Hi, i tried to add the PPA for Makehuman on Linux, but here's what my Linux Mint 19 says:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makehuman-official/makehuman-11x
HTTP Error 404: Not Found
PPA kann nicht hinzugefügt werden: »'Dieses PPA unterstützt bionic nicht'«.

The last line is german and says: PPA can't be added: "This PPA dooesn't support bionic".

Maybe this is a known issue? I couldn't find a search result here. Thanks in advance.

This ppa probably doesn't exist anymore.

You're suggesting Alpha 1.2. That's not what grinsegold is looking for.

I didn't know, we ever had a 1.1.X build for Bionic (though I might be wrong here). If you want to use the PPA for Bionic, you'll have to use the development version, otherwise run from source code. That shouldn't be a big deal on Linux.

It's a known issue. The message is correct: The 11x PPA exists, but doesn't support Bionic, as the build there doesn't work with the numpy in Bionic.

Your options are to run MakeHuman from source, see http://www.makehumancommunity.org/wiki/ ... _source%3F, or to give the 12x PPA a try.

I did that, but now i can't find a makehuman button anywhere in my start menu. How do i start makehuman? Also i have error messages after doing the step that's recommended for Mint-users:
"sudo apt-get install makehuman-community-plugins-socket makehuman-community-plugins-assetdownloader mhx2-makehuman-exchange
Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.
Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
E: Paket makehuman-community-plugins-socket kann nicht gefunden werden.
E: Paket makehuman-community-plugins-assetdownloader kann nicht gefunden werden.
E: Paket mhx2-makehuman-exchange kann nicht gefunden werden."

In the last 3 lines it tells me that ...-socket, ...-assetdownloader and mhx2-makehuman-exchange can't be found. Sorry if these are stupid questions.

Hm, it looks as if something is wrong here. Can you run the following and paste the output here?

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search makehuman

Looks fine to me. Only thing I can think of is you didn't run "apt-get update" before trying to install the packages. Can you try again and see if it works now?
