OpenFOAM Installation Problem for a username with white space #194

Closed amirtabadkani closed 7 years ago

amirtabadkani commented 7 years ago

Hi @mostaphaRoudsari @TheodoreGalanos ,

I have stuck in the OF installation process while I reinstalled it around 10 times and reading all the possible issues here or on the grasshopper3d website ,, but still I can not run the simulation with the latest version of butterfly V3..

I noticed whenever I run Of-Start whether as administrator or not, it gives an error that the default machine has stopped .. Even at end of the OF installation when it runs the power-shell window , It says the ''default'' has stopped .. (I put the related images ) .. and also there is sth wrong with of_v1612plus-centos66 container that can not be created ..

I really appreciate if you help me with this ,, it took me so much time ...

Thanks ... 00 11 213

I hope @thinklikeanarchitect can help you with this. He knows much more about the installation issues.

Have you followed the instructions that I wrote for installation on Windows 10 ?

Whenever you re install everything, make sure to uninstall all applications before, boot2docker as well.

Hi @thinklikeanarchitect ,

Thanks for your reply.. Yes I have done all the steps but still no changes .. and I get this error in Grasshopper Canvas and while I try to run virtualbox I get the other error .. I ve seen these errors in other issues that others have posted but I couldnt solve mine ,..

Hi @DambronOlivier Yes I have uninstalled all the parts related to OF and docker toolbox each time I reinstall it ..

I see that your username has whitespaces (win 8.1). That might be an issue: #176 we've encountered before

Best regards Mikki

amirtabadkani commented 7 years ago

Thanks @MikkiSeidenschnur ,, Do you know an easy way to change the user name in C drive ? I searched for it ,, it seems difficult..

mostaphaRoudsari commented 7 years ago

@amirtabadkani what about creating a new user?

MikkiSeidenschnur commented 7 years ago

@amirtabadkani I found this thread online that describes how to change it. However, I had to reinstall the system anyway, so I just created the user upon the windows 10 reinstall

amirtabadkani commented 7 years ago

@MikkiSeidenschnur The whitespace was the problem .. I really appreciate your help ; however it seems a bit weired , only this small gap makes a huge issue in installation ..

I again thanks all who particpicated in this issue and I will close it ..

TheodoreGalanos commented 7 years ago

@amirtabadkani Glad you resolved the issue! OpenFOAM is terribly allergic to empty spaces, in the future make sure that your folders also do not include an empty space. After a while, it's almost a routine to name them so don't worry :)

Regards, Theodore.

We should add this somewhere to the installation instructions!
