[Gfs-users] Install gfsview on Ubuntu12

[Pei Shui]

Hi everyone:

Recently I am trying to install gerris on Ubuntu12, the gerris works
well but evertime I start gfsview(either 2D or 3D), it will corrupt
and reports a floating exception error.

Does anyone know any issue about this?

cheers

Pei

This is probably the same bug in Ubuntu which was discussed here:

https://groups.google.com/group/gerris-users/browse_thread/thread/5809336ae4c26e95/afe74a8ab81f9a8f?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=libmurrine#afe74a8ab81f9a8f

You should report the bug to Ubuntu. Note that I don't think that the
workaround mentioned above (login into a "classic" session) will be
possible in Ubuntu 12 as I think they have removed the "classic" style
entirely.

cheers

PS: I would recommend to stay clear of Ubuntu. The robustness and
stability of their system has been continually degrading since they
have focused on "prettiness" rather than functionality. Furthermore,
they are pursuing an increasingly commercial model which could be
damaging for the future of linux, see e.g.

Use Debian instead.

HI Stephane:

Thank you for the reply, I hope it works.
There is still a way to have gnome classic interface under Ubuntu12

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
