Salome on Ubuntu 20.04

Hi everybody,

I decided to initiate this thread because I havne't seem any about how or when it would be possible to install Salome on Ubuntu 20.04.

By now if you download the Universal Linux Binary, unpack and try to run it, it gives lots of error message. If someone had a different result or maybe could give some comment about the installing of Salome 9.5 on Ubuntu 20.04 I would appreciate.

Regards.

Hi Thiago, can you share the error messages you report about with the universal linux binary ?

Thanks

In case the experienced issues are about graphics libraries, you can use the embedded libraries which are shipped with the universal binary archives.

To link against these libraries, you need to uncomment this line in salome script file:
    context.addToLdLibraryPath(out_dir_Path + r"/BINARIES-CO7/system_dep/gl")

Hi Nabil,

Sorry not posting the error message. I did what you suggested and now Salome 9.5 (Universal Linux Binary) its running nicely on my Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. Thank you.
I post bellow the errors messages I found and the solutions in the case of others find the same problems.

First error trying to run:

runSalome running on thiago-Inspiron-5557
Error when trying to access active network connections.
Traceback (most recent call last): ...

SOLUTION: install net-tools - don't know why, just found in Google...

Second error trying to run:

SOLUTION: uncomment the line context.addToLdLibraryPath(out_dir_Path + r"/BINARIES-CO7/system_dep/gl") in file ./SALOME-9.5.0/salome - don't know why, ask Nabil

I successfully run Salome from universal binaries after enabling system_dep/gl, but cannot open user guides. When I click on Help, then on any of the User's guide modules, nothing happens.

can you try the following:

- File -> Preferences -> General - External browser use another browser than firefox  like e.g Konqueror

It works in my case with this browser. The issue seems to be linked with .so mismatch in case of firefox which is the default browser.

Please help me out.

Hi Abhilash (you sent me a private message, but I reply here to share the information)

looking at the trace, it seems that your problem is more about a conflict in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

/home/areddy1/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2012/ThirdParty/platforms/linux64/gcc-6.3.0/lib64

you need to start SALOME in a fresh shell environment which does not conflict

In addition, you seem to be missing some graphics library:

libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

you can use apt-file find libGLU.so.1

and install the package (maybe libglu1-mesa)

In case you're still experiencing issues, you can use the universal Linux binary.

HTH
