Install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS from windows store and update Ubuntu envirment in **Ubuntu terminal**. `sudo apt-get update` `sudo apt-get upgrade` # Desktop GUI ## Step 1. Open **Ubuntu terminal** and install **X Server**. `sudo apt-get install x11-apps` ## Step 2. cd to home. `cd /home` build **`.bash_login`** in home. `nano ~/.bash_login` ```bash export DISPLAY=$(hostname).local:0 export WAYLAND_DISPLAY= startxfce4 ``` Press **Ctrl+x** then press **y** to save. After that, press **enter** to exit. ## Step 3. Install xfce4 desktop and reboot Ubuntu. `sudo apt-get install xfce4-terminal` `sudo apt-get install xfce4` `sudo reboot` ## Step 4. Back to **Windows** and open **VcXsrv**(XLaunch). Select **One large window** and set **Display number** to **0**. In the third page, selected **Disable access control**. ## Step 5. Turn on **X Server** in **Ubuntu terminal**. `startxfce4` # URSim ## Step 1. Download URSim 5.15.1 https://www.universal-robots.com/download/software-ur20ur30/simulator-linux/offline-simulator-e-series-and-ur20ur30-ur-sim-for-linux-5151/ ## Step 2. cd to the location of the file and extract it **`URSim_Linux-5.15.1.126626.tar.gz`** in. `cd ~` `tar xvzf URSim_Linux-5.15.1.126626.tar.gz` ## Step 3. Modify **`install.sh`** in **/ursim-5.15.1.126626**. line 85: `commonDependencies='libcurl3 libjava3d-* ttf-dejavu* fonts-ipafont fonts-baekmuk fonts-nanum fonts-arphic-uming fonts-arphic-ukai'` to `commonDependencies='libcurl4 libjava3d-* ttf-dejavu* fonts-ipafont fonts-baekmuk fonts-nanum fonts-arphic-uming fonts-arphic-ukai'` line 95: ` sudo bash -c "apt-get -y install lib32gcc1 lib32stdc++6 libc6-i386 $commonDependencies && (echo '$packages' | xargs dpkg -i --force-overwrite)"` to ` sudo bash -c "apt-get -y install lib32gcc-s1-amd64-cross lib32stdc++6 libc6-i386 $commonDependencies && (echo '$packages' | xargs dpkg -i --force-overwrite)"` ## Step 4. cd to **/ursim-5.15.1.126626/ursim-dependencies** and extract the archive data **libxmlrpc-c-ur_1.33.14_amd64.deb**. `ar x libxmlrpc-c-ur_1.33.14_amd64.deb` ## Step 5. Create new directory **/extras-control** and extract the control archive **`control.tar.gz`** there. `mkdir extras-control` `tar -C extras-control -zxf control.tar.gz` ## Step 6. Modify **`control`** in **/ursim-5.15.1.126626/ursim-dependencies/extras-control**. line 7: `Depends: lib32gcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), lib32stdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libc6-i386 (>= 2.3.4)` to `Depends: lib32gcc-s1-amd64-cross, lib32stdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libc6-i386 (>= 2.3.4)` ## Step 7. cd to **/ursim-5.15.1.126626/ursim-dependencies/extras-control** and pack it back up. After that, move it to the outer directory. `tar cfz control.tar.gz *` `mv control.tar.gz ..` ## Step 8. cd to **/ursim-5.15.1.126626/ursim-dependencies** and pack up the following files into a new archive data **`new_urtool3_amd64.deb`**. After that, remove **`libxmlrpc-c-ur_1.33.14_amd64.deb`**. `ar r new_urtool3_amd64.deb debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.gz` `rm libxmlrpc-c-ur_1.33.14_amd64.deb` ## Step 9. cd to **/ursim-5.15.1.126626** and run **`install.sh`**. `./install.sh` Activate the URSim. `./start-ursim.sh` # Exception If run **`install.sh`** failed, install the following lib and archive datas manually. ## Step 1. Install **`lib32gcc-s1-amd64-cross`**. `sudo apt-get install -y lib32gcc-s1-amd64-cross` Might get error here, enter the following command to install dependencies. `apt --fix-broken install` ## Step 2. install the archive datas in **/ursim-5.15.1.126626/ursim-dependencies**. `sudo dpkg -i new_urtool3_amd64.deb` `sudo dpkg -i libxmlrpc-c-dev-ur_1.33.14_amd64.deb` `sudo dpkg -i curl-dev-ur_7.18.2-1_amd64.deb` # Reference * https://hackmd.io/@JYU/B1zmv1MCU#GUI%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2%E9%85%8D%E7%BD%AE * https://askubuntu.com/questions/1446783/startxcfe4-with-vcxsrv-doesnt-work * https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/installing-ursim-on-ubuntu-22-04/23166/5 * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73895565/e-package-lib32gcc1-has-no-installation-candidate
