I apologize if this is not the right place to post on the subject.
I got an error while FreeCAD-daily was updating today - a syntax error in /usr/lib/freecad-daily/MOD/Draft/Draft.py
there is a missing closing bracket on line 3701

FreeCAD daily 0.18 13660 (Git) 2018/05/02

After installing the new freeCAD (0.17). The software carshes at start with this:

I think you need to make sure the upgrade process went properly.

Unfortunately this cannot be done in the GUI.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

/home/nsamba/.FreeCAD/Mod/Cfd/InitGui.py

What is the Cfd module? Could it be that it links against an older version of SMESH?

[Taufeeq2]

Is it possible to remove those faulty modules using freecadcmd?

[Taufeeq2]

The issue is now solved by deleting both the assembly and Cfd modules.
Thanks for your support!

Is it possible to install freecad-daily on Ubuntu 18.04,

You have to add the daily ppa: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Install_on_Unix. BTW: a more descriptive title might help you and others, something like "HowTo install FreeCAD 0.18 on Ubuntu?".
