Hey guys

In version 0135 i could use the Launcher module in Xubuntu to create a shortcut for processing on the task bar. Launcher would simply run the command "/home/alj/Programs/processing-0146/processing" and Processing would start. This was nice because it's much faster than to start it manually, plus you don't get a terminal window to mess around with for the rest of the time Processing is running. However, with the new version 0146 this does not seem to be working. Any ideas?

Also, when running it everything seems to work, except for OpenGL. If I try to run the SpaceJunk sketch, I get the error "no gluegen-rt in java.library.path". I guess something is missing somewhere but I have no idea of how to solve it. I'm running Xubuntu 8.04.

Any help is appreciated.

what do you mean by does not seem to be working? that processing won't start, or sketches won't start?

for opengl, that message is complaining about libgluegen-rt.so being missing from opengl/library. extract it from jogl-natives-linux-***.jar and you should be set. (this is just an error in the processing distribution.)

Hmmm, honestly I can't seem to find the file gluegen-rt.so. If I go to /processing-0146/libraries/opengl/library/ I have gluegen-rt.jar and libgluegen-rt.jnilib.

In this folder I also have 2 jogl-natives-linux-***.jar but none of them contain gluegen-rt.so as far as I can tell.

Any ideas?

Hmm, I wonder what's wrong... I downloaded 0147 on both my laptop(Toshiba Satellite Pro U200) and my Asus Eee.. both running Xubuntu 8.04.

On my Eee with 0147, the shortcut stuff still doesn't work. When I try OpenGL stuff I get the error "Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.RuntimeException: GLDrawableFactory.chooseGraphicsConfiguration() was not used when creating this Component".

On my laptop, 0135 works flawlessly with OpenGL - SpaceJunk and other OpenGL stuff works. The shortcut also works. However, if I change the path to my folder with 0147, nothing happens when I click the icon. For OpenGL stuff in 0147, I get the exact same error as on my Eee, mentioned above.

Hope you guys can use this info because I have no idea what's wrong.

Thanks a lot for the very quick support.

I'm not sure about the 586 stuff, it's a 900 MHz Celeron (Eee 900). However, the other laptop I have is an Intel Dual Core 1.66 GHz and the error is exactly the same. My friend, running Ubuntu on an even 3rd computer is also getting the error.

Is nobody else running Linux having this problem? Does it work for everybody else?
