Trouble installing or running prusacontrol and/or slic3r PE
hello,
I'm trying to install and/or run either prusacontrol or slic3r PE, but either I'm dumber than I think (possible) or something is wrong.
I'm on Kubuntu 17.10 (and will upgrade to 18.04 within a week).
I'm new to 3d printing so logically I attempted to download prusacontrol_0.9.4.414_beta.AppImage.
(Suggestion: It would be nice to add the simple chmod instruction somewhere obvious for those of us not familiar with AppImage or Snaps or whatever the next cross-platform app-executor-du-jour is. Or just maybe publish a ppa and make it easier 😀 ). Spent time thinking it was a direct executable...then a python image (since that was mentioned somewhere) then I pulled out Google like I should have at first.
So after the chmod a+e *.AppImage to make the AppImage executable, I get:
nahtebee@jaffa:~/Downloads$ ./prusacontrol_0.9.4.415_beta.AppImage
/bin/bash: /tmp/.mount_prusacohkx43/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5: no version information available (required by /bin/bash)
desktop-file-validate is missing. Skipping /tmp/.mount_prusacohkx43/usr/bin//prusacontrol.wrapper.

So maybe I needed slic3r PE. Seems that was mentioned, though not definitively in simple steps. I looked in github, prusa3d forums and knowledgebase, then google.
So this time I was smart and downloaded the tar.bz, since I'm familiar with what to do with that. Extracted, cd to the new directory, tried running ./slic3r, got the command line help. Hmm.
No install script (even though github or somewhere mentioned a do-install script) and no Readme file or anything to know what to do.
So tried running ./slic3r --gui, with poor results:

Also tried executing slic3r from Dolphin by double click, with no success, as expected.
Tried running ./slic3r.pl, with expectedly poor results as well.

Well, maybe the slic3r AppImage will behave better. Downloaded it, chmod, and execute:
nahtebee@jaffa:~/Downloads$ chmod a+x Slic3r-1.39.1-prusa3d-linux64-full-201803010854.AppImage
nahtebee@jaffa:~/Downloads$ ./Slic3r-1.39.1-prusa3d-linux64-full-201803010854.AppImage
^C^C^C^C
...it hung, or at least the gui never showed its face. Too embarrassed by my poor attempts?
Just for grins I also downloaded the standard Slic3r-master-latest.AppImage, and surprisingly, it ran, after a few warnings, the main window appeared. (Didn't try to use it).
nahtebee@jaffa:~/Downloads$ ./Slic3r-master-latest.AppImage

Can someone point out to me the dumb mistake I'm making that everyone else obviously knows about?
Thanks for any help!
