CAElinux self- installation on Linux UBUNTU 10.04 (32bit)

I'm still waiting for help

Hello Chris,

Let's start with some basic trouble shooting:

1) What graphics card do you have on your PC (nVidia, ATI, etc) and model?

2) Which version of the graphics driver have you installed for this card? Some older cards/drivers do cause problems and will not work with Salome and sometimes newer drivers are unavailable for those older cards.

3) Does glxgears work properly and what frame rate do you get? Is it a rate that one would expect to get from your video card? For example my video card GeForce 8800 GTS delivers approximately 16200 FPS (frames per second). The glxgears test can tell us if your graphics driver is working correctly.

Maybe I can help after you can provide this info.

Regards,
JMB

Hi again guys and thanks for reply of course.
Unfortunately work on VBox has one big minus - i can't install graphic card
I think they are some packages in CAElinux2007 (i hope it isn't secret of Administrator, and he can help with it ) which help work Salome-Meca. Salome on CAElinux 2007 works really good even on VBox.
Because Salome 3.2 worsk fine on PClinuxOS, i downloaded end installed new PClinuxOS (KDE - i hate KDE desktops ) on VBox and i install Salome with Code_Aster from: www.code-aster.org/V2/spip.php?article303. It isn't works perfectly bot better than on new UBUNTU - don't know why.
Maybe someday someone write why it's happening, but now: How can i finish "piston" tutorial? I had stick after exporting MED file like in this case

with
Code_Aster from:

Combination works fine (meshing too - Prt Scr: 2.png - "ZIP" file) but i don't know what i have to do after export geometry to "MED" file. i can't find "CreateJob.py" to create "New-FE-Study" (as it was in CAElinux2007).

Hi Joël,
Thanks for interesting and help
I done some test with "glxgears" on my guest systems. Unfortunately i don't know how to do the same test on host system (XP).
I have graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I think it has 3D acceleration. Card is old but on my host (XP) works fine.
Below test's results. In all cases i have set guest graphic like: (display settings.png - "zip" file), system were updated and "Guest Additions" were installed.

~14x faster than other cases. I don't know what you done and how you done with "CAElinux2007" but it's perfect, graphic works really fine with it even on virtual system. Maybe you have any suggestions to my case? What do you mean with "library version incompatibilities" ? - I'm not so good with linux:blush:

Chris
P.S. Sorry for my poor English:blush:
