[resolved] Unable to Launch

Recommended Posts

Well, I've fixed Sun Java and it runs well with other programs, but it won't launch Wurm. I'm using the wurm.jnlp as a launch, and it gives me 3 options: Run, Run in Terminal, and Display

Run and Display do nothing, and Run in Terminal, well, runs it in the terminal. I'm not entirely sure where to start, and help would be appreciated

Well,  it gives me the code. I could copy-paste that for you, EDIT: It used to give me a code, now it opens then closes terminal,  but here are the other things you asked for:

sudo update-alternatives --display java

  link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java - priority 1061  slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java - priority 63  slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/java.1.gzCurrent 'best' version is '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java'.

sudo update-alternatives --display javaws

javaws - auto mode  link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws - priority 1061  slave javaws.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/man/man1/javaws.1.gz/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/javaws - priority 63  slave javaws.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/javaws.1.gzCurrent 'best' version is '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws'.

you are currently using OpenJDK. Usually Wurm runs just fine with openjdk. No idea what's the problem on your system.

To use the Sun JDK by default run:

sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java

sudo update-alternatives --set javaws /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/javaws

after that please try again with: javaws http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp

Wait, what? Do you want me to enter the lines into the terminal? Also, I tried using sun java before and it literally does nothing ( Right click > open with > sun java 6 run time )

Great, it launched. Am I going to have to use that to launch it every time?

if you rrun javaws http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp it will launch the client, yes. the other commands you only needed to set the SUN Java as default on your system.

As an alternative you can either create a desktop shortcut that launches javaws http://www.wurmonline.com/client/wurmclient.jnlp or you can  configure your browser to launch jnlp files correctly and launch the game from the website.

The link pointed to:- http://www.google.at/search?hl=de&source=hp&biw=1270&bih=630&q=how+to+create+a+desktop+shortcut+with+ubuntu+linux&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

Also from windows its fairly easy to make a desktop shortcut/link for wurm, I'm not sure if the same holds true for Linux but here are the instructions:-

From java control panel view temporary internet files (or run javaws -viewer). if you have previously run wurm you should see it listed. Right click on the wurm entry and select install shortcut.
