Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
Golia, you should install Java 8 to run the Editors. About Sweet Home 3D, what do you mean by "nothing"? Could you run SweetHome3D or SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2 in a Terminal and report what it displays?

Re: Doesn't launch anymore in Ubuntu 17.10
Sorry, my fault! Graphic card or video card is right what i asked for. You see, english is also a foreign language for me. Ok, it's what i expected, an AMD product (in my mashine there is a AMD RX580) and that's the problem. The radeon-drivers for linux are not yet finished so we have to use a very basic version for our video cards. You can fix some problems in the sweethome3d start script (/usr/share/sweethome3d/sweethome3d.sh). you have to open it with root-rights and modifie the JAVA_ARGS section. I think you can copy and paste mine:
About the Java-version: i'm running version 10 but that means, i have no access to any furniture library. I have to import every single furniture which i want to use. Ok, that's what i can do for you at the moment. For further improvements we have to wait for the new Radeon-drivers (a pre-release is already available) and for java10 support of sweethome3d.

@Emmanuel - Sweethome3D downloaded from here will not start on a system running Ubuntu 18.04 AND a recent AMD video card because of the unfinished radeon-drivers.

@ Golia - You can run FreeCAD in Ubuntu 18.04. Go to /home/.local/share/applications and open your FreeCAD starter with an Editor. Replace the Exec-entry with this one:
@Emmanuel - I don't know how long ago i opened SW3D in the terminal, but there semes to be some changes since then. I can now run SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2 in the terminal and SW3D is starting. WAHOOO it's awesome to get the libraries back!!!

but it does not work all right ... TexturesLibraryEditor everything is ok FurnitureLibraryEditor opens the file correctly, when I go to edit an element it closes. under the result from the terminal
