Error running MaestroControlCenter on Ubuntu 16.04

Hi,

I need a little help here. I am new to Ubuntu and was trying to follow the instructions 3.b. Installing Linux Driver and Software.
Somehow, when i try to run Maestro Control Center using

mono ./MaestroControlCenter

I had the following errors.

WARNING: The runtime version supported by this application is unavailable.

Got a SIGABRT while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries 
used by your application.

I did saw the post on similar issue but wasn’t able to have it resolved.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello.

I am sorry you are having trouble running the Maestro Control Center on Ubuntu 16.04.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and using the same version of mono as you, and the Maestro Control Center works for me. Could you run dpkg --get-selections | grep mono and post the result here so I can see what Mono packages you have installed?

–David

Here we go

rss@rss-Surface-Pro:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep mono
ca-certificates-mono				install
fonts-tlwg-mono					install
fonts-tlwg-mono-ttf				install
libmono-corlib4.5-cil				install
libmono-i18n-west4.0-cil			install
libmono-i18n4.0-cil				install
libmono-security4.0-cil				install
libmono-system-configuration4.0-cil		install
libmono-system-security4.0-cil			install
libmono-system-xml4.0-cil			install
libmono-system4.0-cil				install
mono-4.0-gac					install
mono-gac					install
mono-runtime					install
mono-runtime-common				install
mono-runtime-sgen				install
ubuntu-mono					install

On the other hand, i am able to use
./UscCmd --servo 0,8000
to move one servo at channel 0, but unable to move the servo on channel 1. I believe is due to the maximum and minimum setting? I am using Pololu 18 Channel Mini Maestro.

The Maestro Control Center uses Windows Forms as its GUI library. Can you try installing it by running the command below?

sudo apt-get install libmono-system-windows-forms4.0-cil

–David

Thanks you so David for your quick response!
My Maestro Control Center is up.
Appreciate your support and help.
