Sweet Home 3D: how to install?

[again?]

May be due to your gfx driver/opengl renderer being used.
Post your gfx details.
I'm not on top of java and glx but others may know.

Inxi is a script in the repos that makes it easier.

sudo apt install inxi

Then post the output of

inxi -G

eg

glen@Bionic:~$ inxi -G
Graphics:  Card: NVIDIA GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti]
           Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.19.6 ) driver: nvidia Resolution: 1680x1050@59.88hz
           OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.116

Please use code blocks...see sig below.

start the java version. it will work.

run the java file. the other one doesn't seem to work so i stopped bothering with it. not sure why it doesn't work. i tried oracle java, opensource java...

Hi mastablasta,
what's the main difference between these 2 start scripts.
First one gives me the opengl error.

Hi guber2,
Here it is:

Graphics:
Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] driver: nvidia
v: 390.116
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: intel resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: N/A v: N/A

@mastablasta : what package of Java should I download? There are billions and I do not understand the differences.
Is there anything easy that I can download from the Repository?
p.d. I tried the java version and it gives me the same error as the other one. And I think I have Oracle Java installed already.

[again?]

So neither of the start scripts shown in my previous post pic work?

[lpalazzotto]

Oh, yeah, sorry. Here is the result:

Neither of the start script work.

Btw: I think Java-12 is installed, according to Synaptic.

I still do not understand this GLX 1.3 thing: it has something to do with the drive I guess.

Hi guber2,
Here it is:

Graphics:
Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] driver: nvidia
v: 390.116
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: intel resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: N/A v: N/A

I would say your issue is most likely due to having 2 gfx devices.
Inxi shows "OpenGL: renderer: N/A v: N/A".
Don't know if this is a fault with inxi or your gfx/drivers.

Only ever having the single nvidia gfx card I don't know how to work through the issue.
Maybe your GP107M gfx device is not being used by default? Bumblebee?
Post the output of

inxi -b
ubuntu-drivers devices
cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log

and others more familiar with your hardware may be able to guide you.

Hi mastablasta,
what's the main difference between these 2 start scripts.
First one gives me the opengl error.

I think one uses some old java or something. not sure exactly anymore, but they have it written in one of the documentation files. but in some cases the launcher didn't work while the older one does. the java one uses some libraries that are supplied with the program i believe. i believe that in case of this java launcher you might also need to assign maximum RAM usage manually. or are you saying neither of them works?

intel should work just fine. if you render more complex images i think the CPU is then used (because mine does it really slow)

i would suggest to go with oracle java if the opensource one is not working. unfortunately it is not so easy to install anymore, because Oracle closed the license or requires some registering or something. before we would just add a PPA and install it.

i would need to investigate a bit more at home, but i do remember that installer and all that didn't really work.
