launch sopaui from Linux

Hi,

It seems that you are running a headless machine. Please take a look at this Forum post where I believe this same issue has been addressed:
http://forum.soapui.org/viewtopic.php?t=12799.

Hi Giscard,
Thanks a lot for the valuable link info. I installed/config/ran X Server (Xming) and could launch Soapui GUI window popup. However, the GUI only showed up for a second and disappeared. The below is error message from putty screen:

$ echo $DISPLAY

Please Help!

Hi,

Please see this link for the error you are getting:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo ... o_Warnings

You need to install something like ttf-liberation to cache and enable fonts.

Macus,

Thanks for the suggestion. This problem drives me nuts.
'Font' issue is just a warning, I guess it is 'java crash'. I m posting the whole message as below:

Sorry for the late reply. Here is the log file.

Hi,

There was an issue with the jxbrowser, I would suggest you to download the latest version of SoapUI Pro,
http://www.soapui.org/Downloads/latest-release.html

This should work fine.

Thanks,
Jeshtha

Jeshtha,
Is there any alternative solution? I already have SoapUI Pro installed in windows and try to use open source version in Linux due to license limit. I google searched and found it might be jre/jdk 1.7 bug. So I point JAVA_HOME to 1.6 and got the different error (attached).
Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,

Since you cannot upgrade, I would suggest you to point to JRE 1.7 as the old JRE is not supported by Java.
Open the vmoptions file in the installation bin folder,
Add,
-Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true
Close and open SoapUI Pro. Make sure you are the root user.

Thanks,
Jeshtha
