Still working within my Linux computer system. I now have both my Bluetooth Logitec keyboard and Bluetooth mouse working double duty between my Mac-mini and Linux PC’s. Also sharing the same video monitor by using a manual video selection switch. Just the touch of a push button.
MAC is #1 and Linux is #2. Both input devices (M & KB) have a third output available. No need right now… Ha!
Also made a new milestone on the Linux system. I have now been able to get CrealityPrint V6 operational in Ubuntu. It’s a 3D printer slicer application.
I had Version 4 of the slicer on the machine and it was working. I loaded the new V6 and it would not function at all. Just a dead file. Did some internet searching and found the cure. There is a special edition of CrealityPrint V6 just for Ubuntu. But there is also a missing driver file that needs to be manually added to Ubuntu. Someone out there was nice enough to publish those secrets.
Followed the advice and now have a fully functional CrealityPrint V6 functioning in Ubuntu. I believe it runs faster and smoother than my Mac-mini and Win11 versions. Probably because there is less overhead in the Linux OS.
It doesn’t make the prints come out any better. But the human interface in getting the slicing accomplished just seems much smoother.
Begs the question why the Creality website makes no mention of this “special edition” Ubuntu package. Perhaps because is still needs an additional driver, not standard in stock Ubuntu.
Whatever. Just happy I found the solution and have a working system.
Not posting the web links here as everything is always changing. Just do a search for: “ CrealitySlicer V6 not working in Ubuntu.” That should lead to the solution I found.
