Hello, I have tried to install this in many ways - starting with software centre, moving on to installing java 8, and using the methods on the site through terminal.

When I start it in terminal the icon comes up but it just hangs - no error message; terminal just hangs as well until I kill it. filebot action test just hangs as well.

How can I get this working? I have Java 8, I have the 64 bit version, I have cleared cache, uninstalled, re-installed, re-started and based on the above it should be fine I think. What should I try next?

There's no issues in the log. If you run filebot (GUI) from the cmdline it'll naturally wait till it'll exit. So if it "hangs" it's most likely running, but you can't see it for some reason.

Is the window somehow moved off screen? Different monitor/desktop? Try -clear-prefs. You can try the portable version, or just the jar. Maybe the official Oracle JRE 8 will work better? In case you're using OpenJDK.

If something isn't working it would just crash, it would never freeze.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I do have two monitors but with only one on and after a restart, still the same

Tried $ filebot -clear-prefs but still the same

I'm on ubuntu and can't find how to run it as portable version or just jar

Have you tried google?

Ah, er, well... ALT spacebar seemed to do the trick.

Thanks for that - I'm pretty new at linux and there's quite a bit of relearning to do.

Thanks again
