Issue running Salome at 22.04

franco.ota · March 22, 2024, 7:53am

Hello nabil,
I jump in the conversation as I had a similar issue, from python I am getting:

print(linux_distribution())
<stdin>:1: DeprecationWarning: distro.linux_distribution() is deprecated. It should only be used as a compatibility shim with Python's platform.linux_distribution(). Please use distro.id(), distro.version() and distro.name() instead.
('TUXEDO OS', '22.04', 'jammy')

so in theory, I should add to $salome_path/sat/src/distrib.pyconf (tuxedo is based in ubuntu actually in kde neon to be exactly…)

  "TUXEDO OS": "UB"

I also added "TUXEDOOS": "UB" as I saw this with redhat… neverhtless when I run sat tool it tells me that is not recognized and that i should add it.

sat/sat config SALOME-9.12.0-native --check_system
Unknown distribution: 'not found'
Please add your distribution to src/internal_config/distrib.pyconf

regards

indeed if you look at the source code sat/src/architecture.py
and search for the function get_distribution, you can read that it needs to be set in lower case.
Here you need to set:

"tuxedo os" : "UB"

can you share the output of:

cat /etc/os-release

as well as the output of:

from distro import linux_distribution
print(linux_distribution())

thanks .

franco.ota · March 22, 2024, 8:22am

can you share the output of etc/os/release:

the is no etc/os/release but I have etc/lsb-release and etc/lsb-release.dist

> cat etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="TUXEDO OS 2 22.04.4 LTS"

> cat lsb-release.dist 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS"

and search for the function get_distribution, you can read that it needs to be set in lower case.
Here you need to set:
"tuxedo os" : "UB"

the output of print(linux_distribution()) is in my previous message

I added to $salome_path/sat/src/distrib.pyconf and runned sat command:

sat/sat config SALOME-9.12.0-native --check_system

Are you using the universal binary ?

franco.ota · March 22, 2024, 9:10am

the output was from the universal vr as I wanted to use that one and was having issues with the explode command, for the ubuntu one (it was running but after running the sat it looks like some dependencies were missing) here is the output: and I should remark for next version of salome that there is an error in the output, if you see in the warning it says to install the dependencies and it mentions ‘fftw’ this is not recognized by apt install, and it even stoped my apt install, but if you remove that one and install all the rest and re run the sat it will be enought to have all the dependencies so, this ‘fftw’ should not be printed…

NabilG · March 22, 2024, 9:27am

Indeed this should not be used in case of universal binary. This command is aimed for non universal distributions. This needs to be fixed.
Thanks
Regards.

gforti · March 23, 2024, 9:42pm

Thank you very much.
It works, thanks

gforti · March 26, 2024, 11:14am

Salome doesn’t work on Wayland, right? I had to revert my system to X11.

NabilG · March 26, 2024, 7:47pm

I raised the question to one colleague of mine to check whether the Debian 12 we have at hand could be used to check this wayland display server issue you’re raising here.
If I get it, you mean that SALOME does not start if you’re using Wayland, SALOME does not start ?
thanks.

gforti · March 26, 2024, 9:29pm

Yes, Salome does not open when using KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland.

gforti · April 4, 2024, 3:59pm

Just to confirm the behavior. Salome opens, but when I try any module, Geometry for instance, it crashes. It gives the following message:
X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GetWindowAttributes)
Resource id in failed request: 0xf
Serial number of failed request: 10
Current serial number in output stream: 11

HI Franco,
sorry for the late reply. Here, since you’re using the universal binary, you need to use run_salome.sh to ensure that you bootstrap SALOME with the embedded python, since the one of UB24 is not compatible

You can also run SALOME 9.13 built for Ubuntu 24

24Rob · February 6, 2025, 2:00pm

Hi all,
I’m new to Salome and tried to install several versions to use them in Ubuntu 22.04, but none of them run.

For version 9.11.0 I checked my native prerequisites with the command

./sat config SALOME-9.11.0-native --check_system

and it showed following lines:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/jspreng/SALOME-9.11.0/sat/./sat”, line 43, in
import src.logger as LOG
File “/home/jspreng/SALOME-9.11.0/sat/src/init.py”, line 43, in
from . import test_module
File “/home/jspreng/SALOME-9.11.0/sat/src/test_module.py”, line 33, in
import imp
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘imp’

When I try running salome with ./salome, following lines appear:

What can I do to get Salome running correctly on my laptop?
Thank you very much for your answers.

NabilG · February 6, 2025, 2:38pm

Is there a particular reason to use version 9.11 ? IMHO, you should move to a more recent version and benefit from bug fixes and a one embedded script which fixes the reported issue.
In case you need to stick to that version, you can use the attached file to bootstrap the embedded python as follows:

mv run_salome.sh.txt SALOME-9.11.0/run_salome.sh
chmod u+x SALOME-9.11.0/run_salome.sh
SALOME-9.11.0/run_salome.sh # run --usage to see options

this script is part of more recent releases.
File: run_salome.sh.txt (1.6 KB)

24Rob · February 6, 2025, 9:41pm

Thank you very much for your answer!
Using your .txt file in combination with the command

chmod u+x SALOME-9.11.0/run_salome.sh.txt

the starting screen of Salome opens for a few seconds, but afterwards the GUI isnt popping up.
Capture

No, there is no reason for me to run 9.11. I just had the problem that 9.13 also did not work and so I tried another version. WIth 9.11 I got further with the installation, but still problems describes as above occurred…
I will try installing and running 9.13 with your tips and update my post after trying out if 9.13 works with that.

Do you have any opinions on the lines showed after running ./sat config SALOME-9.11.0-native --check_system ?

NabilG · February 6, 2025, 10:47pm

Hi,
here since you’re using the universal binary, you do not need to run the command :

./sat config SALOME-9.11.0-native --check_system

This command is aimed to check for some system prerequisites if you use one Ubuntu 22.04 SALOME release only.

Can you try instead to check whether running mesa layer helps, namely, run:

   SALOME-9.11.0/run_salome.sh --mesa

If it does not help, you can check whether you’re running wayland for which some issues were reported in the past. You can check for instance output of: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE or ps -edf | grep X command and search for wayland. If this is the case, you can instead fall back to X11 (feasible usualy directly in the login screen).

See this thread or simply search for wayland in forum for additional informations.

It seems there is an issue with the version of Python you are using: “imp” and “SafeConfigParser” have been deprecated.

To fix “SafeConfigParser” see here

24Rob · February 19, 2025, 10:33am

Thank you for the reply, I already solved the problem.

NabilG · February 19, 2025, 10:49am

I believe, it will be useful to others if you could share how you resolved the second issue you reported about.
Thanks.
