Which I did, but amanda was about to run before I figured out where to 
start, couldn't un-ghost the circle tool's.

I did import the gear module which is suppposed to do timing pulleys.  
Was gonna log into the forum & get some beginners directions but they 
didn't like my nick or something so I never got post rights. Did I
mention I hate forums?

Then amanda chose tonight to screw things up so I've been up since 3 
collecting data for folks to troubleshoot it with. So at 05:30 I'm 
headed back to the sack.

Thank you Nicklas.

Re: [Emc-users] updating freecad appimage?

[Linden]

There is a ppa for the daily build of freecad. I have been using that for a few 
years now. It seems pretty stable for the most part and any bugs i have come 
across have been delt with or a work around found in a day or two.

Which gets you the 3 yo .18 version, and not built as an appimage.  And 
that's had around 300 megs of additional code committed since then and 
has been made a/o v.18 that you can get from freecad, into an AppImage 
that is totally self contained and has never crashed. The current dl of 
that appimage which is assembled when you request the dl, is running 
right now and has been for around 3.5 hours now. If it crashes, then I'd 
submit that the user didn't install it correctly.  I put AppImages like 
it and cura, in their own AppImages subdir of /home/me and have only had 
one cura-4.7.1 crash, which has not repeated after using its updater to 
bring it up to 4.8.0. 4.7.1 was the crasher and it lasted less than a 
week before 4.8.0 was released.

Yes, AppImages are bulky, but they are entirely self contained for ALL 
dependencies.  If you've the drive space, its the way to go.

I also have DeskProtoCAD as an appimage, but it will be wiped at some 
point, they want it to be paid for before it will run. Screw that, I am 
not that impressed that I'll buy that pig in a poke sight unseen. 
Particularly since its appimage is less than 10% of the freecad 
appimage.  That boat sailed a long time ago.

Thanks, Have a better 2021 Chris, & stay well.

Re: [Emc-users] updating freecad appimage?

[Chris Albertson]

You are using the "Alpha" version and complaining of problems?  There are
new problems every week.  I just checked the "known problems" list and #1
is "crashes on startup".

To install the stable version it is simply "sudo apt-get install freecad"

I killed it, tried the update again. this time it hung at 87%, kill t, 
wiped it and downloaded the alpha 19 again. Now I have questions to ask 
the forum, but they don't like my nickname.

[Emc-users] updating freecad appimage?

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;

Its been about 3 months since I last tried to run the freecad-19 appimage 
and the first thing i wanted to do was about 800 patches since the last 
update.

But the progress bar has been stuck at 94% for about 50 minutes now, 
while I see an occasional write to the main drive, and it bounces around 
at about a 2% cpu max in the htop view, it doesn't seem to be making any 
more progress.

Has this been observed by other freedcad users?  Or should I just wait it 
out?

I'm thinking its time to kill it, nuke the appimages in that directory 
and download the whole thing fresh.  I don't have anything precious in 
its cache.

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
