Trouble installing or running prusacontrol and/or slic3r PE #88
Comments
Agree, that would be useful for users new to AppImage.
ppas don't work for distributions that are not Debian/Ubuntu based.
It is "direct executable" but you need to set the executable bit, this is how security on Unix works (and has worked for the past decades). It's a feature, not a bug ;-)
So maybe something is incompatible with newer non-LTS systems such as Kubuntu 17.10.
That one is not from Prusa, and it gives me this error: |

Fwiw,
Also,

Thanks for the reply!

Or just maybe publish a ppa and make it easier :-D

Do you really think it can be easier than this?
Spent time thinking it was a direct executable...

Yes...it was just my problem, not knowing a thing about the AppImage format
and what to do with it. And, I suppose, nothing documenting what to do with
it, assuming everyone "knows". Like I say, I finally Googled it out and got
it going.
prusacontrol_0.9.4.414_beta.AppImage and Slic3r-1.39.1-prusa3d-linux64-
full-201803010854 both are working fine for me on Xubuntu 16.04.
Ok. Maybe I got a bad download of prusacontrol. I'll try downloading again.
In a weird twist, as I tried to shut down my computer, the Slic3r PE
interface popped up! So it was working, just that my 17.10 wasn't
displaying it (and I did look for it, on all screens). So I'll try that
again tonight.
Slic3r-master-latest.AppImage
That one is not from Prusa, and it gives me this error:
Um...yeah. Sorry, I thought I had corrected all those locations. This is
the original Slic3r, not PE. But interestingly enough, it ran for me.
But I want to use the PE edition, for obvious reasons.
me@host:~/Downloads/QuizTech.AppDir/usr$
/home/me/Downloads/Slic3r-master-latest.AppImage
libGL error: unable to load driver: r600_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: r600
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
The program 'slic3r.pl' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 1725 error_code 2 request_code 155 minor_code 24)
Thanks for your reply. If my testing tonight doesn't work, then I'll post
another question, but I appreciate your help.

Very cool! I wasn't quite bold enough to run the beta. But maybe I need to!

Sorry for the long post. Mostly it's to show that I did try what I thought were the most logical things, but had little success.
I'm trying to install and/or run either prusacontrol or slic3r PE, but either I'm dumber than I think (possible) or something is wrong.
I'm on Kubuntu 17.10 (and will upgrade to 18.04 within a week).
I'm new to 3d printing so logically I attempted to download prusacontrol_0.9.4.414_beta.AppImage.
(Suggestion: It would be nice to add the simple chmod instruction somewhere obvious for those of us not familiar with AppImage or Snaps or whatever the next cross-platform app-executor-du-jour is. Or just maybe publish a ppa and make it easier :-D ). Spent time thinking it was a direct executable...then a python image (since that was mentioned somewhere) then I pulled out Google like I should have at first.
So after the chmod a+e *.AppImage to make the AppImage executable, I get:
So maybe I needed slic3r PE. Seems that was mentioned, though not definitively in simple steps. I looked in github, prusa3d forums and knowledgebase, then google.
So this time I was smart and downloaded the tar.bz, since I'm familiar with what to do with that. Extracted, cd to the new directory, tried running ./slic3r, got the command line help. Hmm.
No install script (even though github or somewhere mentioned a do-install script) and no Readme file or anything to know what to do.
So tried running ./slic3r --gui, with poor results:
Also tried executing slic3r from Dolphin by double click, with no success, as expected.
Tried running ./slic3r.pl, with expectedly poor results as well.
Well, maybe the slic3r AppImage will behave better. Downloaded it, chmod, and execute:
...it hung, or at least the gui never showed its face. Too embarrassed by my poor attempts?
Just for grins I also downloaded the standard Slic3r-master-latest.AppImage, and surprisingly, it ran, after a few warnings, the main window appeared. (Didn't try to use it).
Can someone point out to me the dumb mistake I'm making that everyone else obviously knows about?
Thanks for any help!
