Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10

Post by UbuntuBirdy »

There are no problems before in Ubuntu 17.04, but since i've upgradet to 17.10 sw3d does not launch, it does nothing. It's the version from the download section here on the site.
If i install the version from Ubuntu-Software, it runs without any problems, but this version has some limitations (e.g. the furniture can only displayed as icons in the plan).

If you unpack the download, there's a little program called SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2. Double-click it and then click Run.

I just tried on a brand new image of Ubuntu 17.10 64 bit, and both scripts [font=courier new]SweetHome3D[/font] and [font=courier new]SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2[/font] run correctly (but with Java 3D 1.5.2, furniture seen from the top in the plan was black).

Check if you have the best video drivers installed.
I run Mint 18 (=Ubuntu 16.04?) with the Java script, and everything works perfectly.

It's not easy to run a polaris chip on Ubuntu. That's why i upgradet to 17.10 and always install the newest kernel, and that helps a lot.
But a upgradet 17.10 is not a clean system, so there are many many possible problems. And the reason why i run such a system ist the amd ryzen cpu that does not run properly with older ubuntu versions.
So, let's stop here, i can accept the limitations i wrote about and i will wait for 18.04 and then do a clean fresh installation.

Now i'm running a clean and fresh installed Ubuntu 18.04, all works fine, except for sweethome3d...
Same limitations as in 17.10 if the program ist installed from the software center. no luck if i download it from here, then it is impossible to start sweethome3d.
For now it seems to me like the problem is not java, i beleve its the video drivers.
there are lots of improvements in other grafical software since 18.04, but not in sweethome3d on my machine...

it's like that for me too.
With ubuntu 18.04 the sweet home graphic is very bad.
Forniture Library Editor and Texutures Library Editor do not open files.
Has anyone else tried with ubuntu 18.04?

Sorry for my translated English

Oh man, i'm no longer alone!
Are you running the version from the softwarecenter in Ubuntu or the version downloaded here from the Website?
What kind of craphiccard are you using? Brand? Type?

Hello
I installed from the software center, I also downloaded SweetHome3D-5.7-linux-x64.tgz, unpacked and tried to open the file SweetHome3D or SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2, but nothing.
Do I have to install any version of java? which?

I do not know English, what does craphiccard mean?

let's keep up to date
good evening
