What exactly do you mean by unresponsive? Do the menus work? Can you type commands in the command line? And have you tried rebooting your computer after updating the system? Your computer might be in an inconsistent state.

comment:3 by mfschmid@…, 15 months ago

Thanks for getting back to me. Menus do not work. Cannot type on the command line. Clicking the X on the upper right of the window leads to a system prompt eventually that ChimeraX is not responding and  I can force quit.
I did try restarting the workstation. No change.

Very weird. Often weird bugs are related to the graphics driver. If you don't have the glxinfo program, install it with "sudo apt install mesa-utils" or have your computer's administrator install it. Then send me the out from running "glxinfo | grep OpenGL". And the output from "lspci | grep VGA". Please cut & paste the text, no screenshots please.

Ah ha. You are using the open source NVidia driver. It's slowly getting better, but doesn't work for ChimeraX. You need to install the propriety driver from NVidia. And as a result, your 3D graphics will be at least an order of magnitude faster. See the "Linux Graphics Drivers" section of common linux problems at https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/issues.html.

Greg is now on vacation until Thursday, so you might not get an immediate response on this.

comment:10 by Tom Goddard, 15 months ago

I think the last 3 times I tried to update Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu were a nightmare of these kinds of Ubuntu inconsistent dependency issues. It would always take me a few hours trying to get rid of every nvidia package and re-install, following web pages that describe exactly this problem.

comment:11 by mfschmid@…, 15 months ago

Hi-
Thanks, Tom. I am totally confused about what this problem really is, let alone finding the web pages that describe (and hopefully tell me how to fix) this problem. An old chimera-daily used to work, then I “upgraded” ubuntu, now ChimeraX doesn’t work.

Hi Mike,

There are countless web pages about how to fix broken Nvidia driver dependencies on Ubuntu. I googled for ubuntu nvidia driver dependency problems and here's an example of the voodoo they recommend

https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/ubuntu-and-nvidia-provided-packages-conflict-breaking-installation/259150

But I would get advise from Greg since he actually uses Linux and probably can give a more sane suggestion. This kind of nonsense is just par for the course with Linux in my experience.

Thanks, Tom. I’d sure appreciate advice from Greg; I have no business anywhere near a “developer” website!

Comment (by Tom Goddard):

 Hi Mike,

 There are countless web pages about how to fix broken Nvidia driver
 dependencies on Ubuntu.  I googled for ubuntu nvidia driver dependency
 problems and here's an example of the voodoo they recommend

 https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/ubuntu-and-nvidia-provided-packages-
 conflict-breaking-installation/259150

 But I would get advise from Greg since he actually uses Linux and probably
 can give a more sane suggestion.  This kind of nonsense is just par for
 the course with Linux in my experience.

   Tom

The advice on that web page to remove the nvidia packages, and then reinstall is good advice. Exactly how is the issue, and I only needed to do it once, and I don't remember what I did. But, the following looks good to me:

sudo apt purge "*nvidia*"
sudo apt purge "*cublas*" "cuda*"
sudo apt autoremove

Then reinstall the nvidia driver with "sudo ubuntu-drivers --gpgpu install".

If that doesn't work after rebooting, then you will need to get a console window with Alt-F2, login, and fix things. If you have local expertise in maintaining Linux systems, I'd recommend getting them to help. In the worst case, you'll need to completely reinstall Ubuntu.

Hi-
Thanks. Did this.
Now chimera, old chimerax daily build, and chimerax 1.8 all start and respond.
Terminal gives, when starting ChimeraX 1.8:
NOTE: available bundle cache has not been initialized yet
But starting the old ChimeraX-daily did not give this message.
Should I worry…?
THANKS!
Mike

Go ahead and report the error to Ubuntu. I believe Ubuntu 20.04 is still supported, but only until April 2025. So you should consider updating to 24.04. There have been lots of improvements.

The note about the available bundle cache at startup is normal. It is lazily initialized, and once it is, ChimeraX can tell you what bundle to install if an unknown command is given (instead of "unknown command").
