[solved] Ubuntu 24.04 Upgrade issues - QCAD 3.31.2 Pro linux-qt5.14-x86_64

QCAD Professional QCAD Installation and Upgrades

Hi Andrew,

I ran into some difficulties when upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.04 - will not bore you with the details.

I had to install a new graphics card to work with 24.04 to get a suitable NVIDIA driver - now GT 1050.

I had to re-install all software and now have a working system with the exception of QCAD. I have recently renewed my license to QCAD Pro and have had another attempt to install this morning. I have followed the installation procedure and all seems well but the QCAD icon does not appear to work.

I have tried running from the installation directory directly using ./qcad but have had no joy.

The PC is dual boot and the windows 10 installation of QCAD works well.

Is this enough information for you to go on?

Thanks

Ian

Thanks for your report.

When running from the command line, what exact error message do you get?
What is the file name of the package you have downloaded and installed?

Thanks.

Blimey that was quick!

Error message is

QCAD version 3.31.2
11:20:10: Info: Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
Warning: Application already running. Aborting…

We first need to get rid of that with:

killall -9 qcad
killall -9 qcad-bin

Then try again and post again the error message. Thanks.

All good now - many thanks Andrew, brilliant!
