Hello everyone,
I’m having a problem running Flair. The software doesn’t even open on Ubuntu and I can’t open it as well via the .flair files. When I try to go to the Flair website it says “This site can´t be reached” even from the hyperlink at the Fluka website, on all devices that I’ve tried it. This has been the situation since Tuesday 7pm (GMT), and at 3pm everything was running fine on Flair.
Has anyone else had the same problem happening to them? Is it a server problem? What else can I do to run my simulations and still have an easy or easier time analysing it’s graphical results?
thank you for reporting the issue with the link to Flair. We are currently experiencing a problem with the domain, but the website of Flair is still reachable via https://flair.cern/
However, this wouldn’t cause any issues running Flair. Do you receive any error messages in the terminal?
I could acess Flair website through that link, yes. Thank you!
Should I reinstall Flair back from scratch in the terminal?
When I click on the Flair Icon, it doesn’t happen anything. When I ran it on the terminal, I got this back
jpnm@jpnm-VirtualBox:~$ flair

Did it, can run Flair, and it opened up (thank you)!
When it started up, there’s a popup that says
“Fluka directory is not found in the settings nor in the PATH. Please set the Fluka Directory in the Preferences Dialog.”
This appeared as well Tuesday morning, I placed the Fluka path back again and was able to run some simulations until the all situation with Flair happened later on that day. Something that I might had added wrong within the Fluka directory?
Something likely went wrong when Flair saved the configuration file previously. If you put something wrong as the FLUKA directory then you shouldn’t be able to run simulations.
