When upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04, some libraries are still needed for OpenCV 3.4 and others, but not provided by the new OS. We can install it like this:
sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main”
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libjasper1 libjasper-dev
For 16.04 create the following file (it doesn’t exist)
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
with the contents:
[Seat:*]
autologin-user=
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/synergyc <hostname>

Error when compiling « DScalar1 »
SOLUTION: modify « include/mitsuba/core/autodiff.h »
Add the following definition in the “DScalar1”:
inline DScalar1& operator*=(const DScalar1 &v) {
grad = v.grad * value + grad * v.value;
value *= v.value;
return *this;
}
