As I'm about to announce the availability of 1.1.1-beta1, I'm creating a discussion thread for it.

I get an error message when trying to install the ubuntu ppa using synaptic. I'll translate it to English:

E:/var/cache/apt/archives/makehuman-data_1.1.0~git20150707-1_all.deb: Trying to overwrite /usr/share/makehuman/data/eyebrows/eyebrow007.thumb which is also contained in makehuman-bodyparts 1.1.0+20170215143944-1ppa1

I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

It seems you have another version of MH installed (probably the one delivered by debian or ubuntu), and that it wasn't properly removed by the PPA script.

You should be able to do:

Code: Select all
apt-get remove --purge makehuman-data
apt-get remove --purge makehuman
apt-get install makehuman


Which would likely make things work as expected again.

But it's a good bug report. Obviously the PPA package should take this scenario into account.

I've created an issue for it here http://bugtracker.makehumancommunity.org/issues/1126

Don't think so. I use the development version of MH. I was sure makehuman-data was installed as a dependency, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I probably selected it manually. Anyway, it shouldn't be conflicting with makehuman.

This is just a short feedback. I'll have a closer look tomorrow when I've got more time.

If this is a really old linux installation, it's also possible you have debs from how we divided up the package before. I know I called one part makehuman-data then. But that was a while back.

Although the release notes state issue 1054 (the shader problem) is fixed, it's still there for me... :(
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 x64 with an on-board Intel card with i915 driver.

Oh, and there's someone spamming at the 1.1.1 announcement page http://www.makehumancommunity.org/frontpage/makehuman_111_beta_1.html ;)

Yes, that's correct. That bug is still open.

Thanks, I've removed the spammer.

It's not. I made a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 back in December after I bought a GTX1070 to speed up rendering. Bleeding edge nvidia drvers and Debian stable seemed to be too much manual work.

But I know what went wrong. To reproduce the error on an absolutely clean installation, I installed Ubuntu 16.04 in a virtual machine and did what your instructions told me. This works without error. If I additionally try to install makehuman-data I'll get the error.

makehuman-data should be marked as conflicting package.

Yes. That's the package from ubuntu. But a "Replaces" field will take care of that.

Btw, you only need to check "makehuman" to pull the basic build. It's a meta-package which pulls in the other recommended parts. For "-blendertools", "-docs" and "*-dev" you need to check them explicitly if you want them.

That's what I tried to suggest although I wouldn't have known how to actually do this. I'm not too familliar with creating DEB packages.

That's what I did the second time. The other installed packages you see in the screenshot were installed as dependencies. I guess I know why I at first thought that I might need makehuman-data: As a user of the development version of MH I'm used to having to download the assets separately. This would, of course, be a very bad idea for a package.
