JAVA2D on Linux?
Nov 20th, 2008, 9:04am  
Folks;

being fairly new to processing, I made my way through the Getting-Started-Guide just to figure out that the "Hello Mouse" example is not working, just does show a grey window and a single white line and no change whatsoever. Digging a little deeper, I figured out that playing with the different renderer options actually does change this behaviour on my platform. Actually, it seems that only the default/JAVA2D renderer is not working, everything else (P[2|3]D, OPENGL) does fine. So to ask: Are there any known issues with JAVA2D renderer on Linux platforms? I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 on the machine in question...

TIA and all the best,
Kristian

What version of Java are you using? That sounds like a Java2D problem, for instance that the JVM shipped with Processing doesn't like your OS or video drivers, or you're using another JVM instead of the one shipped w/ Processing that feels the same way.

In which way does the Processing/JRE Linux bundle depend upon a locally installed JDK? Running processing through the start script that comes with the package, I suppose it makes use of the JVM it shipped with, but I do have JAVA_HOME and friends set to point to my "regular" JDK installation. However I had to learn that my notebook (Ubuntu 8.10, JDK 1.6u10) does behave different here inasmuch as, on this machine, JAVA2D works flawlessly... Strange, gonna dive into this again tonite... thanks for your support on that, by now, much appreciated. Smiley
