Eagle 6.3.0 on Xubuntu 12.10

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

I recently installed Eagle 6.3.0 (using the shell script on Cadsoft's Downloads page) on Xubuntu 12.10 and I'm seeing some problems when trying to draw a schematic or create a symbol, etc. Specifically, the "edit screen" doesn't seem to refresh correctly so I get some whited out areas and copied parts of the image. I've attached a screenshot to show what I mean.

 

Also note that I installed an older version of Eagle (5.12) through my package manager and the problem existed there as well. This, together with the fact that I have used Eagle on previous installations of Xubuntu (12.04) and have not had this issue leads me to believe that it is something on the Linux side. However, I asked on Xubuntu's IRC channel and another user of Eagle + Xubuntu 12.10 said they do not see the same issue.

    I too can confirm this is an issue with both Xubuntu 12.10 and Lubuntu 12.10.

     

    As others have said it is to do with the ATI proprietry driver. The Xorg driver works with eagle. However it does cause other issues on my systems (No video acceleration...).

     

    Giving Wine a go to try the windows version.

     

    Regards
