Missing FusionLauncher.exe.ini after install

[arsenixprime]

I am getting an error after install that is blocking launch. "Configuration file FusionLauncher.exe.ini is missing or incomplete".

There is a note about this on the autodesk site: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Error-Configuration-file-Fusion-Launcher-exe-ini-is-missing-or-incomplete-when-launching-Fusion-360.html

They recommend "resetting" fusion360 using the service utility.

Any ideas?

Appreciate the work on this project!

I've encountered the same problem. Reinstalling the application didn't work, the same error reoccurred.

[lucaci32u4]

I am having the same issue. Edge also shows an error during installation like in !29. Reinstalling does not fix the issue.

Having the same issue as well. Ubuntu 23.10

FusionLauncher.exe.ini error as well as Edge errors during install. The contents of the FusionLauncher.exe.ini file are as follows

This is a place-holder file which is intended to be updated by the streamer.

I'll attempt troubleshooting when I can, but I wanted to add to the list of people experiencing the issue

[arsenixprime]

This issue is discussed here at length: https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/issues/408

The install is not completing and Fusion360.exe is being deleted during the installation. Apparently this is due to a "rebranding function" that renames all "Fusion 360" shortcuts to just "Fusion".

The poster made a hacky script that monitors the log and kills streamer.exe as soon as it starts this process, leaving the app still intact enough to run.

Trying to see if I can get that same technique to work.

[arsenixprime]

I managed I believe get the script to run but it doesn't appear to have worked. The damage seems like it was already done despite killing streamer.exe

[arsenixprime]

Its unclear what it is doing during this "renaming process" but something partway through is throwing an exception (OSError: [WinError -2147024809] Invalid parameter). I'm not finding anything looking around online for similar errors. I attached the log.

log.txt

It would be helpful if we could find a successful installation log file to compare.

[FirstForest20]

Same issue here. Fingers crossed for resolving it soon

[Thermionix]

fusion360 installer currently failing due to wine issue, I've pushed a merge request to winehq

[GerritVK]

Looks like this has been merged in. Are there changes to this repo needed to use the new version?

[Thermionix]

Just awaiting wine-9.8 release binaries

[stylesuxx]

Just a heads up: wine-9.8 binaries are available since yesterday if I understand correctly.

[Thermionix]

Updated repo, tested locally with Firefox, callback to adskidmgr-opener working

Ok, updated setup instructions whilst awaiting for global auto connection;

[johnnytolengo]

@Thermionix your recipe worked on my Ubuntu 22.04 with "apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel" Thanks!

[mrkrynmdsco]

Ok, updated setup instructions whilst awaiting for global auto connection;

$ sudo snap install --edge fusion360 --devmode

fusion360

hi, after signing in it does not seem to re-direct properly and cannot locate the app.

[Thermionix]

so the post-install script sets this up,

can you check the output of cat ~/.local/share/applications/adskidmgr-opener.desktop

e.g. mine:

$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/adskidmgr-opener.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=adskidmgr Scheme Handler
Exec=sh -c 'fusion360.wine "$(find /home/thermionix/snap/fusion360/common/.wine -name "AdskIdentityManager.exe" | head -1 | xargs -I '{}' echo {})" "%u"'
StartupNotify=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/adskidmgr;

The line xdg-mime default adskidmgr-opener.desktop x-scheme-handler/adskidmgr registers this as the default handler. This is the second area which may have not worked

[Thermionix]

and check output of xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/adskidmgr

$ xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/adskidmgr
adskidmgr-opener.desktop

[dotvezz]

I'm seeing the same behavior as @mrkrynmdsco after logging in on my browser (With the same browser, Firefox).

 > xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/adskidmgr
adskidmgr-opener.desktop
 > cat ~/.local/share/applications/adskidmgr-opener.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=adskidmgr Scheme Handler
Exec=sh -c 'fusion360.wine "$(find /home/ben/snap/fusion360/common/.wine -name "AdskIdentityManager.exe" | head -1 | xargs -I '{}' echo {})" "%u"'
StartupNotify=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/adskidmgr;

[Thermionix]

can you please try this & relaunch firefox:

update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/
XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/adskidmgr

[dotvezz]

Sadly no dice.

 > update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/
   XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/adskidmgr

Tried again and got the same behavior.

[Thermionix]

I can't remember what I did the first time the askidmgr scheme prompted, but I believe I clicked something along the lines of allow content type 'askidmgr' and now within firefox:

The issue maybe firefox ignoring ~/.config/mimeapps.list

[Thermionix]

From the ArchWiki - XDG_MIME_Applications - ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list is deprecated (which firefox is reading) and the solution is: $ ln -s ~/.config/mimeapps.list ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

[eruanno123]

I tried the solution with symbolic link and the redirection seems to work fine now.

Meanwhile, I see a lot of ERROR messages, that did not appear earlier.

ERROR: ld.so: object '/snap/fusion360/32/gnome-platform/$LIB/bindtextdomain.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

This seems to be not an issue though for running the application.

[stylesuxx]

Firefox does not not prompt me at all after login. Chrome does prompt me, but the redirect simply does nothing, even not after hitting retry or symlinking the files. Is there any way the URL can be passed manually without the whole redirect mechanic?

[smirgol]

For me the redirect was also not working. What did work in the end was copying the redirect link from the browser login and executing what the .desktop file is supposed to do manually in the shell:

fusion360.wine "/home/myuser/snap/fusion360/common/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/35a60349b112668a59dd7bbcc68b2622875103f4/Autodesk Identity Manager/AdskIdentityManager.exe" "adskidmgr:/login?code=asdasdfsdfsdfsfsfsfsdffsdfsdfsfd="

Obviously replace adskidmgr:/login?code=asdasdfsdfsdfsfsfsfsdffsdfsdfsfd= with the link from the login in the browser and fetch the correct path to AdskIdentManager.exe with: find ~/snap/fusion360/common/.wine -name "AdskIdentityManager.exe" | head -1 | xargs -I '{}' echo {}

[stylesuxx]

@smirgol - thank you, this actually did work! Unfortunately fusion itself is absolutely unusable. I guess I'll come back in a couple of years again and see if they could be bothered to roll out proper Linux support.

@Thermionix thank you for your hard work on this project.

[smirgol]

Yeah fusion itself is a mess, always has been. While it now starts for me, I cannot save projects nor export any meshes, which renders it useless (again). sighs

Edit: That apparently can be fixed with this: https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/issues/362#issuecomment-1889835832
