Karmic fresh install, vuze won't open, gives java error

Asked by Scott Todd

Already asked this in the forums, but nobody has an answer....yet. Not sure if it really ought to be a bug report, suspect I broke it myself but here goes:

I recently upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic, had some hardware issues. Software all worked okay, in particular, vuze was better than before. In order to resolve some of the other issues, I decided to do a fresh install of Karmic, to see if ext4 and grub2 actually improved the performance of my computer. Actually it is even slower than before especially on booting, but that is not my issue...

I installed my usual extras: including ubuntu-restricted-extras and vuze, using "sudo aptitude install ...". While I was waiting for them to finish installing, I was configuring other things, such as the time being updated using an internet server, which of course installed ntp. My best guess is it interrupted the installation with some error: I thought nothing of it and reran the aptitude command.

Now when I open vuze it just aborts. I tried opening it using the terminal, and it gave an error about java. I am unable to figure out how to fix this. I have tried uninstalling the extras, and reinstalling, tried installing different versions of java. Nothing...

Before I go ahead and try to do a fresh install over again, is there ANYTHING else I should try first?

Here is the message that it gives:

Yeah... you'll need to install Sun Java 32 bit (even on 64-bit systems).... and pretend OpenJDK doesn't exist.

apt-get install ia32-sun-java5-bin
apt-get install ia32-sun-java6-bin

Pretend OpenJDK doesn't exist.

export AZUREUS_JAVA="/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun/jre/bin/java"

Gave it a shot. Though apparently version 5 is now obsolete and the name of the pkg is now just sun-java6-bin, no ia32...

Here is what I did:
sudo apt-get install vuze ia32-sun-java5-bin ia32-sun-java6-bin
sudo apt-get install vuze sun-java6-jre
export AZUREUS_JAVA="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java"

I got the same error:

What else should I try?

Is your ubuntu 64bit or 32bit? If you re unsure please give the output of:

uname -a

I found the java on the repos to be a real pain in the ass so I can give the manual method.

Thanks

Not sure, if I were to guess I would have said 32.
scott@scott-desktop:~$ uname -a
Linux scott-desktop 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:54:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

However, I might like to point out that vuze was working fine before I did the clean install. This is one of 2 issues left from before I did the clean reinstall (with home on a separate partition kept intact), with the reasons I did the clean install no longer an issue.

Previously, I upgraded from Jaunty, so there are bound to be differences that I am unaware. Just trying to give a complete picture.

Your Ubuntu is 32bit:
i686 = 32bit
x86_64 = 64bit

This will give you java:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html

32bit is insanely easy for native plugins

If you have java please mark as solved (I read your previous post as you had done a clean install and all is well now)

I have been deleting the logs, since everything I try creates another one. But they appear identical in every other way. This is hs_err_pid4330.log:

suggestion:

it seems as if your java binary still points to the same java package. you need to point to the newly installed package.

type 'which java' to find the binary path

make sure the path to the binary points to the new sun jre

type java -version to see which you are running

if its the wrong one, make a symbolic link to the right one.

another way to test this would be to find the sun binary, call it with the program you wish to run as an argument to see if the new jre works for you.

scott@scott-desktop:~$ which java
/usr/bin/java

...which is linked to /etc/alternatives/java

/etc/alternatives/java is linked to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java

... how do I change a link to point to the right one?

From the beginning I have believed that something got corrupted in my java install when I first added vuze after my clean install. I didn't have issues running vuze in karmic before using the defaults, so when my vuze install crashed and wouldn't start, I thought the answer was there. My initial reaction was to uninstall and reinstall, but nothing changed. However...

sudo apt-get remove --purge vuze openjdk-6-jre
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install vuze

...seemed to do the trick. So it works now, I am happy. On to my other remaining issue, hopefully I won't need to open another case just for that one... ;)

Azures/Vuze isn't pure Java. It contains some binary 32-bit code. That code needs to be run within SUN MICROSYSTEMS 32-BIT JRE, not OpenJDK OR 64-bit Java.

Steps to fix:

1. Install the Sun Microsystem's Java
2. set AZUREUS_JAVA environment variable to point to Sun Microsystems' 32-bit JRE binary (/xxx/xxx/bin/java) -- I know you didn't do this, because "Java VM: OpenJDK Client VM" shows up when you run vuez/azures

might want to check if AZUREUS_JAVA ... pretty sure the environment variable is sitll called the same thing.vuze, but I might be wrong...

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to help me. It is really appreciated.

Please believe me, I ran the line that you asked me to run and it still came up with OpenJDK. I believe it may have to do with the fact that the java installation got corrupted when the install was abruptly interrupted. This is why it kept crashing whenever I tried to do a regular uninstall/reinstall, or tried to substitute Sun Java in its place.

As for OpenJDK not working with vuze, could you kindly provide me with some links to show me the evidence/reasons (if you know of any), because as far as I can tell, vuze was working perfectly with OpenJDK before I corrupted the install. And it is working perfectly now; note that I have no Sun Java, only OpenJDK.
