Creating child process failed. Log ID is 0001
Action LaunchAPpAction from freature CODE\Linux_a64\SIMCAE_TP.PRD FAILED.

Anybody know how to solve this problem? Thx
Had the same problem. Solved by installing glibc.
On RHEL6
sudo yum install glibc.i686
On Ubuntu 16.04 with Abaqus2017, I installed
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
sudo apt-get install libjpeg62
to get rid of this error
I had to install perl on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.5 (Ootpa) to fix it:
yum install perl

No gui after uninstalling gtk2.0 in ubuntu 16.10

I have ubuntu 16.10 version installed. I uninstalled gtk using sudo apt-get remove --purge gtk2.0. After rebooting, my whole gui is not loading, no login screen also. I can access other terminals using Ctrl+Alt+f1. How can i get my gui interface back?. Anyhelp is appreciated.thanks.
You might probably want to try this:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^
This should install all the packages of standard Ubuntu Desktop that you've removed.
Alternatively, you can check the logs of apt /var/log/apt/history.log and install back the packages that got removed.

VirtualBox VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH on Ubuntu

I trying to install VirtualBox on Ubuntu 14.04. I've installed VirtualBox from Ubuntu repository:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
Then I added my user to vboxusers:
sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a user
I also installed an extrapack for my vb vsion:
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.10/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.36-105129.vbox-extpack
sudo vboxmanage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.10-104061.vbox-extpack
But when I trying to start vm, I get an error:
RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.
where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime
what: 4
VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user.
And I have no /etc/init.d/vboxdrv file.
How can I fix this problem?
I've removed all the virualbox packages:
sudo apt-get purge 'virtualbox*'
Then I've installed virtualbox v.5
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.0
After that I've enabled virtualization in BIOS.
Now it works.
Check what version of virtualbox you installed
dpkg --list 'virtualbox*'
may be it's not aligned with the Extension pack.
Remove your installation
sudo apt-get autoremove 'virtualbox*'
Don't install fron Ubuntu repositories but run a fresh installation following the instuctions from official Oracle Virtualbox Download page about Debian-based Linux distributions.
Check that Virtualbox is running before installing the Extension pack.
I had the same error starting a vm client in ubuntu 16.4 .
Coincidentally I noticed in the file /var/crash/_usr_lib_virtualbox_VirtualBox.0.crash the following message:
Title: VirtualBox crashed with SIGABRT in QMessageLogger::fatal()
UnreportableReason: Sie haben einige veraltete Paketversionen
installiert. Bitte aktualisieren Sie die folgenen Pakete und prüfen
Sie, ob das Problem danach noch auftritt:
virtualbox-dkms
Translated: You have some outdated package versions installed. Please update the following packages and check, if the problem still occurs after that:
After the command:
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade virtualbox-dkms
all was OK :)

Ugrade tmux from 1.8 to 1.9 on Ubuntu 14.04

I was just adding tmux plugins to my .tmux.conf file to find out that one of the plugins (tmux-copycat I think) requires tmux 1.9. When I start tmux I get the message `Error: Tmux version unsupported. Please install tmux version 1.9 or greater!".
So, what is the best way to upgrade tmux 1.8 to 1.9 on Ubuntu 14.04?
Update: due to new tmux version and changes in package repository, this answer is updated to show how to install tmux 2.0 (which is better, no reason to use 1.9 anymore).
Here are the steps to update "blank" ubuntu - version 14.04 only (see below for other ubuntu versions):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:pi-rho/dev
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y tmux=2.0-1~ppa1~t
now if you do tmux -V it should show tmux 2.0 which is a good version for tmux plugins
I verified the above steps on a new digitalocean droplet.
Basically, it's adding the pi-rho/dev repository, updating and then installing tmux from there.
If you have another ubuntu version you might want to install a different tmux version from the same repo. So:
ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) step 5: sudo apt-get install -y tmux=1.9a-1~ppa1~p (installs tmux 1.9, no package for tmux 2.0 yet)
ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) step 5: sudo apt-get install -y tmux=1.9a-1~ppa1~s (installs tmux 1.9, no package for tmux 2.0 yet)
ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) step 5: sudo apt-get install -y tmux=2.0-1~ppa1~u
ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) step 5: sudo apt-get install -y tmux=2.0-1~ppa1~v
If you don't want to add a PPA, you can just build it from source. It's explained in the README on tmux's GitHub page:
To build tmux from a release tarball, do:
$ ./configure && make
$ sudo make install
You might need to install some extra packages to build it. On Ubuntu I needed to install these packages before it would successfully build:
exuberant-ctags
cmake
libevent-dev
libncurses5-dev
Another way to do #3 above (especially if you are using a corporate proxy that might break ppa).
sudo add-apt-repository -y http://ppa.launchpad.net/pi-rho/dev/ubuntu
If using a tool like Artifactory to act as a caching package proxy
sudo add-apt-repository -y http://my.artifactory.site/ppa.launchpad.net/pi-rho/dev/ubuntu
or
sudo add-apt-repository -y http://my.domain/artifactory/ppa.launchpad.net/pi-rho/dev/ubuntu

Error message when setting up ADT in Linux

I installed Ubuntu 11.10, installed GNOME 3 (replaced Unity), installed Eclipse from the Ubuntu Software Center, installed the android sdk and ADT.
Now when I start eclipse I get a message saying:
Failed to get ADB version : Cannot run program
/home/ayush/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb":java.io.IOException:error=2,
No such file or directory
What is causing this error and how do I fix it?
The command to install IA32 libraries on Ubuntu is:
apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install ia32-libs
Before that please check your ubuntu version. if you are running with 64 bits, you need to install a linux emulator, IA32 bit I thinks. Verify on Google.
after that, your ADB can run easily on ubuntu.
I'm using Fedora 17 and I got the same error as the poster:
[2013-08-29 21:44:08 - adb] Unexpected exception 'Cannot run program
"/home/el/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729/sdk/platform-tools/adb":
error=2, No such file or directory' while attempting to get adb version from
'/home/el/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130729/sdk/platform-tools/adb'
I know this works if you are using Fedora 17/18 (login as root)
yum install redhat-lsb.i686
And then restart the IDE and the errors no longer show.
I had the exact same error as you had, but on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS version.
The following avoided that error for me:
1) Install 'adb' and 'fastboot' provided by the following third-party PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
2) Replace the copy of 'adb' and 'fastboot' provided by the official Android SDK with those installed from the above step:
cp /usr/bin/adb <path-to-your-adt-sdk-package>/sdk/platform-tools/adb
cp /usr/bin/fastboot <path-to-your-adt-sdk-package>/sdk/platform-tools/fastboot
3) Restart(re-execute) your eclipse binary.
Full credits:
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html
They have the binaries for 12.10, 11.10 and 11.04 as well.
Don't try to install ia32-libs, this library has been obsoleted.
So, you should install these libraries:
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5
Cheers
