Cura: 3.1.0 does not take over Printers and Profiles (?) from 3.0.4, Kubuntu 17.10

[mpsdskd]

Today I followed curas advice to update to 3.1.0, so I downloaded it from ultimaker.com.
Upon opening 3.1 asks me to set up a printer, although I have it all set up in 3.0.4 (which still works, just opening the old appimage), so no printer settings are take over from the previous version.
Clicking Settings -> Profiles shows a blank window [-> Screenshot] and cura closes itself upon closing the window.

The same behavior occurs on my other machine, also Kubuntu 17.10.

Starting cura from bash does not seem to produce interesting output:

~/Desktop$ ./Cura-3.1.0.AppImage

Attached my ~/.local/share/cura settings folder from before the update:

Thanks for any help with this problem

Hi @mpsdskd, thanks for the zip file! I think this is enough for us to investigate. We will let you know when it is fixed.

[mpsdskd]

I tried to solve the problem myself in a rather low tech way:

• remove: /home/username/.local/share/cura/3.1/
• copy /home/username/.local/share/cura/3.0/ to /home/username/.local/share/cura/3.1/

Looks like everything works for now....?

[LipuFei]

Hi @mpsdskd I have fixed this problem in the master branch. For now you can use this workaround : make sure that you have a machine activated (selected) before going to the "Preferences -> Profile" dialog.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[mpsdskd]

Okay, I have my other machine to try, but upon opening 3.1 I have no printer to select (which is the main problem).
So you want me to create a new printer?
I did that and now there is no problem opening the profile settings.

But my main problem is, that my old printer is gone in the new version.

[LipuFei]

Ah ok. I will have a look. I used your cura directory to upgrade and I could find all the printers in the top-right list, although none is selected when Cura first starts, so I thought it was just a problem with opening that dialog.

[mpsdskd]

Interesting, for me there is only the newly created ultimaker 3.
Did you try it on Linux?

[LipuFei]

On Windows 10. Good point, I will try it on Linux.

[LipuFei]

You are right. It's not working on Linux somehow.

[mpsdskd]

Can you confirm that my work around works for you as well?

• remove: /home/username/.local/share/cura/3.1/
• copy /home/username/.local/share/cura/3.0/ to /home/username/.local/share/cura/3.1/

[LipuFei]

@mpsdskd There is a problem in copying files over during the upgrade. I suggest to do the following two steps and it should work just fine:

• remove ~/.config/cura/3.1
• remove ~/.local/share/cura/3.1

In case you are interested, I have made a fix: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Uranium/commit/0fbb3a147a6f13ff32920079c48f260d8fe7679d

[mpsdskd]

Does not fix my problem:
I removed ~/.config/cura/3.1 and ~/.local/share/cura/3.1 and started 3.1 again.
I get asked to create a new printer and my old printers and profiles are gone.

[LipuFei]

Have you also removed ~/.config/cura/3.1?

[mpsdskd]

Yes

[mpsdskd]

However I did not copy ~/.local/share/cura/3.0 to 3.1 as you did not tell me to.
Did you want me to do this as well?

[LipuFei]

That's weird then... I will check later. Thanks

[DanalEstes]

Slightly different symptom, so this may or may not help debug:

I converted from 3.0.4 to 3.1.0, via the "Ultimaker Cura-3.1.0-win64.exe" installer downloaded 12/10/2017.

All printers came forward. All materials came forward. All customized print profiles did not.

Windows 10 Home, V1703, Build 15063.726.

Hi @mpsdskd , I will close this issue if you don't mind since it's working for you now.

[mpsdskd]

Okay, I hope the next update will be easier
