[SOLVED] Failing installation of Collect on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bits)

Question

Dear all,

I know there is a thread on installing Collect in LINUX environment but it is several months old so I take the initiative to start another one.

The latest installer for Linux (3.12.24) doesn't work for me. I run Ubuntu 16.04 in 64-bits

> uname -a
> Linux dannunzio-HP-EliteBook-820-G3 4.8.0-41-generic #44~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 3 17:11:16 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Installation seems to go fine, no error message. Collect gets installed on my ~/ rather than /opt/ but I get the desktop links and all seems fine.

I made all repository executable but whenever I try to start Collect the HTML page fails, I suspect the server is not starting.

Could someone help me sort that out ?

Thanks

Answer 1

@collectearth, We get the same error, which in a way is good news because it means a reproducible problem. Thanks for reporting

@OF Collect, could it be possible to get some more information on your configuration and why it works on yours and not ours ?

There is most likely a couple of libraries that are missing from a fresh Ubuntu 64-bits. Any chance to have a more interactive session to try to find out which ?

Dummy question: do you need to have Java installed first ?

help still very much needed, using the online installation is not an option (for ownership reasons) and I got lost at your last instructions for local version

Thanks in advance

Hi Remi,
I have a Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 64-bit and I have installed the libraries libgtk2.0-0 and libgtk3-0. This can make the difference between our configurations.
Anyway, we will change the control panel so that no additional libraries will be required in Linux. The new version will be ready by tomorrow.
Thanks a lot,

Hi I am getting the same error on version collect-installer-3.21.12-linux.run

When I run ./OpenForisCollect-launcher.run , following error appears

I am not using OpenJDK but java-8-oracle version 1.8.0_171 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Note: I installed CollectEarth few weeks back and it is working.
