SALOME 9.15.0 not responding on Ubuntu 24.04

I have extracted the file SALOME-9.15.0.tar.gz to path /home/USERNAME/salome-meca/SALOME-9.15.0/ when I run from this folder in terminal ./salome I get the error, but when I run it with sudo ./salome the SALOME 9.15.0 starts but is every ca. 1 min I got the warning that the application is not responding and if I wait for ca. 5 sec, the application “unfreezes”. Can anyone help me with this?

Many thanks!

you need to run: ./run_salome.sh in order to bootstrap the embedded python.

If I run this command in the extracted folder /home/USERNAME/salome-meca/SALOME-9.15.0/I receive an error bash: ./run_salome.sh: Permission denied. Should I check/reset the user rights?

you need to change the permissions: chmod u+x ./run_salome.sh , then you can run it.
HTH.

I have changed the permissions but I still receive the error:

./run_salome.sh: line 53: /home/lskrinjar/salome-meca/SALOME-9.15.0/BINARIES-CO7/Python/bin/python3: Permission denied

Do I have to repair some Ubuntu user rights?

I have solved the issue with permissions sudo chmod -R 755 *. But the salome-meca is continuously “not responding” every 5 seconds (Ubuntu 24 is running on Virtual Box). Any ideas/suggestions where to look for the problem?

Are you running your VM as root ? While you can bypass this by setting the following environment variables, the better approach is to create and use a non-root account:

 export OMPI_ALLOW_RUN_AS_ROOT=1
 export OMPI_ALLOW_RUN_AS_ROOT_CONFIRM=1

Here better create a non root account.
