Install PV*Sol on Linux Mint

lizaaaaa · Feb 23, 2021

Dear all,

I am new to all this (incl. Linux) and am trying to get a software to work: https://valentin-software.com/produkte/pvsol-premium/#release-notes

It's not a game, but maybe you guys can figure it out anyways?

Have tried different things but get various error messages when trying to install. Can anyone help

?

Thank you sooo much!!

Hmm, interesting... If you decide to use PlayOnLinux, you can create a manual installation like in most of our gaming guides.
Use Wine 6.1 64-bit
Setup a 64-bit Virtual Drive (wineprefix)
Set Wine configurations to Windows 10
Install the following packages:

corefonts
d3dx9
d3dx10
d3dx11
dotnet472
tahoma

Then install the application
It has an OpenGL compatibility, so there is a chance Wine might use that instead of DirectX.
If it doesn't work, make sure to run the applications with "Debug" instead of "Run"
This way you can see all the errors and bugs.... then post them here and I'll take a look.

Just in case anyone is curious:

Wow thanks for the amazingly quick reply! I will try and let you know.

lizaaaaa · Feb 23, 2021

Okay so first I tried installing the newest Wine-version according to your "Installting new Wine version"-instruction. But afterentering the first command in shell I get:

Cannot add PPA: ''This PPA does not support focal''.

What's that?

Do you know how I solve this?

lizaaaaa · Feb 25, 2021

Okay, so using PlayOnLinux, I added Wine 6.0. 6.1 is not available yet. Should also work, I hope?

But I got a different problem now, when trying to install the packages:

And here is some more info...

System info:
Desktop: Cinnamon 4.8.6 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal

Can you help me out? Thanks!

Whohooo, I was able to install. It immediately crashed, but I got to installing it! I spent a lot of time on this and actually, this helped: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-13871.html

That's also you, Boomann, right?

Anyways, I did the debugging and added the logfile. Do you or someone else have any ideas? THANKS A LOT!

lizaaaaa · Mar 1, 2021

Oh, I did use Wine 6.0 as I couldn't get 6.1 properly installed. That shouldn't be the reason, should it?

lizaaaaa · Mar 1, 2021

Okay, so Wine now offered 6.1 and I tried it again. Here is the updated playonlinux report from debugging as well as the backtrace.

Got a UNKNOWN while executing native code. This usually indicates

Sorry I missed your posts. I am not getting notifications for some reason???
If you are getting file mismatch type of errors it is probably because of your PlayOnLinux version.
Make sure PlayOnLinux is 4.3.4
They have fixed most of those missing file error with that version.
I'll take a look at your errors too...

booman · Mar 16, 2021

I see several errors and/or warnings.
I saw one for Mono runtime. Mono should automatically be installed with any wineprefix, but just in case, you can go to Packages/Components and install it manually under Configure.
Sounds like PV Sol might require Dot NET Framework 4.7.2
This is also available in the Packages/Components area under Configure

For the most part if its newer, then just make sure your Virtual Drive is 64-bit and you are using 64-bit version of Wine... then you can install dotnet472

Also this Intel Mesa warning might be related to your video drivers.
Make sure your video drivers are up-to-date

Dear @booman ,
thanks for checking! I think, I already did and verified / installed again (drivers=up to date, playonlinux 4.3.4 check). I think I remember the program automatically installing mono. Anyways, I re-installed dotnet-472 (where it first said, deinstalling mono), then I installed mono, the 64-version. Then tried again and this time it crashed immediately.
Am I using the right wine-version with amd64 wine 6.1? Every time I try setting up a new virtual drive, I only get to choose the amd-ones, I think. Not the x86. Or is the mistake somewhere else entirely...?
Anyways, if you have any other ideas, I would be very grateful!

booman · Apr 14, 2021

Ok, I think you are on the right path...
Mono and Dot NET Framework can not existing on the same Virtual Drive. They conflict with eachother.
Yes AMD64 is the proper Wine for 6.1
Try downloading a "Staging" version as well.

It might be a good idea to start over with a brand new Virtual Drive. Sometimes a stubborn game I was testing would have to be installed a bunch of times before I found the proper configuration.

I found this list of PV design software
https://www.fuzen.io/solar-epc/list-of-solar-pv-design-software-tools/

This one apparently runs in Linux... is this comparable to PV*SOL?

System Advisor Model (SAM)
Features: This is free tool developed by Department of Energy (DoE) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). It enables performance predictions and cost of energy estimates for grid-connected power projects. It needs a lot of manual data entry and is not very user friendly. It does not offer shading analysis but can import this data from PVsyst.
Rating: Not available
Available as: Installed software on Windows, Mac, Linux
Pricing: Free Software
Website: https://sam.nrel.gov/download

Did you post this on unix.stackexchange too?

I tried everything!
Turns out PV SOL requires Dot NET Framework 4.8 which is pretty new. PlayOnLinux and Winetricks provides it, but the dang thing never finished the installation.
So I was not able to run it either!

I got it to work with:

winearch64
dotnet48
d3dx9 #dont’t know if needed

3D with gallium-nine. A lot of glitches though. No reliable setup.

Tried dxvk, no luck.

3D on a qemu VM is no fun. Got it running on a Kaby Lake laptop by the mediated device passthrough horror, which Intel calls „GVT-g“. Alot of work, not reliable either. You have to be careful not to crash the machine while doing any other stuff with the GPU.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_GVT-g

In the end, I reverted to a dedicated laptop. After all the software doesn’t call for much hardware.

Perhaps newer iterations work better. AFAIK the software is 32bit, single threaded, in the year 2022…

Hi
I have a similar issue. Found this thread because I want to get the software PV*SOL run on Linux. But Ubuntu 22.04.
PV*SOL premium 2023 Release 7

I was able to install it all the way with wine, crossover or playonlinux.
But when I want to start it theres the following errormessage

Bildschirmfoto vom 2023-09-22 10-55-59.png

may you can help me?

Install PV*Sol on Linux Mint
