are not yet finished so we have to use a very basic version for our video cards.
You can fix some problems in the sweethome3d start script (/usr/share/sweethome3d/sweethome3d.sh). you have to open it with root-rights and modifie the JAVA_ARGS section. I think you can copy and paste mine:

JAVA_ARGS="
-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni \
-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.applicationFolders=$HOME/.eteks/sweethome3d:/usr/share/sweethome3d \
-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.checkOffScreenSupport=true \
-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true \
-Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=1.25
-Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
-Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Dialog-11
-Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=SansSerif-11
-Dswing.plaf.metal.systemFont=SansSerif-11"

About the Java-version: i'm running version 10 but that means, i have no access to any furniture library. I have to import every single furniture which i want to use.
Ok, that's what i can do for you at the moment. For further improvements we have to wait for the new Radeon-drivers (a pre-release is already available) and for java10 support of sweethome3d.

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
@Emmanuel - Sweethome3D downloaded from here will not start on a system running Ubuntu 18.04 AND a recent AMD video card because of the unfinished radeon-drivers.

Emmanuel
From SW3d terminal it works correctly, I had not tried from terminal.
I try to install java 8 for editors and I'll let you know, thanks

I think it's a video card problem

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
FreeCad does not work either
I'd better get back to LinuxMint

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
@ Golia - You can run FreeCAD in Ubuntu 18.04. Go to /home/.local/share/applications and open your FreeCAD starter with an Editor. Replace the Exec-entry with this one:

Exec=sh -c "LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=true freecad" --single-instance %U

@Emmanuel - I don't know how long ago i opened SW3D in the terminal, but there semes to be some changes since then. I can now run SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2 in the terminal and SW3D is starting. WAHOOO it's awesome to get the libraries back!!!

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
Hello
I installed SH3D and Java 8 on linux Mint 19 (ubuntu 18.04) and at the moment everything is fine.
As for the editors (Forniture Library Editor and Texutures Library Editor) do not start but do not open any files.
I also found a terminal ... nothing

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
Sorry, I did not realize that the java version was 10 instead of the 8 default.
For those who served I did so:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

but it does not work all right ...
TexturesLibraryEditor everything is ok
FurnitureLibraryEditor opens the file correctly, when I go to edit an element it closes.
under the result from the terminal
