Piston tutorial halting

Hey Kristofer,

thank's for the fast answer.
No, i'm not using fedora. I'm using the PcLinuxOs 2007 Distribution, you can download on the CAELinux homepage in package with the CAELinux allready installed.
Suse
But do you know, what's wrong because of this message:
"advanced parameters: error while getting information from the Code Aster Server"

Nice Weekend!

Sorry, I don't know what the error means. These solvers all run off of scripts that are all, apparently, in a directory somewhere. I've read a few other posts from people where the script was pointing to the incorrect directory.

I didn't have any trouble at all with the installed ISO (not vmware) copy of caelinux. In the end I missed gnome and decided to move on. I have the livecd on hand and, while it slow, it works for doing little meshes or tutorials.

Good luck...if you speak french there is more support available on other sites for Code Aster and Salome...

at first sorry for missspelling your name.

No i don't speak french.

And i also think, that the failure is in an wrong direction to wrong folder, library or something like that.

I'm also running no VM but the direct program.

Thank's for your answers!

I installed Salomemech 2008 on my fedora 9 laptop and it works great. I don't know if there was a something in the installation script that didn't like F8 or what...but it works now!

Hello,

I found a solution. In this case, the exceptions.KeyError is caused by a space in the file name.

With the liveCD, I used a USB drive for storage. It mounted to /media/USB MEDIA note the space. To fix it I did this process

Boot CAELinux LiveCD, when in KDE insert USB device. It asks to open in a folder, click yes. This mounts the device and sets the file permissions. Now do these commands on a terminal.

$ su -
# mkdir /media/USB_MEMORY/
# mount /dev/sdc1 /media/USB_MEMORY/
# ls -la /media/

drwxr-xr-x 7 caelinux root 16384 Dec 31 1969 USB MEMORY/
drwxr-xr-x 7 caelinux root 16384 Dec 31 1969 USB_MEMORY/

Note the permissions are the same.

Then opened the files from the new location with out the spaces, recomputed.

I'm not sure what a real fix would be, or how to submit a bug report. Should be easy enough to fix for some one who compiles the liveCD I'm sure.

Some gotchas, don't leave the USB device in when booting, it won't automount that way, and won't automatically set your permissions. Also when you insert the USB device it seems to mount in different locations each time, so you might not see the USB MEMORY.
