Hi all.
I suspect this to be a relatively simple error on my part, but I don't know much about linux and googling hasn't helped me, so i'm a bit lost. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04, and now everytime i try and run the paraFoam command I get the following error : Code:

How did you install paraview?
Code:
sudo apt-get install paraview Code:
sudo apt-get install paraviewopenfoam3120 The only thing I had to do special was change the mirror it was accessing. OpenFOAM.org says to use: Code:
VERS=$(lsb_release -cs) sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu $VERS main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list" Code:
sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu precise main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openfoam.list" |

Thanks for the help! I don't quite have it working yet though. If anyone else is trying this, remember to type:
Code:
sudo apt-get update Code:
/opt/openfoam220/bin/paraFoam: 267: /opt/openfoam220/bin/paraFoam: paraview: not found |

With Ubuntu 13 and paraview 3.98.0, I get some crash with 3D mesh.
If someone wants a quick solution: 1) remove paraview 3.98.0 (exp1) 2) download the last paraview binary installer (3.98.1) : http://www.paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.php 3) extract everything to your home folder. 4) add an alias to your bash. At the end of the file, add something like Code:
alias para='/home/YourName/ParaView-3.98.1-Linux-64bit/bin/paraview' |

Hello all,
the solution is quite simple. The paraFoam is a script and you can run it with parameters. The paraFoam script file you can find in /opt/openfoam220/bin. Simply start the paraView application with paraFoam -builtin command and the application starts as before. Usage: ${0##*/} [OPTION] [PARAVIEW_OPTION] options: -block use blockMesh reader (uses .blockMesh extension) -builtin use VTK builtin OpenFOAM reader (uses .foam extension) -case <dir> specify alternative case directory, default is the cwd -region <name> specify alternative mesh region -touch only create the file (eg, .blockMesh, .OpenFOAM, etc) -touchAll create .blockMesh, .OpenFOAM files (and for all regions) -help print the usage I hope it will help you.

Hi Eduard,
the solution you have given is quiet simple. But as I'm a new user of OpenFOAM and don't have much idea of Ubuntu, couldn't understand your solution clearly. As you have paraFoam script file can be find in /opt/openfoam220/bin, what to after that? Could you please explain a little bit more? Thanks! Tariq

Hello Tariq,
Once you have paraView installed (use the installation manual on openFoam page) you normally start the application from terminal window using the command paraFoam (note: you must be in your solved task directory). Unfortunately, this does not work at Ubuntu 13.04. However, if you start the paraView by command "paraFoam -builtin", it starts the paraView and loads your calculated task. I hope it helps you now.
