On my 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04, SketchUp 2014 hangs after choosing a template. This has been reported as a <a href=\"http:\/\/bugs.winehq.org\/show_bug.cgi?id=35832\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bug<\/a> and seemed to be fixed in Wine 1.7.19. However, I still get this error.<\/p>\n<p>The workaround is disable Ruby API by launching SketchUp via:<\/p>\n<pre style=\"border: none;\">wine \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SketchUp\\SketchUp 2014\\SketchUp.exe\" \"\/DisableRubyAPI\"<\/pre>\n<p>Or, in the Properties window of the desktop shortcut, add <code>\/DisableRubyAPI<\/code> to the end of command area:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/disablerubyapi.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3371\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/disablerubyapi.png\" alt=\"disablerubyapi\" width=\"508\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/disablerubyapi.png 508w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/disablerubyapi-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2. If sketch up doesn&#8217;t work because of a problem with a graphics card<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1. Run below command to bring up Registry Editor:<\/p>\n<pre style=\"border: none;\">wine regedit<\/pre>\n<p>2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -&gt; Software -&gt; Google -&gt; SketchUp version -&gt; GLConfig -&gt; Display<\/p>\n<p>3. Change the value of HW_OK to 1 (so that it shows up as 0\u00d700000001 (1)<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve posted a tutorial about how to install Google SketchUp 2013 in Ubuntu 13.04, but it seems to be outdated.
