SweetHome3D crashing on opening my home

[wdh]

Yesterday I installed SweetHome3D on Ubuntu 9.04. I put quite a bit of work in setting up my living room in it. Actually, I was quite impressed with the program.

Not sure that it is relevant, but after this, I decided that I should update Ubuntu to the latest version (9.10). After a few reboots I fired up SweetHome3D again, which started correctly. But.. when opening my 'home.sh3d' file, it briefly displays it for like half a second and than the entire window disappears.

Any ideas on how to deal with this? I'd hate to have to remodel my home all over again.

Upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 brings sometimes nice surprises and sometimes bad surprises.

I guess you can't open more than one home in your configuration.
Open it directly at Sweet Home 3D launch, with the SweetHome3D command of the installer version followed by the path of your sh3d file.

Apparently I did not install it yet. I was using the Java WebStart version.

The installer version doesn't run here at all. This is probably due to Ubuntu lacking 3D support for my GPU. Or actually, due to ATI for dropping support for the card in the fglrx driver.


I guess there's not much left to try?

For information, the error message when running the installer version follows. After this, I get a message box stating that SweetHome3D is exiting because of a 3D error.
