When I start the ./setup command I am taken to the proper installation medium, but after agreeing to terms the installer says that I need to alien the files. Needless to say this hasn't worked so far. Alien runs fine, but the installer won't recognize the files. When trying to install using apt install on the file after I alien the rpm I get:

    apt install ./motionbuilder2020-64_2020-2_amd64.deb

I've been struggling with this for a while now, so any help would be much appreciated! enter image description here Edit: this software requires that I input a licence, skipping this won't allow it to run.

The problem in above command output is

dpkg: error processing archive /home/cole/Downloads/MotionBuilder/motionbuilder2 020-64_2020-2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/ASR/ENCSU202000F_EL_Adlm.asr', whic h is also in package maya2020-64 2020.0-236

To overcome it you have to backup problematic file with

cp /var/opt/Autodesk/Adlm/ASR/ENCSU202000F_EL_Adlm.asr ~

and then force installation of failing deb-package with

sudo dpkg -i --force-all /home/cole/Downloads/MotionBuilder/motionbuilder2020-64_2020-2_amd64.deb

and then fix possible dependency issues with

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a

  • That kind of worked. It did install the application, but I am unable to open it, really just an icon as of now. Running the ./setup command also still gives me the same msg about rpm. In case this might be confusing, the MotionBuilder folder is one I made to try and separate it from the rest of the Downloads. I'm not sure what downloads came with motionbuilder, so that's why I haven't just deleted them and tried fresh. I'm not sure, but I think what might be happening is that it isn't recognizing the license since it may have skipped that step. How do I check/fix this? – Cole Jun 28 '20 at 16:17
