FC on Ubuntu 20.10

Post by janc.linders »

Tried to install the apt-get FreeCAD-Daily for 0.19-pre on my new Ubuntu 20.10 release.
This results in the following error :

admin@admin-latitudee7240:~/Documents/freecad-build/bin$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily
[sudo] password for admin:
Repository: 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freecad-mainta ... ly/ubuntu/ groovy main'
Description:
Ubuntu daily builds of FreeCAD. These packages are generated by Launchpad's automatic system, and are untested.

Note: the ccx package brings CalculiX support to the FEM workbench, and needs to be installed separately.

For now I've downloaded the GIT version and compiled myself successful.

I can try to get that added this weekend.
Like my FreeCAD work? I'd appreciate any level of support via Patreon, Liberapay, or PayPal! Read more about what I do at my blog.
