[solved] error starting qcadcam

Post by jamby » Sun Aug 16, 2020 10:14 pm

Hi

I have qcadcam-3.18.1-pro-linux-x86_64 on a computer in the shop running centos 7 and while it worked last summer this year its fails to start up when I cd to opt/qcadcam-3.18.1-pro-linux-x86_64 and run the command ./qcad.
The error is below.
: '', groupName: Help, filePath: scripts/Help/BrowseUserManual/BrowseUserManual.js),AddOn(actionText: '', groupName: Help, filePath: scripts/Help/CheckForUpdates/CheckForUpdates.js),AddOn(actionText: '', groupName: Help, filePath: scripts/Help/FAQ/FAQ.js),AddOn(actionText: '', groupName: Help, filePath: scripts/Help/Forum/Forum.js),AddOn(actionText: '', groupName: Help, filePath: scripts/Help/ReportBug/ReportBug.js),AddOn(actionText: '', groupName: Help, filePath: scripts/Help/ReportTranslationError/ReportTranslationError.js),AddOn(actionText: '', groupName: Help, filePath: scripts/Help/ShowReadme/ShowReadme.js),AddOn(actionText: '', groupName: Help, filePath: scripts/Help/Website/Website.js), splash = QSplashScreen) at scripts/autostart.js:385\nmain() at scripts/autostart.js:664\n<global>() at scripts/autostart.js:782"
14:10:07: Debug: "<global>() at 107"

QCAD has failed to start.

Please use the offscreen platform plugin for headless systems
(without a running X11 server):
./qcad -platform offscreen

In addition, you might have to override the default Qt style
to prevent the loading of a native desktop style (such as GTK):
./qcad -style plastique

Anyone? I have no idea where to even start on this
Thanks
Jim

Thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately it didn't change the problem. So I reinstalled and copied over the templates and post processors so now its running fine.

Thanks again
Jim
