Won't even load

[HAMSARRISON]

Just purchased filebot via ubuntu software centre. On double clicking the icon in the dash nothing happens. Will not load.

Am I missing something here or is it broken?

using ubuntu 12.1

thanks in advance.

Nope, I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 and it works out of the box.

Try running from Terminal and see if you get any output:

Code: Select all

/opt/filebot/bin/filebot.sh

Make sure you got Java 7 installed and working:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
sudo apt-get install gvfs
sudo apt-get install -f

thanks. installing java worked

[rednoah]

That's odd, the Ubuntu guys already told me they put openjdk-7-jre on the dependency list... I'll bring it up again for next version.

I have the same problem, except mine have not been solved by installing java.
I installed the app using the 64 bit debian package, and when I try and load FileBot from the menu a taskbar comes up saying "Starting FileBot", and then it disappears and the app doesn't open.

Code: Select all

I get this when I run

Code: Select all

filebot

in the terminal. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I notice that " OpenJDK Runtime Environment 1.6.0_27 (headless)" seems to suggest I'm using an older and headless JRE, however I have the latest OpenJDK jre installed... Any suggestions?

[rednoah]

You've probably installed both. Make sure java command is linked to the Java 7 java, not your old Java 6 headless java that you seem to have installed as well.
