Linux Agent Install Problem

Hello,

Do you have java in your PATH? What I mean that try installing Java and set JAVA_HOME and add a JAVA_HOME/bin to your PATH. That could be quick fix.

Let me know, does it helps,
robert

I also get the message on Ubuntu 64bit Lucid. I find it weird that the soapUI-x32-3_5.sh does essentially the same initial launch sequence and yet loads the java installer GUI just fine. Does this help identify a potential bug? PS, I set up the HOME and PATH as indicated and this didn't make a difference for me.

2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 19:31:57 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

sudo ./loadUI-Agent-1_0-beta1.sh
Unpacking JRE ...
Preparing JRE ...
Starting Installer ...
Error: could not open `/usr/local/src/loadUI-Agent-1_0-beta1.sh.3525.dir/jre/lib/i386/jvm.cfg'

YAY! I I uninstalled all the open source java JREs and JDKs which was a handful. OPENJDK, gcj, etc...

Then, I ran:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-source
sudo ./loadUI-1_0-beta1.sh
sudo /opt/eviware/loadUI-1.0-beta1/loadUI.sh

It loaded the installer and launched the application.

I wasn't able to use the menu launches in Applications... Other... LoadUI.sh. It only loads the splash.

I cannot execute the application from /usr/local/bin. I got "/usr/local/bin/loadUI.sh: 41: jre/bin/javaws: not found". This could be my own problem.

I also couldn't run ./loadUI.sh from :/opt/eviware/loadUI-1.0-beta1 without sudo, again could be my own problem.

I was able to install as my non-sudo user into my own home directory and that allowed the applications menu, desktop launcher and command line to work without sudo.

Being that I wanted my installation to sit happily in the /opt/eviware directory along side SOAPUI, a sudo-user installation allows me to run "sudo /opt/eviware/loadUI-1.0-beta1/loadUI.sh" so, I'm a happy guy right now.

Hello,

Here is one hint/information regarding java and Ubuntu. When install OS it uses gcj not sun java or open jdk. So, you need to install it first.
do that by using synaptic or on Lucid like it was explained in previous post:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jd

But this does not means that your Ubuntu use it. Check with

java -version

What you need to do is to tell Ubuntu which Java you need. First, check what are alternatives ( all installed Java versions ):

sudo update-java-alternatives -l

Than:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

to set desired Java.

Hope this helps,
robert

Thanks Robert!

Hello,

From this moment in nightly build ( http://www.eviware.com/nightly-builds/loadui/1.0-beta1/ ) are available linux 64 bit installations for loadUI and loadUI Agent.
Tested on Ubuntu Lucid64. It would be great if someone try this on some other Linux distro and let us know how it how it works.

Hey Robert,

I didn't have success executing the application with "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx" It installed fine. Below are the steps I took:

uname -a
Linux 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 08:03:28 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)

sudo update-java-alternatives -l
java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

sudo update-alternatives --config java
There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
Nothing to configure.

sudo /opt/eviware/loadUI-1.0-beta1/loadUI.sh
Java Web Start splash screen process exiting .....
Bad installation. No JRE found in configuration file: No such file or directory

I get a Java 6 splash which comes up for a few seconds and then disappears. I don't have this problem with the 32-bit version.

I got the same results as Syndog when I tried to install/run the agent on Centos 5.2 using Sun's JRE 1.6.0_21

Hello,

Hm...Can you edit loadUI.sh to use your already installed java/javaws(for agenet)/javaws(for controller). Just edit last lines of scripts to use java/javaws instead $JAVA/$JAVAWS?

Let me know how it goes,
robert

Robert,

Can we just have the installer look at $JAVA_HOME
OR
have the JRE be completely embedded
OR
both

Not everyone is using Ubuntu!
This will NOT work on CentOS/RedHat.
