Problem in Launching Freshly Installed Salome-Meca 2019 / Ubuntu 20.10

Hello, I am having trouble in launching a newly installed SM v2019.0.3-1-universal in my system.

The installation process strictly follows the detailed guide in #20 at the sticky thread _/viewtopic.php?id=24883 (Thanks sb1966!). Yet when launching SM via script, the program is automatically terminated in a flash after finishing the initiation, showing the following error prompt:

For testing things out, I tried restoring the relocated libstdc++.so* files back into ~/salome_meca/V2019.0.3_universal/prerequisites/debianForSalome/lib.
With that, SM could be launched with another set of error prompt below ...

... And giving out fatal error when launching Geometry, or instantly crashed once clicking into Mesh (without error prompt), AsterStudy, or ParaViS:

Seeing that it might be a GPU driver issue, I tried update the said driver ...

... which didn't help at all as the the aforementioned SM launch issue still persists.

Thus I am now totally clueless in how to solve this. Can anyone please help me out?
Many thanks!

Below are the info of my system should it helps:

CPU have passed a stress test in s-tui with a 5-hour session.
RAM sticks have passed Memtest86+ v5.0.1 with 2.5 test cycles in 14 hrs and found 0 error.

Re: Problem in Launching Freshly Installed Salome-Meca 2019 / Ubuntu 20.10

Hi all, here is an update of my unfortunate endeavor.

Good news is Salome-Meca can now be launched after a proper driver update via the following terminal command:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-460
$ sudo reboot

Bad news is during meshing the following error occurs:

I can confirmed that package liblapack.so.3 had been installed.
Can anyone please explain what went wrong & how to solve it?

Thanks!
