JDownloader doens't work as it should

I have installed jre package for java and then downloaded JDownloader.

When i open the program with the command:

java -Xmx512m -jar ~/jd/JDownloader.jar

JDownloader fails to load and it doens't start. It stops when loading languages.

Is there someone who has managed to make it work?

PS: When i was on ubuntu it was perfect

Re: JDownloader doens't work as it should

works fine for me with just 'java -jar JDownloader.jar' although it appears to issue 'java =Xmx512m -jar JDownloader.jar' on its own. My question is, why use JDownloader? i don't see anything that makes it overly special.

Also with "java -jar JDownloader.jar" i have the same problem. It appears the splash screen and it blocks on loading languages. I also try installing openjdk6 but nothing...

But Ghost1227 what similar program do you advice better than JDownloader?

Re: JDownloader doens't work as it should

Are you specifically looking for something that supports rapidshare downloading?

Yes and other similar services like megaupload and other...

Re: JDownloader doens't work as it should

Are you using Sun Java, OpenJDK or something different?

Re: JDownloader doens't work as it should

It's only because i read somewhere something (you see real good information ) about problems with OpenJDK and JDownloader. Make sure to use Sun's JRE.
What you can try next is:
*) try to start JDownloader with this command: export "LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true" && java -Xmx1512m -jar JDownloader.jar
If this doesn't help:
*) Post the commandline output when you (try to) start JDownloader
*) Post the output of "java -version"
*) Redownload JDownloader

Re: JDownloader doens't work as it should

I tried all the tips above and JDownloader still doesn't work. It stops when "loading languages" too.

Java versión: 1.6.0_10

And the output (nothing significant, I guess):

Thanks in advance.

For those who may be interested, waiting for a few minutes it finally starts.

Re: JDownloader doens't work as it should

Thanks, drogg. I'll have a look at that script. But, anyway, JDownloader has the advantage of being able to download files from a lot of sites, as I usually do.

Re: JDownloader doens't work as it should

If your /etc/hosts looks like this:

127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost

try adding:

127.0.1.1               myhost.localdomain    myhost

where "myhost" is your hostname
