[Solved] Salome Meca v2018 launch problem

Hi,
I recently installed Salome Meca 2018 and it went smoothly. However, when I launch it, none of the modules is available for use. It hangs whenever I click any of the modules.
V2017.0.2 runs fine and I believe all prerequisites for V2018 are satisfied.
When launched via terminal, I get this error.

It looks some Graphics Card issue to me. I have an AMD firepro graphics card but driver is not installed.

Please help.

Thanks a lot.

Edit: Installation of drivers has fixed the issue.

Re: [Solved] Salome Meca v2018 launch problem

I had the same kind of issue with Salome_Meca2018 on Linux Mint with a Nvidia Video card :

The application started but none of the graphics windows on Geom, Mesh and Paraview was working.

It happened with the Nouveau Driver and the Nvidia Driver.

For my understanding there is some kind of incompatibility between the libstdc++.so.6 included in Salome_Meca and the one in the system.

I found online a workaround by preloading the library from the system before running Salome :

nyark@nyark-laptop ~/salome_meca/appli_V2018 $ LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' DISPLAY=:0 ./salome 

This worked for me and I hope it could help someone else.

Re: [Solved] Salome Meca v2018 launch problem

Hi

Another way is to remove the 3 "libstdc++" files in the "$HOME/salome_meca/V2018/prerequisites/debianForSalome/lib" directory

see "How to install Salome-Meca 2017.02 in Ubuntu 18.04" post

Re: [Solved] Salome Meca v2018 launch problem

Hi,

I had a similar problem launching Salome Meca v2018 although v2017 was running without any problem.
Turns out I had to install the official drivers for my graphics card which I had not done since installing Ubuntu 18.04 recently.

These pieces of code worked for me.

ubuntu-drivers devices

to check the recommended drivers and get other information

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

to autoinstall the recommended drivers

Maybe it can help others.

Cheers,
Ioannis
