updated:
Since a short while i'm in the possession of a spave navigator from 3dconnexion for use with freecad.
in my recent (fresh) ubuntu install i tried to install spacenavd so i could use it. so i found the correct way and it all worked (excerpt the buttons)
Today i updated my ubuntu install and had to re-install freecad. so also 3d spacenavd which i did but te space navigator is not seen within freecad.
I hope there is someone around here that can help me understand where i go wrong or what goes wrong here.
anyway this is the following data:
0) Link with my previous (unanswered question).
- https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 68#p162268
what i did today:
1) update ubuntu 17.04
2) Install Freecad-stable Version: 0.16.6707 (Git)
3) sudo apt-get install spacenavd,
- after which i rebooted, opened freecad.. and found no spacenav present.
4) opened synaptic package manager, searched spacenav -> and found installed:
- libspnav0 0.2.3-1
- spacenavd 0.6-1
- libspnavdev uninstalled -> installed this (besides libspnav0)
5) rebooted the laptop.
6) tried sevral other usb ports.
7) lsusb -> Bus 002 Device 006: ID 046d:c626 Logitech, Inc. 3Dconnexion Space Navigator 3D Mouse
- so it is present in the system.
Still no recognition of the spacenavigator within freecad.
Any additional info needed please ask!
Would really appreciate some help on this..
kind regards, Matthieu
Addition:
Also installed Freecad-daily and re-booted.
still no space nav found within freecad, to be clear... spaceball motion and spaceball buttons tabs are present and
- Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:c626 Logitech, Inc. 3Dconnexion Space Navigator 3D Mouse
is still seen in the terminal.
since then i also tried the manual install.. as explained.
but this goes wrong to, partly because the same was previously installed..
anyway.. at the end i can't even rune the libspnav's cube and simple. -> no application installed for shared librairy.
getting tired and bit frustrated.. so continue tomorrow.
