FreeCAD 18.1/Ubuntu 18.04.2. LTS: no workbenches after install

[m.cavallerin]

Hi,

i'm facing similar issue and I have this error:

Code: Select all

During initialization the error type object 'type' has no attribute '__signature__' occurred in /usr/share/freecad/Mod/Plot/InitGui.py
Please look into the log file for further information

Please look into the log file for further information

I clean almost everything and still it doesn't start; freecad doesn't load its gui interface, even if

Code: Select all

freecad -c

it runs properly.

If I run the freeCAD_assy3 fork (python2) it works

Should my issue related to python2 and python 3?

If inside a terminal I type:

Code: Select all

python --version

I get Python 2.7.15rc1

thx

Using linux Mint

thx

Can you be more explicit on what you've tried or what commands you've run?

Very interested to see if this issue can be resolved - I have the same error running the AppImage or building from source.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge freecad freecad-common # TWO packages, I THINK the second package was freecad-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get install freecad 

"upd" is a script that does ...
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
... after having done "$ARGUMENTS"

These are the steps I followed

[kkremitzki]

Can you try these? Those commands are not sufficient.

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge -y \*freecad\*
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/freecad && sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/freecad

Then install freecad again.

Ok, I did as your suggestion

Can you paste the output of dpkg -l | grep freecad and ls -l /usr/lib/freecad?

Hmm, that all looks normal. I guess the next thing to try then would be to temporarily move ~/.FreeCAD to a new location so your user-level configuration files will be regenerated. Try running mv ~/.FreeCAD ~/.FreeCAD.bkp and then re-run FreeCAD and see what happens.

No nothimg, I think that something has been disrupted by some installaton I performed some weeks ago....

I think I'm going to reinstall everything...Linux too..

Thx in any case....
