I'm using Kubuntu 18.04 and the FreeCAD stable PPA.

Code: Select all

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.13541 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-17
Hash: 9948ee4f1570df9216862a79705afb367b2c6ffb
Python version: 2.7.15rc1
Qt version: 5.9.5
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0

Code: Select all

$ dpkg -l | grep -i freecad
ii  freecad                                              1:0.17.13541-1ppa10~ubuntu18.04.1                  amd64        Extensible Open Source CAx program (beta)
How can I make it work again ? (it worked before!)

I have deleted all my preferences and re-installed FreeCAD again but it still does not work:

Code: Select all

sudo apt remove --purge freecad
rm ~/.FreeCAD/ ~/.config/FreeCAD/ -rf
sudo apt install -y freecad
I experience the same problem with the freecad-daily version.
Feel free to ask for information if you miss some!

Thanks

It looks like there is some Qt version mismatch there: your FreeCAD is using 5.9, but your pyside2 package wants 5.11...
Where does /home/victor/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PySide2/QtCore.so come from?
