Greetings honvu and welcome to the forum!

Two questions:

1. Which Ubuntu version are you using?
2. Which installation instructions did you follow for installing OpenFOAM 2.1.0?

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks Bruno.
I using Ubuntu 11.10 and installed OpenFOAM 2.1.0. When i remove OpenFOAM 2.1.0 and installed OpenFOAM 2.2.0 result the same. :confused:

Hi honvu,

I think that the messages that start with:
can be ignored. If you don't see ParaView window appear, then look at the bar on the left with all of the icons and check if there are any new icons there (I'm assuming you have the default Ubuntu interface).

As for the problem with OpenFOAM not working when you start a new terminal, that is because you probably did not add the following line to the file "~/.bashrc":
This is explained in the section "User Configuration" of the official "Ubuntu Deb Pack Installation" guide: http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php

If you have more than one line inside the file "~/.bashrc" that is related to OpenFOAM, then you should comment out the other versions, at least until you are more familiar with OpenFOAM and how it works. ;)

Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks Bruno.
I installed successful OpenFOAM for your help.
