My machine doesn’t like a new software – Installation Error!

Asked By jcwood 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/01/2012

Hello!

I hope everyone’s having a good time here. Please help me out with my problem. Just recently, I attempted to install a certain software on my computer, but I wasn’t able to complete the installation because my machine acted up and reported the following error: “Received exception: Assertion failed in MeshPacket.cc, line 2550: this_mp && this_mp->numOwners”in .trn file:"ERROR: MeshPacket 12 does not exist”.

This is the first time that I have encountered this kind of error. Do you guys know any idea on how to fix this? Thank you so much for helping me out.

From the type of error I am guessing that you are using LINUX rather than windows. And you are using GAMBIT. my first advice to you is to use Fluent for this purpose. How ever if you still want to use GAMBIT then following the steps might save you some time

Go to user directory to create a folder named tmp.

Download the patch xorg-server from here

After doing the above steps, follow the next ones below.

• cd ~/tmp
• sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev devscripts
• apt-get source xserver-xorg-core
• sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-core
• cd xorg-server-1.7.6/
• patch -p1 <~/tmp/xorg-server_xastir_fix.patch
• dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
• cd ..
• sudo dpkg -i xserver-common_1.7.6-2ubuntu7_all.deb

Now you have to see if your system is a 32bit or 64bit then modify the piece of code according to it.
$ sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.7.6-2ubuntu7_amd64.deb/$ sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-core_1.7.6-2ubuntu7_i386.deb

After all the steps shown above reboot the system. It is a trapped mouse bug and by doing the above steps solves this issue.

I hope that it helps you because there is no other way of doing it.

You just have to leave using GAMBIT.
