Hm... it's correct to start spacenavd with sudo so it can open a socket and wait for client connections. That first error message is from libspnav (linked into blender). I took the easy route and installed the spacenavd package in Ubuntu, which also took care of launching it properly.

In which case, which ubuntu? I'm on 10.04 at home, and 11.04 at work; there's spacenavd 0.3 at home and spacenavd 0.5 at home. What are you running? I started this project with the latest versions: spacenavd 0.5 and libspnav 0.2.2 on Ubuntu 11.04. Lightning storm took out my Linux box's power supply last week, so today I'm commandeering a nicer Ubuntu 10.04 machine from the lab for 32-bit build and testing. I'll keep an eye out for any issues with the earlier (daemon + library) pair. Also need to see if the latest libspnav plays nice with the older daemon. I also use a MacBook for 64-bit goodness (Ubuntu 11.04 Snow Leopard), and the always faithful PowerBook G4.

connect failed: No such file or directory ndof: spacenavd not found Same error on my end! It seems the spacenavd 0.3 package for Ubuntu does not set up the init script properly. Looking at the source, both versions use the same path to the socket file, so I'm sure you could get it to work with some fiddling. But since you're already mucking around on the command line, I recommend installing the latest spacenavd from source, as I just did on Ubuntu 10.04: Get spacenavd 0.5 from http://spacenav.sourceforge.net/ expand and cd into its directory ./configure make sudo make install sudo ./setup_init restart, enjoy!

Daniel Salazar:
Mike I managed to get it working! but it's unusable. seems that all

Testers seem to be split on this issue, so let me explain and offer a
workaround.The orbit modes are implemented as target camera rather
than object mode. In other words, you're controlling the viewpoint,
not the thing being viewed. Think of the viewpoint moving with the
knob instead of the object going the wrong way. This is consistent
with the way fly mode works. Shift-F over to that and tell me what you
think. Please also try the 2D navigation (either image/uv or one of
the flat quad views) and let me know if those feel wrong to you
also. If after a few days of practice you are still annoyed with the
way it works, we can look for a solution.
A quick alternative is to put something like this into /etc/spnavrc
# blender needs to do its own dead-zone filtering
dead-zone = 0
# any combination of {x,y,z} for each of these:
invert-rot = xy
invert-trans = yz
For general interest, here is what others had to say so far.
Jesper Schwachöfer:
Rotating and zooming around the object is much better than it used
to be. And for this turntable style moving, the fit button is perfect,
setting the rotational center was sometimes really buggy in the old
version.
Kevin Cozens:
Up/Down doesn't seem to work. Forward/backward zooms in and out
as expected. All other axis (left/right, yaw, pitch, roll) are operating
opposite to expectations. For example, I rotate the knob clockwise
and object rotates counter-clockwise.
Kyle Goddard:
No, it does exactly what I expected. Not confused for a second
about which way it would go when I do *this*. Fly mode is so much
better with this, I haven't used fly in years because it would zoom
past where I wanted. I'll have to practice, but yeah the directions
seem to be right.
The internal testers at 3Dconnexion would have alerted me or Nathan if
anything was seriously wrong with this implementation. They have
brought up other things, but not this, so they *are* paying attention.
The issue can be solved with some combination of practice and user
settings. I tend to lean toward practice + good behavior with default
settings.
Please continue to send any feedback this way!

Re: [Bf-committers] new dependencies for (spacenav / ndof / 3D mouse) support
Gah sorry for triple posting :) When you navigate your normal view (not fly mode) you do it in object space and not in camera space, ie: drag mouse to the left and camera orbits to the right, that is why this mode should really work inverted as it is right now. It's really what feels natural And I forgot to say, 2D spaces are wonderful, totally intuitive to navigate on images :) I hope we can get the same soon for node space and others!

Re: [Bf-committers] new dependencies for (spacenav / ndof / 3D mouse) support
This is probably a bit of a useless comment, but I remember the 2.4x implementation of orbiting the space navigator always seemed terribly awkward. That old way was inverted compared to the 3ds max plugin that came with the 3dconnexion driver, and the 3ds max version always felt much easier to navigate. So I haven't tried this implementation in blender 2.5 yet, but if it's the same as the 2.4x version, then I can totally see where Daniel is coming from. But yeah, an option for this would be best of course! cheers Matt On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 9:20 AM, Daniel Salazar - 3Developer.com zan...@gmail.com wrote: Well be sure to share some of that, maybe I'll suddenly get it :D Thanks for the option, will test and report back ASAP.

From the 3Dconnexion site? Toss them! Their Linux driver / API is ancient and doesn't fit well with extant devices. On Windows, their driver is pretty good but is not used by blender. It won't hurt to have it installed, if needed by other apps.

I don't have the package installed and Blender built just fine for me. However, I have a 3dconnexion device and would like to use it in blender without using their old/bad drivers. Do I have to do something special to enable the building blender to work with it? Thanks, -- Stephen M.
