Sweet Home installation failure

[Lumaja]

I am a newbie with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and tried to install Sweet Home 3d but failed.
Because I dint understand the Terminal output ask Ubuntu for help the answer follows.

It looks like you have several problems with the packages, it has unfulfilled dependencies.
Try to contact the manager of that package source because there are at list two URLs poiting to nowhere.

What should I do next to install the application successful.

Luis,

When using Ubuntu 12.04 you should do the following:
- download SH3D 3.7 using the green button here or version 3.6 here.
- unzip the downloaded file.
- drag the unzipped directory where you want it.
- right-click the file SweetHome3D, choose Properties, then Permissions and make sure that you Allow executing file as program.
- ready.

Thank you for the help follow the Explanation but still not start

Luis,

Please, explain step-by-step in detail what you are doing. If you get an error message, please tell us about it.
My instructions should lead to a correctly functioning SH3D.

Only exception is when you have an old graphics card or incompatible drivers. In that case read the FAQ.

I execute Sweet Home 3D.jar instead Sweet Home 3D only I deeply Apologize .

It is working but I have two questions.
I have an activation code, how should I activate.
How to have on Desktop an icon instead to open the directory to start the application.

Thank you for your excellent help.

Hi Hans,

Using Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. SW3D used to work just fine. However, with some updates, it stopped working (was version 3.4). Decided to uninstall this version and install newest 3.7...

Since it is not available from "Logithèque Ubuntu", followed instructions here but once installed, when I open the SW, I have the SW3D boot image on but the software won't start.

Worce, the SH3D image containing :
eTeks Copyright 2007-2012
Distributez under GNU General Public Licence

is masking anyother window & I can't move it nor make it disappear...

Thanks,

Daniel

This link should download version 3.8 beta 5.
This works on my computer, running Ubuntu 12.04.

If it doesn't work, please report what happens.
