Textures not displayed in Linux version (black and white triangles instead)

[nkasic]

I have installed the latest version of SH3D (4.1) on Windows 7 and on memory stick an on laptop with Lubuntu 10.4, and I created my first drawing, placed a few pieces of furniture, applied a few textures to the floor and walls etc., just to give it a go.
I noticed that the test drawing I created looks fine on any Windows machine I tried.
However, on my laptop, under linux, all the textures in 3D view are replaced with tiles made of rectangles split diagonally into black and white triangles.
Unfortunatelly, as I am absolute beginner in Linux, and just installed it for testing, I don't even know how to make a screenshot, so I cannot post an image.
I must point that the laptop is fairly old one (hence I installed linux, as under Windows it was painfully slow). Also, if I change textures into colours they are displayed fine, both on walls, floors and furniture.
Is it something with the graphic card?
I couldn't find any settings to change under linux.
If I don't use textures, but colours instead, everything looks fine in 3D and laptop is fast enough for comfortable working.
However, I want to use textures and work on laptop on my holidays, where I won't have internet access.
Any idea where to look?

Can you share your design?
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and maybe I can reproduce the error.

Of course.
What's the best way?
Using Mediafire?

Sorry I just saw your instructions by following link.
Give me a moment.

Here is the link on my Google Drive:

It's shared with everyone, so it should work.

I made a screenshot with my mobile, so you can see:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzDV5h7 ... sp=sharing

And here is the updated link to the file:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzDV5h7 ... sp=sharing

And I checked again my version of Lubuntu and it's 12.04, not 10.04. as I previously stated.

Nik,

On my computer two floors show wood, two floors show beige tiles, and outside walls are stone. So, the file has no problems.

Am I correct that the male figure shows correct textures?

When SH3D updated from 3.7 to 4.0, I had to install theoriginal Java on my computer. Several other people also reported problems, which were solved after uninstalling IceTea Java, and installing Sun/Oracle Java.

Yes, you're right. Male figure shows correct textures.
Any idea how to check Java version an how to replace it with Sun/Oracle Java.
I'm new to Linux.
I went to Synaptics Package Manager and it found hundreds of components containing word java.
However, when I went to Sun's web page and clicked on verify Java it found no Java installed.
Does that help?

Hi Hans,
I've managed to install Oracle/Sun java using instructions from here as you suggested here.
After that SH3D was uninstalled for some reason, and I had to re-install it, which I did (preferrences were preserved).
I've checked in Help/About, and it says:
Sweet Home 3D ® Version 4.1
Java version 1.7.0_25
3DS import provided by Microcrowd
PDF print provided by iText
SVG export provided by FreeHEP
Photo rendering provided by SunFlow
which is OK, I presume.

But, when I open my file I still have the same problem with the textures.
So, it must be something else, not Java.
Or, are there any tweaks I can do with Java?
Any idea?

Nik,

If it's not the software, than it must be the hardware.. The only thing I can think of, is updating the drivers of your graphics card. Use Google to find out how you should do that.

I made a small test file, to make sure the problem is persistent.
