Problematic gephi installation on ubuntu 12.04 #943

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I am trying to install gephi on my ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.5.0-54-generic. But, I'm very much disturbed because after installation, when I try to run gephi. The splash screen shows up and thats it. Its been a severe problem and my online classes are about to start in a week. So, I need your help in fixing this issue. Please help me out! I am not sure if the java thing recommended for this software is right. So, I'm posting a few lines following the command varun@laptop:~/gephi$ sudo update-alternatives --config java [sudo] password for varun: There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

Selection Path Priority Status

0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java 1062 auto mode 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java 1061 manual mode 2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java 1051 manual mode

Please help me guys

The first thing to check would be to see if you can uninstall the Java 8 update 5. That particular update is what is causing problems for most people. Otherwise it should work fine with Java 8 or 7

Duplicate of #748

Gephi does not work in Mac OS sine Java 7 and Windows since Java 8. It's due to problems with old JOGL version and is going to be updated in next version.

Please check https://forum.gephi.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3580&p=10712#p10712 for help about running Gephi with Java 6.
