Vocx, could you be more specific about which ppa and distribution you used to get this to work. I've tried ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable and ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily with xenial and trusty and the python 3 stuff is not found.vocx wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 8:26 pmThe software is split into common packages, and packages specific to your Python version. Remove everything, then install only these packagesCode: Select all
sudo apt install freecad-common sudo apt install freecad-runtime sudo apt install freecad-python3 sudo apt install libfreecad-python3-0.18
This will be nice, but it currently gives meNormandC wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 2:21 amThere is no need to remove existing packages, unless the update failed somehow. freecad-python2 and libfreecad-python2-0.18 can cohabit with their Py3 counterpart. I think it's still useful to keep both.
To switch from one to the other:
Code: Select all
sudo update-alternatives --config freecad
so I don't see how you got the apt install to work?kkremitzki wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 9:16 pmTrusty is EOL and Xenial's version of Qt is too old to support Python 3 builds for us.
Trusty(14.04) is EOL
Please, please, please, avoid as much as possible the code names of the software (Trusty, Xenial, etc.). I know the name when the new distribution is released, but after 6 months I completely forget which imaginary animal was used by Ubuntu this time. Actually, after 10 years of using Ubuntu I don't even learn the names any more. For me it's just 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, etc. Using the code names was cute at the beginning, but really, who cares anymore?
