 |
|
Hi,
Jabref fails to load with the following error message:
| Code: | $ jabref
current locale is not supported in X11, locale is set to CX locale modifiers are not supported, using defaultWarning: Cannot convert string "-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
Unable to create graphical interface. |
Any ideas? I did the java upgrade a month or two ago... and I probably haven't used jabref since.
blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03-r13

OK, I tried that but it didn't work.
(I've never explicitly set a locale on any machine that I use. Would there be a reason the default wouldn't work?) |

Just as follow up... I still haven't fixed this problem.
The suggested fix in the referenced ubuntu forum involves modifying library binaries, and it looks like a hack to me. There has to be a configurable solution. I guess I'll keep looking. |

I've got it fixed. It turns out jabref didn't like the default java VM
| Code: | # java-config -L
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
*) Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.03 [blackdown-jdk-1.4.2]
2) Blackdown JRE 1.4.2.03 [blackdown-jre-1.4.2]
3) Sun JDK 1.5.0.09 [sun-jdk-1.5]
# java-config -S sun-jdk-1.5
Now using sun-jdk-1.5 as your generation-2 system JVM |
After that, it works.
Thanks. |
