Missing Community Tab

I've downloaded 1.2.0 via the PPA but when I open Makehuman I don't have a Community tab, which should be next to the Help tab. Is this a bug or am I missing something? I'm using Linuxmint 19.
Thanks.

This should work. Maybe something is different in what Qt libs are available? I'm not familiar with linux mint versions, but Qt needs to be at least 5.9.5 and PyQt 5.10. These are the versions available in ubuntu 18.04.

Can you try starting up makehuman again, then immediately close it, and then post the makehuman.log file found in ~/makehuman/v1py3 ?

Also, can you post the output of:

Code: Select all
dpkg -l | grep -i makehuman


and finally, can you post the output of:

Code: Select all
ls -l /usr/share/makehuman-community/plugins

Thanks for your quick response Joepal. It looks as if the dependences are at fault so that's what I look at first before posting anything else

I've checked my system and am now confident that the dependencies are OK. I've attached the 3 outputs so hopefully you can come up with a solution. Thanks

It would seem mint handles "recommends" and "suggests" type dependencies in a different way than ubuntu. What has happened here is that the appropriate packages simply haven't been installed.

To fix, run:

Code: Select all
apt-get install makehuman-community-plugins-assetdownloader makehuman-community-plugins-socket mhx2-makehuman-exchange


To get a list of other packages that might be interesting, run:

Code: Select all
apt-cache search makehuman-community

attached are the results of apt-cache plus details from synaptic package manager of installed dependencies. Thanks once again for spending your time to help me out.
