PTGui 12 for Linux!

[PTGui Support]

For years I have been asked when PTGui will run natively on Linux, and
now is the time! PTGui 12 will be available on Mac, Windows and Linux.
The linux version is fully functional. Even OpenCL GPU acceleration is
supported.

PTGui is closed source so it is distributed in binary form.
Unfortunately, compared to Windows and macOS, binary applications are
not as portable on Linux. In particular, a recent Linux distribution is
required, because PTGui was built against a recent libc version.

I've tested it to run on Ubuntu 20 and Fedora 31, but I expect that it
should be possible to run it on any system on which gcc 9.3 or later is
available. I'm looking into distributing a Flatpak or AppImage, which
should make it compatible with more linux distributions, but I assume
OpenCL will be unavailable in these containerized environments. For now
PTGui is available in raw binary form.

To get PTGui for linux, go to
https://www.ptgui.com/beta.html#updates
and scroll down to the download link at the bottom. The full version
requires a license purchased after August 2018. But a trial version is
available too.

On Fedora 31 these packages need to be installed:
sudo dnf install ocl-icd libglvnd-opengl

On Ubuntu 20:
sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1

And of course a graphical desktop environment (with gtk3 libraries)
should be available.

On other linux versions, first check the available gcc version:
gcc --version
this should be gcc 9.3 or later. PTGui doesn't actually use gcc, but an
older gcc version means that the libc libraries will be too old.

Feedback is welcome! Please reply to this message to keep all
information in one place.

I forgot to mention, it's currently x86_64 only. Arm CPUs are not supported.

OMG, yes!

I've run Linux on my desktop since 1994, but now that I got into stitching gigapixel panos for VR, I basically switched to Windows for PTGui and WebVR support.

Damn, now all I need is Firefox to support the Valve Index on Linux! Or maybe I just need one of the better "mobile" VR headsets that are supposed to be coming out (XR2), hmm...

Anyhow, yeah, this is great!

See:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the download link.

You will need Linux mint 20 though (which is based on Ubuntu 20).

Joost @Joost

 we need a  ptgui-icon when you greate a starter in Linux mint 20

 

[Albert Szostkiewicz]

OMG! I almost missed this FANTASTIC news!

I am super excited as finally we will be able to use your software professionally in VFX studios! Hurray!

I am testing it currently on Fedora 32 at home, so far so good, no issues. Most VFX studios run CentOS so it should be fine as well.

I will start digging into possibilities of scripting your software in order to integrate it into pipeline (not sure yet how open it is, but that would be my next crucial step)

Let us know when you have new releases, happy to help testing!

Cheers!

[Niklas Hambüchen]

This is totally awesome, we'll definitely buy the upgrade to PTGui 12. This makes my life so much better.

I also finally have a universal solution to recommend to our customers that's better than "well but you need to use a Windows VM".

I just tried your Linux version and it works great out of the box, good job.

I also just packaged it for nixpkgs, and it was very easy; even OpenCL works out of the box.

In case you're not familiar with the Nix ecosystem, it's a package manager (nix), a repository of almost all open-source software packaged that way (nixpkgs), and a Linux distribution built on top of that (NixOS).

Beyond making PTGui run on NixOS, it also makes it easy to run on any Linux distro by installing nix (https://nixos.org/download.html). For example, I can run the Nix PTGui package on Ubuntu 16.04, because nixpkgs provides the recent library versions you require.

Here's the package description I created for the PTGui trial version, it has instructions at the top:

https://gist.github.com/nh2/5d35a0a85948882baf992b6512290461

I will probably also upstream it into nixpkgs itself, which means any Linux user with Nix installed will be able to do `nix-env -i ptgui` to install it (after setting a flag that they want to allow the use of proprietary software).

Thanks again, and great job!

[PTGui Support]

Hi Niklas,

Good to hear that!
I'm afraid the nix package will not work though, the download URL is
dynamic and only the latest trial version will be available at any time.

Kind regards,

Ah OK, thanks for clarifying Joost, I wasn't quite sure if it was stable.

In any case, one can also set `src = "/path/to/extracted/ptgui-trial.tar.gz";` instead locally.

Linux support is great news for those of us using PTGui in the VFX industry.  Unfortunately we're not able to run it yet due to glibc version support.  Most of us in the VFX industry run CentOS 7.  There is an initiative to help software vendors target our industry - https://vfxplatform.com/.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the pointer. Looks like PTGui will be compatible with CY2021.

[Jon Stanley]

Thanks for the reply Joost.  It looks like it'll be compatible with CY2021 from a gcc perspective but glibc remains 2.17 next year.  I'd be happy to be corrected but I don't think PTGui will be glibc 2.17 compatible.

Thanks,

Jon

You may be right, I will have to check that.

Exciting that there is Linux support!

My company and all of our clients are in the same boat as Jon following the VFX Reference Platform.

We have a couple of clients that want to buy licenses but are blocked by the glib version on the linux version.

Fingers crossed to see if a new beta release will lower the glib version.

Thanks

-Alex

[PTGui Support]

I'm aware of this but I'm not sure if it can be solved. Building PTGui
requires certain c++ features, requiring a certain compiler version,
requiring a certain libc version. Static linking is discouraged on Linux
and not permitted by the LGPL.

Perhaps packaging a newer libc in an AppDir might work
https://docs.appimage.org/reference/appdir.html
but this is something I still need to investigate.

Hi Joost,

I'm developing a web application dealing with panos which are currently stitched with PTGui on a local Windows machine and then uploaded to the server. It could be a real improvement to the workflow if the stitching gets done on the server instead. It's a Debian 10 AMD64 system. It would be sufficient to perform 'scripted' stitching, without any UI, triggered by a PHP script. Will your Linux version of PTGui support this?

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Karl

[PTGui Support]

Hi Karl,

You can run the batch stitcher from the command line, see 6.32:

Thank you Joost!

I'm assuming the command line syntax is the same on Windows and Linux
systems. It's good to know you're supporting this, and I can throw this
option into the discussion with my customer.

Hey Joost,

since I work on static linking on Linux stuff for open source projects in my free time, maybe the following points are useful:

> I'm aware of this but I'm not sure if it can be solved. Building PTGui requires certain c++ features, requiring a certain compiler version, requiring a certain libc version. Static linking is discouraged on Linux and not permitted by the LGPL.

Static linking is not discouraged on Linux; there are major programming language and Linux distributions ecosystems that embrace static linking on Linux, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3430400/linux-static-linking-is-dead/56771892#56771892.

The LGPL does permit you to distribute statically linked binaries, as long as you allow swapping out the LGPL components. For example it is allowed to distribute a statically linked ptgui binary if you also ship a closed-source ptgui.o so that people can re-link it against their version of libc/gtk/whatever. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#LGPLStaticVsDynamic

Now of course it will depend on PTGui's build system whether that's feasible/convenient.

Cheers!

The PTGui for Linux beta is distributed as .tar.gz file containing the
PTGui application binary and the necessary supporting files. A package
or installer is not provided.

A .tar.gz file is just an archive similar to a .zip file.

To unpack it, open a terminal and do:

cd $HOME
mkdir ptgui12
cd ptgui12
tar xvfz /xxxx/yyyy/PTGui_Pro_12_beta_14_trial.tar.gz

(replace /xxxx/yyyy with the actual directory where the archive is stored)

Now there's a 'ptgui12' folder in your home directory, containing the
PTGui application.

PTGui requires GTK3 but this should be installed with your Ubuntu
desktop installation by default. It also requires opencl-icd which you
have to install manually:

sudo apt install ocl-icd

Now you should be able to run PTGui by typing:

$HOME/ptgui12/PTGui

[alan.z...@gmail.com]

Apologies for in advance for my Linux incompetence, but I would really like to try the Linux Beta of PTGui.

Despite Joost's helpful reply I don't make progress.

In terminal (with my comments)

cd $HOME (fine)
mkdir ptgui12 (fine)

cd ptgui12  (fine)
tar xvfz /xxxx/yyyy/PTGui_Pro_12_beta_14_trial.tar.gz  (answer: tar: Old option 'f' requires an argument. try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information) (typing 'tar --help' provided several sides of command dictionary that I don't know how to apply to the situation at hand).

I then tried to install opencl-icd. After the command I get

Reading package files... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information.... Done

E: Unable to locate package ocl-icd

Thanks in advance for any thoughts,

Alan

[PTGui Support]

Hi Alan,

I don't have a ubuntu machine at hand right now, but I think

tar xvfz <filename>

should work. Be sure to fill the correct file name above.

As for ocl-icd, could you try this:

sudo apt install mesa-opencl-icd

Kind regards,

Thank you Joost,

For ocl-icd, success with:

sudo apt install mesa-opencl-icd

For the tar 'unpacking', no progress. After trying

tar xvfz <filename>

in terminal, I get: bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'

I'm not in a hurry, and am happy with one step closer.

Hi Alan,

What I meant is to replace <filename> with the actual file name and path
of the downloaded .tar.gz file. For example (but don't type this literally):

tar xvfz /home/alan/Downloads/PTGui_Pro_12_beta_14_trial.tar.gz

Keep in mind that Linux filesystems are case sensitive (p and P are
different characters).

Thank you for your patience, but I'm still unable to complete the decisive step.

Incidentally, when I saw that I was having difficulties with the command line route, I looked for Linux 'Package Managers', and came across 'Apper'. Coincidentally, I wanted to install the programme 'RawTherapee', on my new Ubuntu set up. RawTherapee provides a 'source code' download ( https://rawtherapee.com/shared/source/rawtherapee-5.8.tar.xz ) which 'Apper' opened and installed. When I tried the same with the tar.gz for PTGui, it didn't work. I don't know what the reasons for the two outcomes are, but would it be feasible to provide something which 'Apper' can open and install? For those that are having difficulties with the command line, it would save time having to answer their questions.

Hi Alan,

Perhaps some kind of package will be provided in the future. Some basic
command line knowledge is probably needed when running linux, even when
running a graphical desktop.

Could you post a screenshot or a capture of your command line session?
We can probably see what goes wrong. It should be as simple as typing
tar xvfz followed by the file name. Nothing else.

Kind regards,

Check this Video on installing Pano 2VR on Linux mint https://vimeo.com/156805727

we installed PTGUI in the same manner on LinuxMint 20 and it works nicely

Thomas Rauser do not create .Deb for Pano 2VR to this have a learning curve 

in Mint you can easily create a starter as shown in the video

but on a plain Ubuntu it is a little more complicated

Installing Pano2VR5  on Linux Mint 17.3 "Rosa" Cinnamon Edition
Visit  https://ggnome.com/ for more information
the program can create virtual tours and interactive 360º panoramas.
from your Ricoh THETA S Equirectangular images
and Equirectangular images striched with PTGui or Hugin - Panorama photo stitcher

NOTE!
On Ubuntu later versions you have to run command:

Code:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
followed by this command:

Code:
sudo gnome-desktop-item-edit /usr/share/applications/ --create-new

in the terminal to be able to create a starter in the launcher

NOTE:
FFmpeg has been removed from Ubuntu 14.04 and was replaced by Libav. This decision has been reversed so that FFmpeg is available now in Ubuntu 15.04 again, but there is still no official package for 14.04.  how to install FFmpeg from mc3man ppa. Add the mc3man ppa:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

And confirm the following message by pressing Enter

Also note that with apt-get a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is needed for initial setup & with some package upgrades
More info: https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/trusty-media

Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it

Update the package list.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Now FFmpeg is available to be installed with apt:
Code:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

The ffmpeg file Path are: /usr/bin/ffmpeg

Kudos and thanks to Svend 👍👏 who managed to get me over the line with his little clip.

I now have a working version of the PTGui Beta on Linux Mint 20 (which I installed next to Ubuntu).

Still a few details to figure out: the app icon is on the desktop rather than where the other apps sit, but a first stitch worked.

I would still like to try on Ubuntu, but for the moment I just lest it (and me) rest.
