Chamsys QuickQ

[BobJ]

Just go a QuickQ 20 for our bijou theater and think its a great bang for the buck. The Chauvet, ChamSys and Luna guys here in the US have been helpful but I would like to be able to converse with some regular users to swap experiences. Unfortunately ChamSys have closed down their user forum and moved all traffic to Facebook. I do not use (or ever will use) Facebook so feeling kind of left out. Any QuickQ users out there I would be glad to hear from.

The Chamsys forum looks very much 'still there' to me! Still active, too - last post was made just this afternoon. https://secure.chamsys.co.uk/forum/index.php

Right. Not too hard to see that. But it isn't allowing new members. Try it.

But it isn't allowing new members. Try it.

The message in red at the top of the page gives a little clue as to the reason why not

New registrations are temporarily disabled due to a fault with our email system. We are working to resolve this.

Yeah, I saw that (bit hard to miss it!). But the forum definitely isn't "closed down", it's still very much active - and I'm sure new registrations will be opened up again soon enough once the issues they're having are resolved.

The Forum registrations will be coming back again - we're working on a few system updates, which unfortunately due to the current climate is taking us a little longer than planned!

Well, 3 years later and I'd like to discuss installing Magicq under Linux but the forum is gone.

Is it really gone and, if so, can anyone walk me through a problem with a brand new install of Magicq on a brand new Debian/Ubuntu system?

Thanks, Dave

Magicq won't run from the icon. If I run it from a terminal window it says /opt/Magicq/lib/libstdc++.so.6: 'GLIBCXX_3.4.30' not found (required by/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicuuc.so.72)

I've found some stuff on the web about making sure there's a symbolic link to it and that appears to be correct. This was a full, clean install of the latest version of Debian followed by installing the latest stable release of Magicq.

I'm kind of renewing an interest in Linux after a gap of about 20 years so am a bit rusty!

Thanks

pressume youve tried

If MagicQ is failing to start on Linux, try running it from the command line (with /opt/magicq/runmagicq.sh). If errors appear similar to the following:

libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri)
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Then this is likely caused by your graphics drivers being built for a newer version of libc than MagicQ is distributed with. Try renaming /opt/magicq/lib/libstdc.so.6 to libstdc.so.6~ (this may require root) and running again; this will allow MagicQ to use the system version of libstdc.so.6. If this fails, rename the file back again and contact support.

You're a star! Thank you so much. That's a very large beer I owe you. I hadn't thought to look in that document. Just assumed I was doing something wrong!

Now to get the aging Microtouch touch screen working... but that's for another day!

Thanks again, very much
