Hi, it is very much possible to run Abaqus in Ubuntu with out any problem.
for your satisfaction, I have also attached a screen shot of my desktop with Abaqus running on it.
But on the other hand, I am not a very experienced user of Linux,
for some reason, I have everything working just fine on my laptop at present, thanks to all the forums. and I just goto windows only for using skype video , rest I stay all time on ubuntu though.
But, it took me more then 2-3 weeks to make Abaqus running on Ubuntu, as it is not supported on Ubuntu and also , I was 1st trying Abaqus 6.5.
anyway, the last thing i remember is running the documentation
from the cd directly using -nosystemcheck command
if that doesnt work, i also tried one more thing for installing documention.
I copied the cd on my desktop, then navigate to the documentation installation directory , there u will find a "/media/cdrom0/UNIX/install.bin" which you can run by using the command
Code:
chmod a+x install.bin
./install
also , for documentation, you check this website
http://www.engin.brown.edu:2080/v6.7/
well , for installing Abaqus, you have to use
Code:
/cd/setup -nosystemcheck
and for running Abaqus, you can make a link for abaqus in your
/usr/bin directory using command
Code:
ln -s /usr/local/abaqus/command/abaqus /usr/bin/abaqus
but as pointed out above, due to desktop effects, you will get problem when you will run Abaqus . there for you have to use following command
[CODE]
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 /abaqus_dir/abaqus cae
[CODE]
or I have made a alias for this command in my bash file
for making alias, in case you don't know, you can check my friends website
http://debianrules.blogspot.com/2006/02/alias.html
so i made the alias as
Code:
alias abaqus="XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 /abaqus_dir/abaqus"
and now for running cae, i use command abaqus -cae and for running job, i use command abaqus -job
regarding your kernel problem, so I have no idea, make be you can try updating your system and reinstalling Abaqus from scratch.
also, just try to command which is mention above for running gui
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
and see if it works.
good luck and let us know what did you get, i will try to check my system again later in day and see if I can give you some more help.
