Why is ProjectM not opening in Ubuntu 17.04?
1
I installed ProjectM via the Ubuntu Software portal, and after launching, the icon sits on the doc, highlights a few times, and then closes.
Trying it in the terminal generates this:
dir:/usr/share/projectM/config.inp
reading ~/.projectM/config.inp
[projectM] config file: /home/jason/.projectM/config.inp
No Textures Loaded from "/usr"/share/projectM/textures
Could not open font file: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
Is that "/usr" section indicating a typo in the config file maybe?
Did the font not get autoinstalled with the projectM package? Maybe an apt-update / apt-upgrade can fix it. I'll work on it myself but also thought I'd ask here.

I have the same problem.
I managed to 'fix' the font error by going to the /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ folder and renaming the 'dejavu' folder as 'ttf-dejavu'. Now ProjectM opens but the textures are still not opening.

It would be better to create a symbolic link as an alias of/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavuinstead of renaming it:sudo ln -sT dejavu /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu

@DavidFoerster Yeah, I just went with the preset review response that I thought was the closest. Probably better to do a "this should be a comment" response. Sorry about that.

Based on the font-related error message, I changed the config.inp file from this:
Title Font = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
Menu Font = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
to this:
Title Font = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
Menu Font = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
ProjectM opens correctly for me now!

Based on the font-related error message, I changed the config.inp file from this:
Title Font = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
Menu Font = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
to this:
Title Font = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
Menu Font = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
ProjectM opens correctly for me now!
