Fritzing

[johny-pineault-4]

Hi !!!

So I just done a fresh install of Ubuntu 18 on my pc and everything work (Steam , kicad ect ) so I checked for Fritzing in the Ubuntu software and it's outdated and the last update on the official site is since 2016 I think. Anyway, so i download the package from the oficial website and extract I try it , got an error from the app that say bin part and data are missing but the gui is there . So I chek around and see that the part folder are empty and there is another folder containing the part so I paste it and try and it dosent work the app didnt lunch. I try the one on Ubuntu Software and I get error in the app too. So I found tutorial online that seem to be okay since it all does what ive done but in the terminal and more thing .

So know my trouble is that the app didnt lauch at all ( the 9.3 one on official ) if the one on Ubuntu Softare isn't install( 9.2) but when I install the one on the Ubuntu Software both only start the splash screen logo then close
Ive tried delete every thing and do it again but nothing.

there is the tutorial

You say that you're running Ubuntu 18.04 and want to install fritzing version 0.9.3b ..... correct?

Isn't the official Ubuntu package already at that version?
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/fritzing

There is also the option of installing via flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.fritzing.Fritzing

Have you tried

sudo apt install fritzing

When is in the repo will I see it in the software browser (the Ubuntu "app store ")
Just done that and it seam to have insalled the 0.9.3b and I only get the fritzing splash screen and then nothing

[johny-pineault-4]

i've tried to delete file in the .config folder and then the one in documents and re instal it with the instruction in the link i've put over and still nothing.

[again?]

Try installing fritzing-parts as well.

sudo apt install fritzing fritzing-parts

Then via terminal run (note the capitalized "F". This command sets the parts directory to /usr/share/fritzing/parts)....

Fritzing

If errors post the output of...

apt policy fritzing*

eg my output on 18.04 where fritzing starts....

glen@Bionic:~$ apt policy fritzing*
