Public bug reported:
First time KiCad install on an Ubuntu 16.04LTS Cinnamon machine. NO
other KiCad versions have been installed on this machine. First time
user, long time CAD experience.
Libraries seem to be called out wrong by the software. There are none of
the standard descrete modules (though 7400's are there). The software
tells me it's looking for, as an example: 'Capacitors' but the modules
installed during install are all singular, example, 'Capacitor'.
All the footprints in PCB are missing. Again, the software shows it's
looking for modules that don't exist.
So in KiCads Ubuntu version nearly all the libraries are empty since the
software is pointing to modules that don't exist. And no way to easily
change the all the module names or the software. This is true for
Eeschema & PCBnew. The software seems to be pointing to V4 modules
instead of V5 modules.
1) Ubuntu 16.04LTS
2) kicad:

3) I expected to be able to find footprints suitable for layout in PCB.
4) There are no footprints available for work within Eeschema or PCBnew. And I
can't find any simple way to cause the KiCad software to look for the modules
that are installed.
