[Doudz]

Unable to choose Drawing workbench or Raytracing workbench since their are missing in the dropdown menu.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 64bit and freecad 0.14.3702+dfsg-1

[Yorik van Havre (yorikvanhavre)]

These 2 modules are well included in the package, though. Any error message? Can you try to get a log file as described in http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ#OpenGL_drivers_are_not_installed.2C_or_not_working_properly ?

[Doudz (sebastien-ramage)]

There's no error message.
I ran gdb freecad :
sramage@japc09:~$ gdb freecad

Everything seems to be fine.

I also notice that StartPage workbench is missing too

[Doudz (sebastien-ramage)]

as describe here http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7942
it seems to be a problem with the package, isn't it ?

[Doudz (sebastien-ramage)]

I tried to install freecad 0.15 4514 from freecad daily PPA and the missing workbenches are back !

[Yorik van Havre (yorikvanhavre)]

Yes probably. We could try to debug this a bit further, if you can get a log file as asked above (start freecad from the terminal with "freecad -l" then get the $HOME/.FreeCAD/FreeCAD.log file).

[Doudz (sebastien-ramage)]

Please find attached the log generated with "freecad -l"

[Doudz (sebastien-ramage)]

Ok I think I understand the problem
as you can see here http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/amd64/freecad/filelist
the missing workbenches are in /usr/lib/freecad/data/Mod instead of /usr/lib/freecad/Mod

[Yorik van Havre (yorikvanhavre)]

Indeed that is exactly the problem. Apparently FreeCAD was wrongly repackaged from debian (Debian package does it right: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/freecad/filelist )

AFAIK these ubuntu packages which are devrived from debian are built automatically, so I don't know what can be done about it....

[Doudz (sebastien-ramage)]

If the problem is the Ubuntu packaging system, maybe you could fill another bug report somewhere ?

[Doudz (sebastien-ramage)]

Workaround :
sudo cp -R /usr/lib/freecad/data/* /usr/lib/freecad/

Ubuntu has no downstream modifications on FreeCAD. This bug was inherited from Debian, and the fix just hadn't arrived at the time Utopic was frozen and released. The fixed version in Debian is 0.14.3702+dfsg-2 (and above), both of which are in Ubuntu 15.04.
