Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
I cannot figure out where the performance loss of java3d 1.6 is coming from and so I had to switch back to java3d 1.5.2. ... very disappointing, but hey, that's life...

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
Don't know if I should start a new thread, but I cannot run Sweethome3d in Ubuntu 18.10. Both of the scripts in the download directory fail to run.
With both scripts I get:
# # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # Internal Error (os_linux_x86.cpp:291), pid=17622, tid=0xf6bccb40 # fatal error: An irrecoverable SI_KERNEL SIGSEGV has occurred due to unstable signal handling in this distribution. # # JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_202-b08) (build 1.8.0_202-b08) # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (25.202-b08 mixed mode linux-x86 ) # Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again # # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /home/gjbaarda/Downloads/SweetHome3D-6.1.2/hs_err_pid17622.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://bugreport.java.com/bugreport/crash.jsp # Afgebroken (geheugendump gemaakt)
If I run the webstart version the initial window opens but then I get a pop-up window saying '3D error" and after clicking OK SH3D exits.

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
In your personal folder in .local/share/applications create new file named SweetHome3D.desktop. Copy the following content into it:
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Sweet Home 3D GenericName=Interior 2D design application with 3D preview GenericName[de]=Innenraumplaner Comment=Interior design Java application for quickly choosing and placing furniture on a house 2D plan drawn by the end-user with a 3D preview Path=/path/to/SweetHome3D-6.1.2 Exec=sh -c "/path/to/SweetHome3D-6.1.2/SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2" %U Icon=/path/to/SweetHome3D-6.1.2/SweetHome3DIcon.png StartupNotify=true StartupWMClass=com-eteks-sweethome3d-SweetHome3D Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=SweetHome3D;2DGraphics;3DGraphics;Graphics; Keywords=interior;design;2D;3D;home;house;furniture;java; MimeType=application/sweethome3d;
Edit "/path/to/SweetHome3D-6.1.2" to the location where your SH3D is. At the "Exec"-section you can try the other start script too.
This will start SH3D via the terminal.

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
It was only a try, you have not the same issue as I had. So, what type of video card have you installed? Have you the newest driver for this card? What's the reason for running Ubuntu 18.10 and not the 18.04 LTS?

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
I'm beginning to think it is related to the graphics card. On my laptop, which is also running ubuntu 18.10, I can run the webstart SH3D if install the java3d and icedtea package. This has an intel graphics chipset.
On my desktop, I can't. It is a 12GB core i7 920, using an NVIDIA Geforce 660 Ti. Graphics driver is 390.116.
If I open the webstart version I get the program window, but then a window pops up saying 3D error. If I click that it will close the program.

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
To reply on my own post:
I removed and reinstalled all Java stuff on my computer and now I get the same behavior from the command line as from the webstart link if I use the ./SweetHome3D shell command.
However if I use the ./SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2 command SH3D starts!
SO, I have no idea what was the problem, but now it is gone.
Hey Pascal: You seem to have learned quite a lot about this problem of Sweet Home 3D not launching in Ubuntu.
When I run it to terminal here is what I get:
Java 3D: implicit antialiasing enabled Java 3D ERROR : GLX extension is not supported GLX version 1.3 or higher is required Gtk-Message: 23:46:53.643: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException etc.
I have Java Oracle 12 installed. What is this GLX 1.3 and how do I fix it? I cannot see it in my system.

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
Maybe out of topic For those who use it under all kind of linux system: Forget about any ppa, synaptic or whatever repository. Usually don't work or don't work correctly for a lot of reasons. That's not the fault of SH3D developer BUT the distribution managers. At this times the space is no more a problem for decent programs. Use the installer version from this site and You will be more happy. e.g.I have a <60G SSD for all system and programs (root, home & swap); SH3D have 140MB + a lot of library and plans all at a half of an ancient movie.
