InPower V1.02.26 BricsCAD V25 Ubuntu V24.04 LTS Installation and Testing

So far the compile and installation of InPower went well. I just copied the source code from V23 to V25, recompiled using CodeBlocks and GCC. After finding a few relocated and missing files everything appears to be working correctly.

The crash in BricsCAD V23, when many block are selected seems to be replaced with just a mouse lockup where the ESC key returns control to the user. No crash so far. Progress! I will update this as I get more use time.

The other issue I hope will be fixed with BricsCAD V25 is the disappearing toolbars. I will update this thread as more information comes in.

  • Disabling Grips attraction in the settings under Grips seems to have fixed the mouse freezing. Something seems to have changed with the mouse. Could be the OS running in the VM or BricsCAD, hard to to at this point.

  • Crash report

    The computer had been sitting running BricsCAD for days, just on, drawing open and doing nothing. I sat down and copied several blocks then pasted them into the open drawing. Then I clicked the Undo in the toolbar. This crashed BricsCAD. See attached crash report.

  • Another similar crash, selected about 20 blocks, Ctrl c, then pasted into the same dwg file. Then hit the Undo button on the toolbar. Crash.

    The computer had been sitting idle with the drawing open for several hours.
