Schematic Libraries 5.0.2 problem

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 3:25am

Hi guys!

I use KiCad for 3+ years on Linux, everything was alright, till I’ve moved to ver.5+. Does not matter, what environment is set up (even edit by hand the configuration), purged/restored reinstalled, did whatever you can imagine, At start-up, pointing to schematic - boom … no library found, no devices, no transistors, so on aroud 49, or so; shorter, NOTHING. I’m on Ubuntu 18.04,64 bits, ppa ppa.launchpad.net/js-reynaud/kicad-5/ubuntu bionic. any suggestion, points??? Thanks!
PS. I forgot. The libraries are in place, where these are expected to be, the environment variables are set correctly.

I can strace you with kacad system calls, but it is pretty large text file ~3.6 Mbytes!

paulvdh · March 6, 2019, 3:45am

If you type (in a terminal window):

apt search kicad

Is kicad-symbols installed?

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 4:15am

Yes. As I’ve informed, all the libraries/symbols are in right place. In my case these are in /usr/share/kicad/library/

Seth_h · March 6, 2019, 4:19am

What is the content of $HOME/.config/kicad/sym-lib-table?

edit: This will tell you what it is currently. This might be academically interesting. If you’d like to get back to the defaults, you can always delete it and KiCad will offer to install the default when you start.

output [code]

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 4:24am

The cofig file is surely exist. The output is long enough, so I’ll give you few lines of it:

[code]
(sym_lib_table
(lib (name 4xxx)(type Legacy)(uri ${KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR}/4xxx.lib)(options “”)(descr “4xxx series symbols”))
(lib (name 4xxx_IEEE)(type Legacy)(uri ${KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR}/4xxx_IEEE.lib)(options “”)(descr “4xxx series IEEE symbols”))
(lib (name 74xGxx)(type Legacy)(uri ${KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR}/74xGxx.lib)(options “”)(descr “74xGxx symbols”))

[code]

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 4:25am

[code] isn’t recognized here?

Seth_h · March 6, 2019, 4:27am

And in $HOME/.config/kicad/kicad_common what is the value of KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR?

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 4:31am

output of

grep KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR $HOME/.config/kicad/kicad_common

KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR=/usr/share/kicad/library

Seth_h · March 6, 2019, 4:34am

OK, so does the file /usr/share/kicad/library/4xxx.lib exist?

If it does, you’ll need to post a screenshot of the error you are getting.

As you can see … it is exist

Seth_h · March 6, 2019, 4:37am

OK. So can you post a screenshot of the error?

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 4:38am

I’ve tried to move file names to lower case, to upper, returned back, no luck ;o(((

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 4:39am

Just a sec… I’m on the phone…

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 4:42am

Hmm, how do I share the screenshot?

Seth_h · March 6, 2019, 4:44am

There’s an upload button above where you are posting. Looks like a floor with an arrow pointing up. You are a basic user, so you get to post multiple images.

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 4:46am

Wait a sec … I’ve lost the sreenshot… making a new one ))))

ossdevel · March 6, 2019, 4:51am

Don’t understand why I need to post multiple images… however, here it is
