Hi I can’t open Slicer on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bits : Linux 4.13.0-38-generic #43~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP I tried 2 releases : 1- “Slicer-4.9.0-2018-04-25-linux-amd64” and " , I got this error : error: Failed to obtain launcher executable name ! 2- Slicer-4.0.0-linux-amd64/ ; got the following error : …

Try deleting the Slicer folder setting in your home(rename it if you still need it) rm -rf ~/.config/NA-MIC Or mv ~/.config/NA-MIC ~/.config/SlicerBK Then run Slicer again.

[image] MGM: there is no folder on my home directory Try lo locate the NA-MIC directory : find $HOME -type d -name “NA-MIC” Some distros don’t put config files in $HOME/.config/

it is a hidden folder, you just need to run one of the commands I mentioned above then run slicer again. copy paste the command in the terminal and let us know what message you got. No messages means the command run without problem.

@chir.set @brhoom yes, i searched in hidden folder, can’t find

what is the path of your Slicer. Did you build it yourself or just downloaded the binary from Slicer website?

Hi @brhoom Thank you, this release work fine :slightly_smiling_face: Have a good day

Try also to re-download the nightly build. Sometimes, the downloaded file is corrupted.
