Bambu Studio on linux

I’m unable to find an upgrade route for Studio on Ubuntu . Used flatpak to install version 1.8.4, but cannot locate the latest version…
Is anyone here using 1.9. On Ubuntu?

I had to update via the command line.

flatpak update

I believe is what it was.

I currently don’t use Flatpak, I just downloaded the new *.AppImage from the release page.

What is your Ubuntu version ? I use Ubuntu 24.04 and the .appimage don´t run : impossible de start Bambu Studio. The libfuse2t64 library is already installed but nothing work.

I’m using 22.04 flatpak installed when it became available. So far it’s updated on it’s own everytime a new version is released. I had to keep a 1.8.5 AppImage on the desktop to use for uploading to MW, as the updates to the flatpak where beta releases.

I’m on Kubuntu 22.04. What’s the error when you try to run the .AppImage?

I finaly find a solution to install Bambu Studio on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
Open Terminal and try theses commands :

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18

and try again to launch the Bambu Studio appimage

I currently use Bambu_Studio_linux_ubuntu-v01.09.01.66 on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon 06.04 - I tried the latest release which at the time of posting was Bambu_Studio_linux_ubuntu-v01.09.03.50 - there appears to be little difference with 03.05 except there are a lot fewer sparse infill patterns to choose from

I was unable to get any of the Appimages running on my Ubuntu system (I’m a new A1 user), but ultimately found a flatpak of the latest build that runs almost fine. ALMOST …

At first I thought I was missing something, so went back to the Win version to verify. I even deleted all the user config info for the Linux flatpak to make sure I hadn’t messed up a setting.

I CANNOT drag models around on the build plate with a simple click/drag like I can on the Windows version. The model selects but never moves. It can be moved laboriously in the xyz mode one step at a time, but the free moving of the model just isn’t working with the mouse.

Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated. It’s quite a pain. Other than that it’s been fine, once I realized that I needed to be in LAN mode to prevent the app from crashing on every Linux system I tried if the video stream was started or even before.

Just a thought, but when using the app images did you set ‘allow executing file as a program’ and set all permissions to ‘read write’ - then reboot. I have only ever used an app image for BS on linux Mint and it works well - as Mint is a derivation of Ubuntu it should be the same.

The Appimages wouldn’t run because of required shared library versions not present on those systems. This can be a common problem with Appimages.

Start running it from your command line and you will get an exact error why it fails. For me it was because libfuse2 lib was missing on my system.

This did the trick:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libfuse2

Hi,
I was able to successfully install Bambu Studio, but there is a problem: the error message appears “failed to get network plugin”
The program installs than the plugin, reports success, but it doesn’t work. The next time you restart the App or click on Printer, it installes the plugin again but the same problem occurs.
Do you have the same Problem?
I can´t login or commute with the printer…
