Vivado 2022.1 installation gets stuck at ‘Generating installed device list’
Raw
vivado-installer-stuck.md

Just like Lukas Prokop, I ran into an issue installing Vivado 2022.1 on Ubuntu 22.04. The error looks just like in their article: https://lukas-prokop.at/articles/2021-02-02-vivado-install-stuck

His article gives a recipe to fix 2018.1 version but it's not exactly fit for 2022.1, though an underlying issue is probably the same. Fix is very similar as well, and I'm trying to give more generalized approach.

Fix

The idea is to fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment varible for commands the installer runs.

  1. Determine LD_LIBRARY_PATH that is used
% ps aux | grep -i xilinx | grep nolog 
hasselbach    3962997  0.0  0.0   2892    96 pts/0    S+   08:45   0:00 /bin/sh -c /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/bin/vivado -nolog -nojournal -mode batch -source /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/scripts/sysgen/tcl/xlpartinfo.tcl -tclargs /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/data/parts/installed_devices.txt

hasselbach    3963118  0.0  0.0 257016 22416 pts/0    Sl+  08:45   0:00 /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/bin/unwrapped/lnx64.o/vivado -nolog -nojournal -mode batch -source /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/scripts/sysgen/tcl/xlpartinfo.tcl -tclargs /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/data/parts/installed_devices.txt

These are stuck processes. We take PID of one of them to get the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

% cat /proc/3963118/environ
IL_PA_NO_MYVIVADO_OVERRIDE=1SHELL=/usr/bin/zshSESSION_MANAGER=...
...LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/python-3.8.3/lib:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/java-cef-78.3.9.242/bin/lib/linux64:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/lib/lnx64.o/Ubuntu:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/lib/lnx64.o:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/jre11.0.11_9/lib/:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/jre11.0.11_9/lib//server:/tmp/TMP_LD_LIB_PATH2022-07-07-22-54-55-1657223695:/tmp/selfgz3168759/lib/lnx64.o/Ubuntu:/tmp/selfgz3168759/lib/lnx64.o::/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/bin/../lnx64/tools/dot/libHDIPRELDPATH=/tmp/TMP_LD_LIB_PATH2022-07-07-22-54-55-1657223695:/tmp/selfgz3168759/lib/lnx64.o/Ubuntu:/tmp/selfgz3168759/lib/lnx64.o::/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/bin/../lnx64/tools/dot/libXDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000...

None that the output of this command is glued variables, you have carefully cut the value until next variable which vcan be recognized by following = character. In my case the path end here: /tools/dot/libXDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/use

  1. Run the stuck command with that LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
% export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/python-3.8.3/lib:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/java-cef-78.3.9.242/bin/lib/linux64:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/lib/lnx64.o/Ubuntu:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/lib/lnx64.o:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/jre11.0.11_9/lib/:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/jre11.0.11_9/lib//server:/tmp/TMP_LD_LIB_PATH2022-07-07-22-54-55-1657223695:/tmp/selfgz3168759/lib/lnx64.o/Ubuntu:/tmp/selfgz3168759/lib/lnx64.o::/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/bin/../lnx64/tools/dot/lib
% /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/bin/vivado -nolog -nojournal -mode batch -source /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/scripts/sysgen/tcl/xlpartinfo.tcl -tclargs /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/data/parts/installed_devices.txt
application-specific initialization failed: couldn't load file "librdi_commontasks.so": libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now we can see an actuall error: libtinfo.so.5 is missing from LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

  1. Fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

Find lost library and add that path to the variable:

% find  . | grep libtinfo.so.5
./xic/lib/lnx64.o/SuSE/libtinfo.so.5
./Model_Composer/2022.1/lib/lnx64.o/SuSE/libtinfo.so.5
./Vivado/2022.1/lib/lnx64.o/SuSE/libtinfo.so.5
./.xinstall/Vivado_2022.1/lib/lnx64.o/SuSE/libtinfo.so.5
./.xinstall/xic/lib/lnx64.o/SuSE/libtinfo.so.5
./.xinstall/DocNav/lib/lnx64.o/SuSE/libtinfo.so.5
./Vitis_HLS/2022.1/lib/lnx64.o/SuSE/libtinfo.so.5
./Vitis_HLS/2022.1/lnx64/tools/clang-3.9/lib/libtinfo.so.5
./Vitis_HLS/2022.1/lnx64/tools/clang-3.9/lib/libtinfo.so.5.7

Many paths have the library, I chose the last one because it does not mention SuSE (I was running Ubuntu), run fixed command:

% export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/python-3.8.3/lib:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/java-cef-78.3.9.242/bin/lib/linux64:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/lib/lnx64.o/Ubuntu:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/lib/lnx64.o:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/jre11.0.11_9/lib/:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/tps/lnx64/jre11.0.11_9/lib//server:/tmp/TMP_LD_LIB_PATH2022-07-07-22-54-55-1657223695:/tmp/selfgz3168759/lib/lnx64.o/Ubuntu:/tmp/selfgz3168759/lib/lnx64.o:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/bin/../lnx64/tools/dot/lib:/home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vitis_HLS/2022.1/lnx64/tools/clang-3.9/lib

This is success.

  1. Kill the stuck processes (see paragraph 1):
kill 3962997 3963000 3963031 3963118

Now the installer will proceed, but it may stcck again with another similar command:

  1. Repeat 3-4 for other stuck processes:
% ps aux | grep -i xilinx | grep nolog

In my case it was enough to run this command because I have exported LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

% /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Vivado/2022.1/bin/vivado -nolog -nojournal -mode batch -source /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Model_Composer/2022.1/data/xmcGenBoardParts.tcl -tclargs /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Model_Composer/2022.1/../../Vivado/2022.1 librdi_dsp_tcltasks.so /home/hasselbach/Xilinx/Model_Composer/2022.1/data

After succesful run I have killed them as well:

% kill 4139736 4139740 4139756 4139775
  1. Success

After killing the last stuck process, a message from installer will pop up with the very same errors that we have seen in the terminal, just press ok and you will see:
