Nicely organized code. What it does I don't have much of a clue 8^) yet. Thanks for sharing.

Setting up Blender Python on Ubuntu - No such file or directory for Blender executable
I used Victor's awesome youtube video "5 Steps to setup VSCode for Blender Python (on Linux)" to setup Blender Python on my Ubuntu (Pop!_OS) laptop. All was good until I got to verifying the VSCode command "Blender: Start" worked. No joy, I get "No such file or directory" for my Blender executable. Me and my AI Buddy spent hours on this problem with no joy. He suggests... 1. Completely reinstall VSCode # Did this twice already 2. Try a different Linux distribution # Not sure how I can do this easily 3. Report issue to the extension developers Has anyone here experienced this type of problem? Thanks for putting up with this long post; but here are some details that might be helpful. The solution probably is staring me in the face but I'm blind at this point. 8^) I ran my_blender_start.sh in an external to VSCode terminal and it worked, both with relative and absolute references. Blender started as expected. OK, so I can start Blender from a terminal! gr8 #!/bin/bash export PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH" /usr/bin/flatpak run --filesystem=host org.blender.Blender -d "$@" Also, In a terminal, I can successfully open blender like this: (base) omartinj@digital-arts:/usr/bin$ /usr/bin/flatpak run --filesystem=host org.blender.Blender -d Switching to fully guarded memory allocator. Blender 4.3.0 Build: 2024-11-19 10:50:58 Linux Release argv[0] = ./blender argv[1] = -d Saved session recovery to "/tmp/quit.blend" Blender quit (base) omartinj@digital-arts:/usr/bin$ When I run an absolute reference to my_blender_start.sh in VSCode Terminal it cannot find the Blender executable. 8^( sh-5.2$ /home/omartinj/Blender_Projects/my_blender_start.sh /home/omartinj/Blender_Projects/my_blender_start.sh: line 3: /usr/bin/flatpak: No such file or directory sh-5.2$ echo $PATH /usr/bin:/app/bin:/app/bin:/app/bin:/usr/bin:/home/omartinj/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/data/node_modules/bin sh-5.2$ When I run "Blender: Start" in VSCode it fails with...

Yes it worked! For some reason Flatpak doesn't seem to want to play nice 8^( Looks like I will be using this workaround going forward. Thanks @Victor Stepanov Here's what I did: On my Pop!_OS laptop - Downloaded from blender.org the latest blender 4.3.1 package archive - Extracted all to folder /home/username/Downloads/Blender/blender-4.3.1-linux-x64 - Edited my_blender_start.sh to point to the downloaded Blender program #!/bin/bash export PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH" #/usr/bin/flatpak run --filesystem=host org.blender.Blender -d "$@" /home/username/Downloads/Blender/blender-4.3.1-linux-x64/blender - No change to VSCode blender.executables in settings.json { "blender.executables": [ { "path": "/home/username/Blender_Projects/my_blender_start.sh", "name": "blender3.12", "isDebug": false } } - In VSCode ran ctrl>shift>p Blender: Start Blender3.12 - In VSCode Terminal * Executing task in folder Setting up VSCode: /home/username/Blender_Projects/my_blender_start.sh --python /home/username/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/data/vscode/extensions/jacqueslucke.blender-development-0.0.25/pythonFiles/launch.py Saved session recovery to "/tmp/quit.blend" Blender quit * Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it. - It works!

Ok. I now have Blender Python programming platforms on Windows and Pop!_OS (Ubuntu). I have both as Windows is my daily driver and Pop OS has my GPU for rendering. Next steps, write some simple scripts.

Awesome, Welcome
Hi! I'm Marty
Hi! I'm Marty, from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I'm diving deeper into application programming for 3D art using Python and Blender. I'm all about understanding Blender's API and streamlining my 3D art workflow by automating those repetitive tasks. On a personal note, I'm working on an animated music video for a song I composed, and I'm super excited to learn from the process and create tools to make it easier. Otherwise, I spend my time with my family. Thanks

I'm comfortable with Python business applications, including UI, reporting, and data management. Now, I need to learn how to use the APIs for Blender and Reaper. The first tool for me will likely be workflow-related. In other words, when you begin or end a work session with Reaper, you don't want to spend 30 minutes manually rendering audio, moving files, checking your systems, etc. The same applies to Blender. Taking the Blender Studio Scripting for Artists and CG Python @Victor Stepanov tutorials. Working today to set-up VSCode for Blender on Windows following your video. I'm planning to attend the Coffee Hangout today. Thanks

I had spent all day 8^) Setting up VSCode for Blender/Python on my windows computer. Now I have my Blender development environment setup 8^] Boy, did I learn a lot! At this point I was brain dead 8^(, I got my times mixed up for the hangout. I was an hour late, plus was having issues getting Google Meet setup with my mic, camera, lighting. No worries
