have sucesfully installed kicad 6.0 from void repo but not included default footprint library table. How to solve this?
You need to add those packages separately.
i have download all those pack but still cannot place a component
Just downloading won’t help.
You have to install those (or some) of them.
I’m running Linux Mint myself, which is based on Debian (Just like Ubuntu and some hundred + other Linux Distibutions) and uses apt as a package manager, and would use something like:
sudo apt install kicad-footprints
to install the footprint library. Presuming of course that the KiCad repository is installed correctly, then apt knows where to get the programs of parts of them and you do not have to download them first.
The package management in Linux is far superior to the garbage windoze uses for installing programs, but it has to be set up correctly for it to work properly. If you’re unfamiliar with this, then spend some time in learning how package managment works on your Linux distribution.
When I was used mint tricia, kicad 5 from repo it was ready to use pack.
