Cannot Open PCB Veiw in KiCad Project #10
Comments
Unfortunately it is not easily possible to revert a design back to an older version of Kicad. Can you try with the nightly build and see if it opens with that? |
I am using KiCad 5.1.10, it was released May of 2021 (this year). This is the latest stable release of 2021. The error asks for a version that is from 2019 or newer. There are no nightly builds for debian.
I will try with Windows. Can you update the project so that it works with KiCad version 5.1.10 (the latest stable release)? |
I changed to Still in Development (sid) branch on Debian and tried to use the release candidate on the repository it is version 5.1.12 the same error occurs. |
When I last updated the design it must have been on a compiled version on my old Debian 10 box. Looks like Ubuntu has a nightly PPA but Debian does not. I don't want to waste time compiling nightly for Debian so lemme try windows. |
Thank you. I was able to install
Steps: sudo echo "deb https://debian.sur5r.net/kicad-nightly bullseye main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list #check to see if it is there. Use text editor if it is not there.

sudo dpkg -i ./sur5r-keyring.deb
# install deb package from link above
sudo dpkg -i libglew2.1_2.1.0-4+b1_amd64.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kicad-nightly It works now. I can see why you chose to use the nightly versions. On first glance, the interface is vastly improved and looks like other professional EDA tools. Is there a plan to move to the stable releases of KiCad once these improvements have been released into a stable release? |
Looks very promising. I can't wait for it to be released. Until then, can you add a line in the |
Sure. |
I cannot open the PCB view of the KiCad Project. I am using KiCad 5.1.10, released May 2021. The error says to use KiCad version with a date of 2019-03-11 or newer.
I am running Debian GNU/Linux testing/sid. I am using the flatpak version of the application. The problem also occurs on Windows.
Here is the error I get.
