Ubuntu 18.04 installation notes

I decided to give Ubuntu 18.04 on my system. Here are some notes on the proces, for myself mostly.

Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install libopenal1 libxcb-xinerama0

TeensyControls

This plugin wouldn’t load because of this error:

dlerror:libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I had to symlink libudev.so.1 to libudev.so.0:

cd /lib/x86_64-linux-g sudo
ln -s libudev.so.1 libudev.so.0

The next error was:

Teensy permission denied, please install udev rules

I solved this by installing the proper udev rules (like I should have done in the first place 😛)

sudo wget -O /etc/udev/rules.d/49-teensy.rules https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/49-teensy.rules

Known issues

Window focus problem - After installing and using X-Plane I noticed that focusing on other windows, left mouseclick and switching between windows didn’t work anymore. I had to switch to another terminal and back for a workaround: CTRL-ALT-F3 to switch to another terminal and CTRL-ALT-F2 to switch back.
