Hi Jim

I have a Centos 7 and Labview 2018 installed

I install VIPM, however I received the same error as Francesco. I'll try to install the LVRT engine, but I received the following errors (even if it is in italian, it is simpleto understand what happens...)

sudo ./INSTALL (or with su privileges, is the same...)

I appear to have a similar problem to that of Francesco and Dariush with initially starting VIPM for Linux.  I am using CentOS 7 in a VirtualBox VM.  I have LabVIEW 2018 SP1 installed and working and want to use VIPM to manage some of the add-ons that I want to use with LabVIEW.  The problem is, even though I am signed in as root, when I execute the recommended command to start the installation of VIPM I get the system response "sudo: unable to execute ./vipm: No such file or directory".  This seems to be indicating that I am missing some dependencies that would recognize the vipm file as an executable, but I haven't seen any comments here or anywhere else that provide the missing information I need to make this work.

Here's a screen snippet showing the directory contents and the terminal window showing the command and response I am receiving:

Any ideas how I can get vipm working here?  BTW, I am using the latest version of VIPM for Linux that I could find, extracted from the archive vipm-17.0.2018-linux.tar.gz.

Regards,

Bill

I was successful at getting this to work after following the directions that Jim posted in the previous message - I needed the 32 bit libraries for CentOS.

Having followed all of the above suggestions, I am still unable to open VIPM.  When I run the command "sudo ./vipm" I get an error "Unable to open X display".  I am using openSUSE 15.1, and trying to use VIPM 2017 with LabVIEW 2017.

Any suggestions on how to run this one down?

Thank you!

Hi David. I don't any ideas about how to get around that. Have you tried posting to the LabVIEW Linux Users group?

This may be due to the Wayland X server. If you are using Wayland, try switching to the Xorg X server and see if the command works.

All-

Thank you for your responses.  I will post the question on the NI LabVIEW Linux Users group, and I will also verify the X server that I am using, changing to Xorg if necessary.  I will post the updates here and in the NI user group.

On a side note, I switched the VM over to CentOS7, and I have been able to install and run VIPM using the above link to the additional packages.

First, I confirmed that the CentOS VM is using Xorg.

Using the openSUSE VM, I confirmed that the default x server is Xorg (echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE responds with x11).  I was unable to launch VIPM (unable to open x display).  Changing over to Wayland, I again received the same error message.

I will be posting this update over in the NI forums, in the Linux Users group.  Again, if anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate them.

I missed the part where you are using a VM for this. Are you accesing from a remote X session? If so, the root user will require some additoinal authorization to run GUI based applications in remote sessions.

Hello, I managed to install LV2020, and VIPM 2017 on Ubuntu 20.04. They both work well, but I am experiencing issues with the fonts in VIPM (some of the fonts are Chinese and they are very ugly).
LV2020 works well. I assume it is related to LV2015RTE.
Do you see the same in OpenSuse Leap 15.1?

Hi All,

We have just released a beta of VIPM 2022 for Linux (and Mac).

This is a 64-bit application (it uses the LabVIEW 2019 64-bit Runtime Engine) which greatly simplifies the installation process (since it doesn't require any 32-bit support libraries).

There is an announcement and download link here:

Please post in the VIPM 2022 for Mac and Linux beta forum and let us know how it works for you.

-Jim
