Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? Me too! I cannot get SH3D to run using the installer. I'm running Mint 17.3. (I also had the problem on 17.2, before upgrading.) When I run the installer, the splash (3 in x 3 in graphic) for SH3D appears on the screen, then ... nothing. The splash just stays there (and gets in the way) - until I reboot or I open "system monitor" and kill the "java..." process that was started (and continues) from executing the installer. I can run (and use!) webstart version! But I'd really like to use some of the new (and older) add-ons that will only run on the local version. So I've been fiddling, but unsuccessfully. I have some other ideas, but I don't know enough to continue (really - I know very little, but that doesn't stop me). I'd love some help. Here is some background: Mint 17.3, nVidia graphics, installed default Java version: "1.7.0_80" (Oracle), (also have version "1.8.0_101" installed - webstart works with either java version, version "1.9.xx" is also now available, but I don't think this will make a difference under my current circumstances - see below). As i understand, the installer is setup to use it's own portable JRE (version 6). I also understand that the installer uses a sweethome3d.jar that is not "a full Jar executable" (see http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,6817) A full Jar executable file can (I understand) be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sweethome3d/f...etHome3D-5.2.jar/download (again, see thread: http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,6817) If I wanted to try "installation" of SH3D using the full jar and my system java version - how do I go about it? (Or would I actually be "running" SHD3 this way? - I have only a vague understanding of what's really happening with the .jar file) The "full .jar" solution seems to have worked in thread http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,6817 It seems that some (simple?) modification of the installer file would do the trick - but this is way above my pay grade (at this time - I'm bucking for a promotion to a higher pay grade!) I'm pretty green with Linux, complete green with java, but I pretend to have a clue. Thanks for your help! Great program! |
