LTspice Install problem under linux

Business Kid
 

I can't install the latest update in linux. It certainly doesn't go in painlessly like the last one did, and may need shoehorning in. That's a pity, because I uninstalled the older version.

Is this a 'known issue?' (m$ speak for A BUG)? Where should I report it?
 

Hello,


I also had a problem to update LTspice on two WIN7 PCs the last week. When I clicked on Sync Release, it simply did nothing. It behaved like when another LTspice is open. I rebooted the PCs and then the update worked. Please try immediately after reboot.


Best regards,

Helmut

The way to report bugs (if it continues to be one) is via email to: "LTspice @ " (remove the spaces).

For you other LTspice users: from within LTspice, click on
? Help > About LTspiceIV
and it shows you the email address for bug reports and suggestions.

Hello,

I found the reason why LTspice didn't update in my case.

When you have opened the LTspice Yahoo group, your web browser window will have th title name "LTspice IV - Groups - Mozilla Firefox". LTspice checks the name of all windows and when it finds any window with "LTspice IV" in its name, it will not update. This link is an example which makes this case: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LTspice/info .? Mike told me that this check? is implemented since 15 years.

Best regards,

Thanks, guys.

Under linux, life is slightly different. Unless I am running an m$ program already, wine is always rebooted. There is this "wall" between 'windows' and linux and the idea of windows barfing over the title on a linux browser seems far fetched in this instance - wine has it's own IE. I will check.

There are also debug techniques for wine when something won't run and I can go down that route. Just trying to save myself bother.

I also gather that Linear are supporting linux with the windows LTspice also, so they should be interested in linux based misbehaviour.

Separately filing a bug report.

Well, I found I had a binary from? October, and that installed painlessly, so my issue is solved, until they ask me to try the new version on linux :-/.

Er, un-say all of that.
It objects strongly to not being on a hard drive. A usb key isn't good enough.
THAT was the problem. Add that snippet to the received wisdom around here and we'll carry on.

Actually, I don't know the developers, but my impression has been that WINE tries its best to merge the Windows window manager with the Linux window manager, so that linux and windows apps will cooperate nicely among each other. There are limitations of course, but it's believable to me that WINE may include linux programs in the list of open windows available to Windows programs.


I have never EVER gotten the LTSpice web update to work in Linux, in any distribution. It may have worked a long time ago, but I just download the new .exe when I want to update.

LTspice on Wine on Ubu 13.10 amd64.
So far, ive never had any upgrade difficulties.
I wish that every thing went so smoothly.

I wish that i had a clue to help you.

Hello keantoken,

> have never EVER gotten the LTSpice web update to work in Linux, in any distribution.

The web update of LTspice is working since many years and practically all Linux distributions with WINE.
I have updated LTspice many times with LINUX. The last time was a few weeks ago with Ubuntu.

It's always worked fine for me - various versions of Ubuntu and Mint

It's the sort of thing I wouldn't try, as that was a great way to clog up a registry with junk, and end up with random files on your drive. Windows has got less inefficient, but old habits die hard.
