Ubuntu Mate: Exception in thread "main" error

[Mutini]

My environment:

VMWare Workstation Virtual Machine Ubuntu Mate 16.04.2 LTS x64 (latest updates) openjdk version "1.8.0_131" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-8u131-b11-0ubuntu1.16.04.2-b11) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode) Maven 3.3.9-3

I'm able to run RipMe 1.2.13 perfectly fine.

I can't run ripme 1.4.21 (can't run any 1.4 version). I get the following error(any ideas?)...

Initialized ripme v1.4.21 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException at java.awt.TrayIcon.(TrayIcon.java:144) at java.awt.TrayIcon.(TrayIcon.java:168) at com.rarchives.ripme.ui.MainWindow.setupTrayIcon(MainWindow.java:947) at com.rarchives.ripme.ui.MainWindow.createUI(MainWindow.java:250) at com.rarchives.ripme.ui.MainWindow.(MainWindow.java:164) at com.rarchives.ripme.App.main(App.java:51)

Although OpenJDK and Oracle Java should be the same thing, that might be the reason cuz I'm running Oracle Java of same version and same bit width as OS on Lubuntu 16.04.2 LTS x86 with RipMe 1.4.21 which runs as perfectly as it does on Window$ 7 Ultimate SP1 x64.

Since you're on an Ubuntu, try uninstalling OpenJDK, then follow these to install Oracle JDK (JRE ain't provided by the repo, for less work):

1) In the repo management window add ppa:webupd8team/java to the repos. The manager knows how to handle that address. 2) Install these packages:

oracle-java8-installer oracle-java8-set-default oracle-java8-unlimited-jce-policy

For completeness, the packages are:

• auto-installer/updater for the JDK (whenever a new release is out, updating this package does the rest)
• ensure this Java is made the default
• enable Java Cryptography Extension to use the best encryptions available

Thanks for the reply.

I did as you instructed.

My new Java Version java version "1.8.0_131" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

I compiled a fresh RipMe build, and the problem still occurs. I get the same error as posted above upon running 1.4.21, however I have no problem running version 1.2.13.

Could it be an Ubuntu Mate issue?

[rautamiekka]

Yeah, it certainly starts sounding like Ubuntu MATE issue, as I feared at first.

I get the same error as posted above upon running 1.4.21, however I have no problem running version 1.2.13.

We should look into what changed since. The only funny business with the app (outside of simply adding rippers and other minor changes) was a fix to prevent crashing on Windows 10 CU (1.4.12). Can you definitely not run 1.4.11?

Can you run version 1.3.0?

Can you run the app if you compile it on the same system you are trying to run it on? (Long shot but maybe worth a try?)

[rautamiekka]

Can't repro; booted Ubuntu MATE 16.04.2 LTS x64 live from an USB stick on an actual computer and installed Oracle Java the same way I instructed but the tested RipMe versions 1.4.21, 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 run just fine.

Not sure if this is a configuration issue or a failed upgrade, but on a fresh system no problem.

[Mutini]

I'm totally at a loss as to why my Ubuntu Mate virtual machine is behaving like this.

I went and downloaded the ripme.jar from git-hub for 1.4.11 and 1.3.0, and ran them from my download folder, and they worked. Then I stared downloading jar builds to see where it might be broken, but it started them all, right up to the current build.

Then, I went back to my clone directory, and tried to run the build I compiled, and it wouldn't work. But here's is where it gets strange. After I ran the compiled build, I then tired the other downloaded build, and it stopped working.

Something must be wrong in the manner this virtual machine was installed. Though, I tried it on 3 fresh VM's and they all behaved the same. Could be a bug with VMWare Workstaion and the way it's installing the VM.

Thanks for all the help.

[rautamiekka]

^ If you can afford the effort you could try with Oracle VirtualBox. It's not much different from how VMware Workstation is installed, unless VMware changed the procedure.

[Mutini]

Thanks for the suggestion, though I prefer VMWare. Its on the fly image restoration, and hardware emulation are just leaps and bounds better then VirtualBox, IMO. I'll just download the ripme.jar for now, and see if the issue resolves itself in future updates.

[metaprime]

If the official downloads are working for you but not the ones you build on your own, it's probably a Java build tools problem.

Good to know you can use the official builds! I'll close this now.

[Mutini]

Well, I figured out why I was getting that error. You'll love this.

The error was being thrown, because I deleted the Notification Area object from the toolbar panel.

When I added the Notification Area object back to the toolbar panel, RipMe's current version started working again.

This only affected certain builds of RipMe. The older builds, such as 1.3 and 1.2 were unaffected by this.

Considering the error was listing UI icons, this makes sense now. Freaking thing was driving me nuts. I'm assuming the TrayIcon error was the main culprit, which was probably preventing the UI from loading.

[rautamiekka]

^ In other words the tray icon part should be made optional by try ... catch.

[metaprime]

Thanks! Sounds like we understand the problem so I'm reopening this.

I'm getting this same error in Elementary OS with v1.5.2. Notification area isn't disabled though. Also this is the latest release jar not something I'm building.

@zaywolfe Make your own ticket.

[Mutini]

@zaywolfe are you sure you have the Notification Area added to your desktop panel?

I'm running Ubuntu Mate, and get the same error you're reporting. If I add the Notification Area to my desktop toolbar panel, then RipMe 1.5.2 works perfectly fine, without the Notification Area added I get the error you listed.

I posted a screenshot showing the Notification Area item you need to have activated.

@Mutini

Pretty sure. Here's a screenshot to be sure. But then this is Elementary OS and they like to modify things everyone else already has so they can be special. But then it makes it all act odd when programs expect it to act like the same way all the others do.

@rautamiekka

Do you think it needs another ticket? Looks like these are very related to me. Might have the same solution.

[Mutini]

@zaywolfe you might just have a volume indicator on your panel, the Notification Area object includes a Volume and Network object as shown in my previously posted pic. Right click the panel, and see if you can add a "Notification Area" object to your panel. Then try RipMe to see if you get the error.

RipMe, when activated, pops up in the notification area object. I assume the error is being thrown, because there's no Notification Area object active to answer the call.

[rautamiekka]

@zaywolfe I were thinking it could be similar but not the same, hence new ticket.

[metaprime]

@rautamiekka @zaywolfe I'd say this is substantially similar that there's no need to clutter the issue tracker with another ticket. Unless we fix one and see that it hasn't fixed the other related issue reported here, or otherwise prove it's different, we should keep it to one issue.

[rautamiekka]

^ True.

[rautamiekka]

I'm sorry for the spam, I'm just not really understanding GitHub, in an effort to avoid using Git's commands ...

[metaprime]

Fixed
