External Email - Use Caution
Hello JC, My bad with the first command, try $ cd /usr/local/freesurfer/bin ... try the next command w/o sudo first, $ ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms platforms ... if that works, then try running freeview again. ... if that fails with a permission denied error, then you do not have permission to modify anything under the freesurfer install. You can try running the command again with sudo but you may need to know the sudo password, e.g. it may prompt you for the password,
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms platforms[sudo] password for JC: If the sudo command does work, then try running freeview again. If you do not know the password, then try asking whoever setup the machine for the passowrd, or ask them to run the commands. You can also try running the script that Andrew sent you. But if the above “ln” command failed w/o sudo, then I think you will also need sudo privileges to run the script.
