workaround javaws worked, then stopped. (quits when preferences selected) I followed the FAQ for "crashes when I want to edit preferences" and on my debian linux machine I get downloads happening, timing out, and causing a quit, but twice I got all the way to opening preferences. It is slow and hit or miss. How can I run so javaws downloading is not needed, but I still need to use the SweetHome3D-Java3D1.3.jnlp settings? |

Re: workaround javaws worked, then stopped. (quits when preferences selected) John, The problems you describe make me think your video drivers aren't uptodate. I had a similar problem while using Ubuntu 9.10, but ever since updating to Ubuntu 10.04 SH3D works like a charm.

Re: workaround javaws worked, but needs downloads each time I use it... thanks Hansmex, I will look at my xorg install. Perhaps it is because I am using nouveau drivers for nvidia. The workaround is fine. I get sh3d wroking fine. I would still like to know how to start sh3d differently than using javaws so it downloads pieces from eteks.com It is slowly downloading every time. I'd like to save the downloads somewhere and not depend on the connection all the time. |

Re: workaround javaws worked, but needs downloads each time I use it... John, Version 3.0 is not an installed version, but a kind of inbetween. It checks online whether it's still current. If so, it starts, if not it downloads and starts. Seen the fact that Emmanuel (the main programmer) is pretty busy for the moment, it might take a while before v3.0 is out of beta. You can (try to) download and install version 2.6, which is the last official release. If you install all the plug-ins (read the tutorial ) you have something that's similar to v3.0, Hans ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |

Re: workaround javaws worked, but needs downloads each time I use it... John, If you know how to build a Java program with Ant, you still have the option to build your own version from source code. See README.TXT file for more information. The easiest Ant target is probably the one named jarExecutable. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

Re: workaround javaws worked, but needs downloads each time I use it... "The easiest Ant target is probably the one named jarExecutable." Oh... I figured that out and built it with no errors. ant makes a file install/SweetHome3D-2.6.jar When I execute that it puts this to the screen: john@toolbench:/moredata/SweetHome3D-2.6-src/install$ ./SweetHome3D-2.6.jar Java 3D WARNING : reported GLX version = 1.2 GLX version 1.3 or higher is required The reported version number may be incorrect. There is a known ATI driver bug in glXQueryVersion that incorrectly reports the GLX version as 1.2 when it really is 1.3, so Java 3D will attempt to run anyway. Segmentation fault John |

Re: workaround javaws worked, but needs downloads each time I use it... The ant compile also gave these warnings: [javac] Compiling 166 source files to /moredata/SweetHome3D-2.6-src/build/classes [javac] Note: /moredata/SweetHome3D-2.6-src/src/com/eteks/sweethome3d/swing/JPEGImagesToVideo.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

Re: workaround javaws worked, but needs downloads each time I use it... It's great you succeed to build SweetHome3D-2.6.jar, but you should build SweetHome3D-3.0.jar from CVS sources. Don't worry for the warnings. If program fails, it might be because of the JRE you use. Give its full path when you launch Sweet Home 3D: /path/to/java -jar SweetHome3D-3.0.jar---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |
