Well here we are at Nov 5 2017 and Ubuntu17.01 still has the same problem. It is interesting that Debian unstable has a working copy. I really need this program and have wasted hours trying to get it to work. The J. Schoeberl suggestion above may work for some but not for me. System Debian Stretch host with qemu Kubuntu as guest.
If you do an apt-cache depends dump you will find that libgl1-glvnd- nvidia-glx is used in the debian version and mesa used in the Ubuntu version. Also, libjpeg8 is used in Ubuntu but libjpeg62-turbo is used in Debian. The liboce files are all version 10 in Ubuntu and version11 in Debian. This problem has been around for almost 2 years without even being assigned . I hope this will kick someone in the tush and get some action. garyr -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556445 Title: netgen does not start anymore, X error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netgen/+bug/1556445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
