ubuntu-gnome 16.04 64 with proposed updates active.
My graphic card is a nvidia gtx750ti
I can provide extra sudo lshw if needed
I thougt it works, but I have just click on new button and program crash, terminal says:
FreeCAD: gl.cpp:2354: const cc_glglue* cc_glglue_instance(int): Assertion `current_ctx && "Must have a current GL context when instantiating cc_glglue!! (Note: if you are using an old Mesa GL version, set the environment variable COIN_GL_NO_CURRENT_CONTEXT_CHECK to get around what may be a Mesa bug.)"' failed.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the issue you are facing. the GL error are really strange to me. Are you running ubuntu Desktop ? Can you provide me the output of lsmod command ?
In my opinion this is bad. Not only is this package based on a development version, it is based on a separate branch (occt7). This version is now months old. In the Help forum we actively advise against using the 0.17 development version to newcomers because it is simply not ready for wide use yet.
I haven't migrated to 16.04 yet on my main PC so I have no idea how the package description looks like in the Software Centre. But if there is no clear indication that it is a development version, it should definitely be removed from the Software Centre.
It looks like the name dispute has been resolved, but I never got notified; someone filed a bug against the Ubuntu freecad package, but states they're using "FreeCAD 17 Beta" which is the name of the snap, so I checked my account on snapcraft.io and it says I own the 'freecad' name but have not pushed a snap for it. So, if I now own the name we need to get it moved to the FreeCAD Maintainers team on Launchpad.
Another -1 for snaps for me.
