You need to provide more information when you say "i tried doing this but still it wont work".

Could you please tell me from the scratch how did you install labview on linux please?

Because i kinda messed up the files while converting .rpm files to .deb 

Can you give me the link of the installation files?

p.s. I do have the original copy of LabVIEW 2016 of windows version

Hi Michel,

I was able to install LabVIEW 2016 on Ubuntu 18.04 the same way. Were you able to get any additional functionality? For example the Labview Detailed Help appears to be entirely unavailable.

You need to buy LabVIEW for linux.  You can't mess up the rpm files if you bough it from NI, it comes on a DVD.  So I can't provide the link to any files.

Hello Ben,

You need to specify a browser that will open the detail help file.  On my Ubuntu 18.04 I'm using firefox.  To find where the appliation binaries of firefox are located type the following in a terminal.

>which firefox

This should return the location of the application binaries, in my system it returns:

/usr/bin/firefox

You need to select firefox when you click on detail help. Here's the result in firefox:

What I mean is, the detailed help button is grayed out and cannot be pressed. I've assigned a web browser to open other web-based pages, but my help folder does not contain the html sub-folder that yours does. Maybe I missed something during installation.

Here's a screenshot of the *.deb I've installed, see the one highlighted is the help files.
