Does anyone know of software that does the basic stuff Smartboard does
ie I want to project a presentation onto a Smartboard and then use the pens
to be able to annotate it - it doesn’t need to be that clever as in save the annotation
The Smartboard Linux version is very old and only deb based ( and doesn’t work
with Jessie ) I have tried Open Sakore and that confused the heck out of me

Have a look at this: Home · OpenBoard-org/OpenBoard Wiki · GitHub
EDIT: There even are openSUSE packages in the Education repos: openSUSE Software
I gave this a go and got
/usr/bin/OpenBoard: line 17: 15224 Segmentation fault env QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$QT_PLUGIN_PATH:/usr/lib64/OpenBoard/OpenBoard/plugins LD_LI
BRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib64/OpenBoard/plugins/cffadaptor /usr/lib64/OpenBoard/OpenBoard “$@”
Any idea what it means ???

I don’t know what might cause a segmentation fault (at least I wouldn’t expect setting an environment variable would do so)
You might start by inspecting the referenced line of code and maybe the 2 lines of code preceding. If you don’t see what the problem is, then post those lines of code to this Forum Thread for others to inspect. I might look for <how> the environment variables are set, it may not be done correctly. Generally speaking common methods to modify or inject new environment variables include
You can also test whether variables have already been set, either by your app or for use by other apps using echo, eg
echo $QT_PLUGIN_PATHecho $LD_LIBRARY_path
echo $QT_PLUGIN_PATH
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
A quick Google search suggests that the QT paths might be actively used, but I’m pretty sure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been deprecated although can still be set.
As Knurpht suggests though, there may be a package that not only installs your app but also makes the necessary environment settings for you.

Yes, I got the package from the repositories.
I’ve messed about with my machine so I’ll try a fresh install and see what happens
