[Solved] MagicAssistant crashes after splash-screen

ReaphSharc · 2012-07-15 14:21:57

I installed MagicAssistant today, but it crashes shortly after the splashscreen disappears.

I'm running Arch on a x86_64 system, and I installed the AUR magicassistant-gtk-multi package (the magicassistant-gtk package in AUR is i686 only).

Any clue towards getting it to run would be appreciated ;-)

I'm the maintainer of this package and I'm sorry to tell you that you're the first one having issue with it.

Currently, I have tested this package on two x86_64 machine and one i686. No problem.

Can you give me the result of:

pacman -Q gtk2 jre7-openjdk libwebkit unzip libwebkit

and

java -version

ReaphSharc · 2012-07-19 12:04:41

Of course:

> pacman -Q gtk2 jre7-openjdk libwebkit unzip libwebkit
gtk2 2.24.10-3
jre7-openjdk 7.u5_2.2.1-1
libwebkit 1.8.1-1
unzip 6.0-6
libwebkit 1.8.1-1
> java -version
java version "1.7.0_05-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.2.1) (ArchLinux build 7.u5_2.2.1-1-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)

Thanks for trying to help out with this. ;-)

Ok, so it's seem to no be a dependencies or a jdk issue.

Have you ever a similar problem with other java apps?

Did it crash before asking you where is your collection folder? (Only on the first loading)

A java.lang.NullPointerException error had to be reproductible if it is a problem why the code. Does it always crash with the same log? Right after "Loading 4E took 0 s" ?

Maybe your edition database is corrupted but I don't know why. Have you try reinstallling it?

Have you check your space disk and memory usage?

I'm asking a lot of question but I really want to help you with that.

I have removed and reinstalled it on a my x86_64 test machine and I still don't have any problem with the latest version.

No, but I tend to avoid Java apps whenever I can ;-)

No, it creates it automatically whenever I delete it. I did get the popup on first loading.

Yes:

I've tried removing the app and reinstalling it as well as the MagicAssistantWorkspace directory.

I'm on a netbook, so memory can be a bit tight, but it crashes when I'm not running any desktop apps as well (I have a few hundred MB free in that case).

And I greatly appreciate it. ;-)

Try this

rm MagicAssistantWorkspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap

Source

ReaphSharc · 2012-07-19 16:16:47

Tried it, but...

> rm MagicAssistantWorkspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap
rm: cannot remove ‘MagicAssistantWorkspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap’: No such file or directory

The dirtectory isn't there, so perhaps not even created yet?

Found this tread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122197

Do you have eclipse installed? If so, try without it, just for test purpose.

Is log functionnal for you? (aka MagicAssistantWorkspace/.metadata/.log)

ReaphSharc · 2012-07-20 14:02:42

After reading the other thread, I installed xulrunner192 and solved the issue. Perhaps it's a dependency of the package. I don't have Eclipse installed by the way.

Thanks for helping out with this. Time for me to start adding my collection to Magic Assistant ;-)

Nyutag · 2012-07-20 14:30:51

Nice!

Could you put your solution in the the AUR thread?

I have xulrunner installed on one computer but not on the other one. Both works great! Weird, but whatever, it's work!

ReaphSharc · 2012-07-21 12:24:07

I don't have Firefox or any other Mozilla product installed. Could that be the reason for it to not work on certain systems?

And I'll add the 'workaround' to the AUR page.
