No such File Error

[AldoBertD]

Hello David,

I really appreciate your work. I am trying to download PrusaSlicer for a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with Raspbian. I've downloaded the full repository and ran ./build.sh in the terminal. Everything runs fine until it prompts me to choose between the full version, the minimum version, or both. When I execute any command at that point, it gives me the following message:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'AppImageBuilder-armhf-full-version_2.7.2.yml'

I tried changing the names of the yml files but I see that there is no improvement

Hey there @AldoBertD - that error is likely due to the dependencies being different than expected. I would suggest using the container build environments for consistency: https://github.com/davidk/PrusaSlicer-ARM.AppImage/tree/e24de209ff397566a17c6e5cdeb42dc757874b76/containers

If desired, the pre-built AppImages are here (these are the outputs of the container/k8s utilities): https://github.com/davidk/PrusaSlicer-ARM.AppImage/releases/tag/version_2.7.2

Didn't work as expected, i downloaded the AppImage from the page of prusa, but once y try to generate de gcode it simply closed the app with no message, did you manage to install and use correctly prusa slicer in the raspberry pi 4 model B 8 gb ram, cause i really need to download it in the raspberry.

There seems an issue related to the OpenGL version with the latest 2.7.2 release from PrusaSlicer. Please try the -opengl.AppImage files in: https://github.com/davidk/PrusaSlicer-ARM.AppImage/releases/tag/version_2.7.2 to see if it resolves the issue.

I have tested it under Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm 32-bit and I am able to load, slice and export g-code.

Still cannot dowload it correctly, is there any video of the process on how to download it with your ARM? i really needed it

[davidk]

There is no video walk-through and I don't recall if anyone has created one for this particular AppImage. I have attached an image of the installation process on Bookworm. The process is roughly:

$ sudo apt install libfuse2
$ dpkg --print-architecture 
$ chmod +x ./PrusaSlicer-version_2.7.2-minimal-armhf-opengl3.AppImage
$ ./PrusaSlicer-version_2.7.2-minimal-armhf-opengl3.AppImage

If that does not work, please provide some details about your system, the errors you are seeing, and I will see what I can do to replicate your issue.

Please also consider using Pi-Apps - they provide a more user-friendly way to use this AppImage too.

"Already I've done everything you mention, I downloaded Pi-Apps and ran all the mentioned command lines. However, I'm getting a 'Violacion de Segmento' message, which means 'segmentation fault' in English. It won't let me run it even using sudo beforehand, nor opening it in the same folder and running it."

It looks like the AppImage build is too new for OSes below Bookworm. Check with the following:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"

The way that PrusaSlicer was built, it should still work on Bullseye if the files are unpacked. Without upgrading the entire OS, the following should work:

$ ./PrusaSlicer-version_2.7.2-minimal-armhf-opengl3.AppImage --appimage-extract
$ cd squashfs-root/
$ MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.2 ./usr/bin/prusa-slicer

[AldoBertD]

I just download the new Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm 64-bit i just did the same process over again with all your recommendations. i used the aarch64 version and didnt work again, i can open the app but once i click sliced it closes with no info about it, i think your AppBuilder is optimized for 32-bit, let me know if you have test it with Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm 64-bit please

[davidk]

I am able to slice and export from a fresh installation using:

    7  sudo apt install -y libfuse2
    8  chmod +x ./PrusaSlicer-version_2.7.2-aarch64-opengl3.AppImage 
    9  ./PrusaSlicer-version_2.7.2-aarch64-opengl3.AppImage 

$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

If you see any error messages in the terminal, it would be helpful in pinpointing the direct cause

[AldoBertD]

I truly appreciate all the time you've dedicated to this matter. I was finally able to resolve the issue after installing the latest operating system multiple times on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. Ultimately, the error was traced back to the Spanish version. Once the English version was installed, PrusaSlicer ran correctly as mentioned in your last comment. I still don't understand why the language of the operating system would affect the use of the program. Once again, thank you very much for your help. I truly appreciate it.

Just tested it out again, its seems that also installing vnc-server also influences the use of the PrusaSlicer ARM, this vnc-server was the app i use to visualize the raspberry pi via Wifi on my computer.
