This will install all required add-ons in one go.Ī new masking tool has been included for speedy mesh editing and for tooth removal, and model bases can now be deleted after construction. With Ubuntu 22.10 it was just a bit more complicated, but it was also late at night.The Model Designer has a new one push button operation to speed up the installation process.

With this method I could always update the Blender version by simply unzipping the new zip and renaming the new folder.

I was always creating a Programs folder, unpacking the Blender tar/zip, renaming the folder as blender and creating the launcher. Note that since the first versions of Ubuntu, I had never installed Blender this way. I don't know, maybe I missed some logout or restart. It was possible to add Blender to the Favourites and then I moved the sktop file back to ~/.local/share/applications.Īfter the above, even after eliminating everything I had done, Blender remained in the favorites and is present in the Applications overview. I copied the sktop file to the desktop: here with the right click there was an Allow launching option, and it launched Blender. Using a terminal: echo 'application/x-blender=sktop' | sudo tee -a /usr/share/applications/defaults.list To the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list file. I added the line: application/x-blender=sktop This didn't launch Blender and in the right click menu there was no Allow launching option. I copied the sktop file that is in the Blender tar archive into the ~/.local/share/applications folder, changed the path for the executable and for the icon, and I set it as executable. I don't know which of the following actions worked, so I list them all: I had the same problem on Ubuntu 22.10, but managed to solve it.
