Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Debian. users can finally use Autodesk Fusion 360 in the Linux Browser now.
On Chromium 55.0.2843.0 I get NET::ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED .
It seems like it is now possible to get it running in WINE, see https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=36468 (not tested yet) — also see the comments below and freel free to add your hints
What is missing is to make a Fusion 360 installation immutable (so that it gets frozen and locked in time) and able to be used without an Internet connection. I would like to burn it to CD-ROM and be able to always have the same version without any changes and without having to go online. Unless Autodesk gives me that ability, I won’t be using their software. (Autodesk could introduce an update with features that I don’t like any time, or shut down their server stuff.) I need to be able to archive my work and the software that goes along with it, and be able to use it 30 years from now. Everything else is not long-term reliable for me. Who knows whether Autodesk is still around 30 years from now. Or say 300 years. (We can still read paper drawings from 300 years ago no problem.)
Since Autodesk is known for removing Linux support, forcing users to activate software online, renting rather than selling software, and for reducing capabilities in free plans, you may want to consider alternatives to Autodesk software.
Rendering and Animation with OpenGL works. 🙂
I tried @Le0xFF ‘s writeup but I get the same error I’ve gotten using Lutris or the suggestions written here. I am able to log in but some time after logging in, I get this error message:
Looking through the logs in the prefix, this is the only thing that stands out:
. 20210317T221015 E Main thread ID: 46 (module:nsbase10) File: (filename not available): (function-name not available) (module:nsbase10) File: (filename not available): (function-name not available) (module:nsbase10) File: (filename not available): (function-name not available) (module:nsbase10) File: (filename not available): (function-name not available) (module:nsbase10) File: (filename not available): (function-name not available) (module:nsbase10) File: (filename not available): (function-name not available) (module:kernelbase) File: (filename not available): (function-name not available) . A bit of googling for module:nsbase10 pulls up a few forum posts regarding bad installs other Fusion360 users have had but deleting and reinstallling seemed to work in their cases. I’m installing in a fresh Wine prefix so I doubt that will solve my problem.
Could anyone kindly assist with the blank panel I am seeing ? I am on Kubuntu 20.04 Lenovo Laptop with AMD R9 M375 and intel HD 5500 integrated
new sketches work fine using OpenGL but if I open a design it freezes, and I cant see the explorer panel.
-Using Discrete Graphics card (AMD R9 M375). I have gone through the blacklist steps to ensure vulkan is being used and the logs confirm this
-Removing all D3D libs from Wine (as per @madurani )
-Using Lutris 4.2 (as per @fehlfarbe)
-Installing the following packages in winetricks (as per @cryinkfly)-

-banging my head on the desk.
This is the last program I need to get working before I can completely leave windows, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Edit:
SOLVED*
Solution was to enable ACO shader compiler. Now it all appears to be working fine!
Thanks very much for all the info- leaving my question in case anyone else has the same issue.
Everybody they have some problems to run Fusion 360 on Ubuntu 20.04.2 . they get a solution from me! 🙂
hi yes, i already use lutris from the beginning. it works, however the program is rather slow for me. it might be because my GPU is not enough (gt1030). but overally Fusion 360 is ineffecient and slow program. so the WINE adds further to that
maybe inside a vm it should be faster
@dreamcat4 Which system do you use? 😊
Because You would like to know, how you can use CUDA .
But if you running this program into a vm, so we need a license for this system (windows),more powerful hardware, more time to managing two systems (Updates, . ) and another points. So is this not a solution for me. 😉
Edit:
SOLVED*
Solution was to enable ACO shader compiler. Now it all appears to be working fine!
I now got it running but I seem to have a similar problem (using a Radeon 5700 XT), but I didn’t install it using Lutris so I don’t know where to turn of this ACO shader compiler. Anyone can help me here?
The other issues I am having right now:
- Fusion 360 starts quite slow, it takes a minute or so (normal?)
- Maximizing the window causes the drawing canvas to go black after a second or so. It keeps the size of the window before maximizing. Also happens alot while drawing.
- Some toobars (the tree in the upper left corner, the view toolbar at the bottom middle and the tips at the right middle) are floating over every window. So Fusion 360 is in the background of the browser right now while I am typing this comment, and I still can see the mentioned things, even though the should be occluded by the browser.
- I always get a «Fusion 360 error report» crash window one minute or so after exiting.
Would be awesome, if someone knows how to fix these issues.
I was also thinking that it would be a good idea to put this whole thing including the setup process in an appimage or flatpak. Then ppl would not need to bother anymore with the installation themselves.
The slowness for me ended switching Fusion 360 renderer from DirectX to OpenGL so that might be a place to start:
Here is a complete list of what I did to get it to work on Lutris:
Fusion 360 on Kubuntu 20.0.4 with AMD R9 M375 (Lenovo Lptop)
- Install Lutris
- Install fusion from Lutris
- Switch Wine to to Lutris 4.20- lutris-lol-4.20-x86_64 (other versions may also work, best to experiment)
- Enable ACO shader compiler in Lutris
- Install vulkan (the site below has instructions for various OS and graphics cards)
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgrade $ sudi apt install libvulkan1 mesa-vulkan-drivers vulkan-utils
echo "blacklist radeon" | sudo tee --append /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf echo "options amdgpu si_support=1 cik_support=1" | sudo tee --append /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf sudo update-initramfs -u
- run Fusion 360 and switch graphics renderer to OpenGL
- Remove DirectX libs from Wine
- Install winetricks packages

@kpatel122 Thank you for your report. 👌🏻
I have published a video for Ubuntu user’s they have some problems to run Fusion 360 on there systems. 😊

thank you for taking the time to do this. and see a lot of your settings etc. In fact I have spend most of today trying to follow your instrucitons. Not perfectly or anything. however good enough to see that there is indeed a performance improvement for using OpenGL
unfortunately the installation is still not usable. the issue that occurs for me after switching to openGL system is that now the «Fusion 360» splash screen keeps blinking / replacing the main workspace. every time that you click on an object or perform some actions
i am not sure why this is happening. so if you have seen the same behaviour please say so. i have here a couple of issues, thinks that might be different. so i would like to ask about them:
- my graphics driver are nvidia proprietary (460.67). are you using the noveau drivers instead?
- because on my system, i cannot use wayland. only xorg is possible. due to the above drivers
- so they put some special program to disable wayland from the login screen
- so maybe if you are using wayland, it might explain this issue?
- fully updated on my system with software update
- so how did you install lutris there? i am on lutris/focal,focal,now 0.5.8.3~ubuntu20.04.1 all [installed]
- maybe would changing my installation PPA source for lutris solve this problem?
- but does it also fix the splash screen glitching?
overall very good effort. but the steps are still rather difficult to follow correctly. i discovered (for myself) that the biggest important difference was made when i did the following combination of things:
- change wine version to lutris 5.0 x64
- uncheck use system drivers in the game configuration in lutris
- maybe also uncheck E-sync or whatever others, or maybe those didn’t matter
mostly it seems to be the wine version lutris 5.0 x64 . As being the most important change from my existing setup. of course i also reinstalled fusion 360 from scratch (twice) today. but not initially on that wine version
another point was interesting to me: why select windows 8 in the winecfg, rather than win10 maybe? it’s not necessarily bad or wrong. just an interesting choice, maybe to permit the choice of openGL maybe?
very grateful for your help. perhaps you can feel like to explain more about other decisions too. which were not fully explained in the guide. just only the instruction given. but it’s less important to know. just nice to know 🙂
